COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[kaz7]

Ok thanks. We’re the docs protected from your virus on this ? Did they know they were treating for Corona

any tips looking back for when that sore throat breathing started ? Did you also have high temp ?

The dr might have had gloves on that is all, ,i couldn't single out the exact order but it felt like it hit me at the same time,my temp was very high,up in the 38's and it was hard to breathe

I can tell you are worried,if you are normally healthy then as far as i can tell you don't have anything much to worry about if you get it,it is likely to be mild,it is difficult to tell in the healthy population who has it,it is still the season for other viruses,if you feel unwell then take paracetamol,drink plenty of fluids,not beer and rest,keep away from everyone else andi t will be gone in a few days,in this country so far it is only bad in the vulnerable group and even then it varies,it is important to take the precautions as told and for most people it will not be really bad

All week I’ve been concerned, stay in for 12 weeks they say, who’s fucking paying me,
WOW hats fuckin off, that’s how to govern that’s how to support, that’s how to rally a nation, figure head Boris, closing down stuff then unlike trump hands the reigns to his reliables to blow my mind.
I sincerely have to say what a fuckin government.

They had no choice really mate and have still fucked the self employed and probably killed a few thousand extra with their pathetic approach to pubs and large gatherings over the last fortnight. Well done to them now though for printing some more money in a crisis, truly wonderful. What a spokesman Boris is too!

I’m personally not worried for myself (Ive run 445 days in a row!) but worry so much for my elder relatives on this one.

I know health comes first. But how long can the global economy go on with much of the global economy shutting down? At what point does it become too expensive to shut down businesses?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Pubs rammed up and down the country apparently by people having one last hurrah. THICK AS ARSEHOLES!

Are they really!? This is deflating. How much clearer do these people need it to be?

Boris has actually acted very statesmen like thus far and he has a field of actual experts in all fields making these step by step decisions.
I’d rather trust their judgment.

Never fucking happy is what the never fucking happy are, the only thing missing from that today was a round of applause

Random question.
Does corona linger in the outside air ?
So walking down a high street and could breath it in ?

I am just about to prepare a risotto with peas and asparagus accompanied by crispy home baked bread and a chilled bottle of Viognier.

Is that a hangover cure

What about the pub owners taking responsibility as well just to get that last quick buck, wankers.

Just to clarify an X-ray (or CT) won't distinguish viral or bacterial pneumonia.

The radiological features of covid-19 are non-specific and the guidelines state radiology plays no role in the diagnosis at present; just used to exclude other causes.

You're of course correct antibiotics won't help a viral infection.

Have you seen the scans that have been using in from positive patients? I will try and and find it,it is interesting

Not that they know right now, but one of the fears is it mutating into been airborne then we would truly be fucked.

Haha - walked into that one ;)

What!!!! U caught them

No it won't be floating around in the air.

It's mainly spread through close contact with others through respiratory droplets, hence the idea behind social distancing.

It can also be spread through contaminated surfaces that you touch, and then touch your face. Hence the idea behind handwashing.

Weirdo

 

[i8rags]

can anyone assist, this 3 month mortgage grace on payments, does anyone know if it applies to secured loans that are not with a hight St bank?,,,the product was sold as a 2nd mortgage

Not buy to let, is only scenario

 

[WNRH]

Why did the government announce this ‘won the lottery’ type funding tonight before closing the pubs? It seems like the entire country is on a massive piss up tonight. Without a proper lockdown in place the ramifications are gonna be felt for weeks and months.

Two weeks after the first person died China had 56 deaths and Italy 35. The UK has 144. This is madness.

Are they official statistics? How many before the first official recording?

Ah right,just keep them in isolation and take them food,that is the best place for them

These scans won't be being used to diagnose coronavirus, the findings are very non-specific and a whole host of lung pathology looks like that.

The guidance is that, currently, the scans play no role in diagnosis, and are used to exclude other pathology. (Although worth noting there are daily updates on this).

In China they used CT as a diagnosis tool when they ran out of testing kits, however this won't have been a very specific method for diagnosis of the virus, and isn't used in the UK.
