COVID-19 — Coronavirus

'Ckin Ada - France stopping all freight!
All those lorries stuck on the M20.

Some advice please, Blues?

I've not been feeling 100 per cent today, don't have a temp (36.2) but have a runny nose and coughing a little to clear mucus from my throat.

Obviously my wife and son tested positive last week and I didn't, so still self-isolating for ten days.

Do I have to go and get another test, or is the self-isolation period factoring in the probability of contacting it anyway.

My symptoms started earlier this afternoon, so must I have an additional self-isolation period after the original ten days from last Wednesday?

Does my family also have to self-isolate now beyond the ten days we were all already doing?

Lose off sense of smell,and a cough are the main symptoms

This is a really serious issue, if France are stopping freight how the fuck do you turn around all them lorries?

People currently on a ventilator might respectfully disagree.

Temp as well

Why

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Why

I think their principal symptom is an inability to breathe.

 

[kippax4ever]

Temp as well

Ok,

Am I right in saying Tier 4 restrictions mean you have to work from home if you possibly can?

Partners company finish on Tuesday night until the new year and if the whole country ends up at Tier 4 by the new year I am guessing she will have to work from home. The logistics of getting all the staff set up to do so over an Xmas shut down will be a nightmare.

Forgot about temp,but the other symptoms are what I said,
If your going on about later stages if your hospitalized on a ventilator I understand the inability to breathe

One word: Cheltenham.

that and the Liverpool Atletico game were wtf moments.

The Scotland breakout was an international confrence I believe

I remember watching the press confrences and the scientists were insisting mass gatherings weren’t a risk

they were running the thing like it transmitted like Flu back then, rather than just a safety first approach

Missed out the Stereophonics gig.

The queue for the play off final tickets was absolutely fantastic. Sleeping bag, few beers and was set for the night. Everyone was buzzing.

8 hrs of queuing!

Surely they know how to get working from home up and running easily by now?

I'd get another test asap, chances are you'll be positive unfortunately mate.

I think your household also have to self-isolate another 10 days from day 1 of your symptoms (today). Boris had to self-isolate again after contact with a positive case even though he's had it.

If you did test negative again with no holy 3 symptoms (fever, dry continuous cough or loss of taste/smell) then happy days.

How soon are we likely to know whether the vaccines we have are now no longer effective?

Fella, this is the appropriate thread, here.
PS Eurotunnel now closed to passengers and freight.

There is a real sense of irresponsible reporting during the last 48 hours, but that is what Boris and these bunch of incompetent twats were counting on.

There is and always will be mutation, the scientists aren't fucking stupid, they were waiting for it and identified it straight away.

All this is just to scare the masses, enabling Boris to walk back his populist Christmas five-day grace period.

It had the further added bonus of bringing London and the South East to heel, knowing the economic blowback and a Capital population that seemingly doesn't take the existing tiers seriously enough, won't dare question a mutation.

It's classic deflection from the fuck-ups this government has achieved on a daily basis.

It has additional pay-off, evidencing to an outraged South East that the rest of the country aren't getting a free pass, either, reducing the Xmas Day regulations.

I liken it to the FFP reporting on us. They want the scariest narrative, people who aren't qualified to report and deliver the facts because it is not their area of expertise.

Exactly how I see it, if there isn’t something new to scare people into compliance then people won’t obey the rules. Not doubting the cases are going up and there is a new strain, just that it’s probably no worse than what was already out there.
