COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Vic]

I'd advise caution: you're in closer daily contact with people than most. You could transmit to the NHS or bring back from the NHS and transmit to the children then onto parents etc and the whole thing escalates. I know school pupil numbers are generally low (we had 17 in Monday which dwindled rapidly to 6 then two as the week progressed) but we have to do absolutely everything we can to minimise "cross-contamination". But I understand your dilemma. If you know you've already had it, then that's a different matter of course: volunteer away.

Volunteer for the "chatline" option from your home.

Really? By that same notion should we be doing that with all the shopping we are bringing into the house?

To be honest we have been handling deliveries, including shopping, wearing latex gloves until wiped down with anti-septic wipes.

The UK death rate per case requiring medical intervention is fucking horrendous.

It's always going to be if you only test people who need medical intervention.

Good luck BB, stay safe we don't want to lose any blues

Thanks mate, you too. I am not worried for myself, guess I'd be fine, but wife and parents are in risk groups.

I don’t think so.

I’m glad they said “if you carry on here we are looking at 200k deaths”.

You don't have a clue if it's helping though.

Do you know who does? The people with all the figures about testing numbers, hospitalisations, ICU bed capacity etc.
