COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[twosips]

Yeah that sounds promising. Here's hoping. An effective safe treatment, not even a vaccine, could be a game changer in all of this.

Could be huge. Only problem is the whole world would suddenly want it so it could be many many many months too.

The more we learn the more terrifying this thing is

Yes it makes you wonder if it is a natural virus jump at all or as suspected a doctored version of the virus that has come from the lab in Wuhan, either accidentally or otherwise.

With all the spare beds in care homes but the same overheads, how long can care homes be viable?

(I am assuming homes with Covid cases are not admitting new residents. )

Certainly any chemo or radio therapy attacks the immune system so your choice of surgery was wise.
I spoke recently to a friend who had surgery and he said keyhole now makes it much less of a problem, in my case my age made surgery more of a risk .

Fully recovered white cells now and psa well below 1 so with a certain amount of confidence all will be ok when I make the long trip to Almeria Hospital for 6 monthly checkup but you never know with cancer.

Incidentally, just read that our individual mask price has been maximised at 96cents by the Government even though they are in very limited supply in the shops.

Good news on the low PSA blue.

Sensible move by the Government on fixing the price.

What have you learnt now?

 

[George Hannah]

Currys stores are now closed so online refunds by voucher are no longer possible and consequently they will only honour cash refunds with cheques - forcing their self isolating vulnerable customers to visit a bank to pay them in. How very considerate.

Went to B&Q today overheard people saying certain shops are no refusing to take things back for refunds even within 28 day period as it maybe infected, even if that is defected etc.

 

[paulchapo]

There are a fair few saying similar but I have no idea if there is any substance in it. Everything has a conspiracy attached these days.

My place of work (manufacturing) has text staff (should have written) informing everyone we are reopening on Monday and furlough is being stopped. Staff I am in touch with are a bit pissed because the company has not paid out any monies for furlough so we don’t even know if they put us on the scheme, they will not answer the question with confirmation.

They have also not told us how they intend to implement safe working. It seems a few businesses are returning next week. A fair few cars on the road today. I think we may get our herd immunity after all.

how long have you been furloughed? Has to be a min of 21 days.

Currys stores are now closed so online refunds by voucher are no longer possible and consequently they will only honour cash refunds with cheques - forcing their self isolating vulnerable customers to visit a bank to pay them in. How very considerate.

Think they will be open soon, but even so most banking apps can now deal with cheques.

Blue, being a biker I have several bandanas that I use round my neck whilst riding. If I used one of these to cover my mouth and nose while out and about, would you advocate washing it everytime I've used it? I'm guessing so, genuine question mate

Yes. Take it off when you get home and put it in the washing machine (or under a 40W UV ozone emitting lamp for 45 mins). Then thoroughly wash you hands.

Great, thanks for that.
Appreciate it

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Great, thanks for that.

70 degree wash too to denature any enzymes lurking on them.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Great, thanks for that.

Make sure it's on a hotwash though
