COVID-19 — Coronavirus

It’s hard to know what it was but we’ve realised the symptoms are the exact same as the Coronavirus.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s been here for longer than they said.

Myself and my wife have both had this for about two months now. I think it's just there's been a nasty flu going round, rather than Coronavirus being already out there (much) more than people think. The numbers of tests coming back negative is an indicator of that and that our ICUs weren't overloaded months ago.
 
Just before Gavin Williamson came on Sky to deliver his speech, they flashed up a breaking news across the screen which duly disappeared and hasn't been seen again.

It quoted someone in Italy saying that young people were now becoming seriously ill.

It immediately sent a shiver down my spine and I wonder if someone deliberately ordered for that to be taken down?

Did anybody else see this just before 5pm?

Let's say they pushed a message like that out into the wild, it would help the authorities push the lockdown because if young people thought they were in any danger they'd be taking more care and maybe observe the precautions.

This is the worse thread on the internet.
I'm on loads of different sites covering various topics.
NONE are as paranoid and doom mongering than this one.
Some people need to take a break reading/posting for a few days.
For your own metal health as well as others...
We have a lot of FOC's. on here,we are going to be very concerned and every new press conference and figures coming in from around the world are very dire,not sure what kind of reaction you think we should have
 
My niece seems to have it. She's a supply teacher in London and she's been covering for teachers who are off sick. She says lots of kids had coughs etc.
Self isolating now. Schools should be closed now, not Friday. 2 more days, more sick teachers.

This is just refilling the gap we've gained from not having pre match threads.

Just a smidgen more serious though this one.
 
I'd wager at least 30 per cent of schools will remain open as a result of the very specific criteria the government have exempted.

My wife is a SEN teacher, looking after vulnerable kids, those on the spectrum and everything in between.

Basically teachers being told to sacrifice herself for the greater good, which I do understand.

My own view is the entire country should be on lockdown for the next fortnight at least, no exceptions barring essential workers.

As far as I can see, the only people making any type of sacrifice so far is our front line medical professionals.

It's not even started for the rest of us yet?
Supermarket workers with the amount of customers, surely?
 
And I am on quite a few and they are very similar to this one, with wide ranging stances, outlooks, and assessments.

Rather than disparage the thread and posters, contribute to it in the way you would like to see the discussion framed. Or don’t contribute.

There’s no need to make your limited contribution a belittling of those discussing the current situation, especially as there are other threads that are seemingly more in line with how you think things should be discussed. Go to those.

How come if other posters have a different view to yours,you seem to
belittle them I’ve noticed if continuously through this thread. Every member is entitled to their opinion not just you
 
Has anyone been suffering with headaches?

I very rarely get them, in fact i am struggling to remember te last time i did have one.

But for the last week i have has a very mild but constant headache that i just can't shift.

Bud, someone calling other concerned posters paranoid over this unfolding threat is deluded. Someone mentioned upstream that there are a lot of older members who have grave concerns and younger members who have concerns for their elderly relatives.

To call them paranoid is ignorant at best.

Agree wholeheartedly.

That might just be stress. Well I hope so, because I've had one for a few days too!
