COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Even once we've dealt with the virus it's hard to see how the global economy won't be many times more fucked than it was in 2008.

One thing they could do is pump some extra bodies into the supermarkets - try getting a delivery or click and collect at your local Tesco in the next couple of weeks. If the Government advice is to be followed its these practical things that need to be available. Extra bodies - students, older school kids, packing orders. Why not? There should be a special service for those self isolating or in lockdown.

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.

The wife has

I have had a hard to shift cough and have been very 'phlegmy' for a few weeks, since the end of Jan maybe. There are 2 strains doing the rounds, a good cop and a bad cop. maybe we have had the good cop?

Either way I am pontificating above my pay grade.

Same here bud, scratchy throat and has turned into a hard to shift cough for about three weeks but no other symptoms. Coughing isn't continuous for an hour, on three separate occasions for 24 hours, as per the current 111 advice.

Zero temperature and decent appetite.

The fact I have had it for a while, our BM medical experts have assured me I am all good ;)

I think the effects of all the closures , people not being able to work will quite possibly be as catastrophic as the bloody virus It’s the poorer that will suffer first and most !

If posters don’t think the same way as you their always wrong and your right, if he feels the thread is becoming scare mongering why can’t he express his opinions

First, you’ve not pointed out where I have belittled anyone, so I think it is fair to say your original assertion was not accurate.

Second, I didn’t say he couldn’t post however he liked, I was indicating why I thought his post was not needed, misguided and unhelpful. Which is my right based on your stance.

You seem to just dislike my posts in here given your previous posts about and to me, to be honest, and there’s not much I can do about that other then challenge your inaccurate statements directly via civil discourse, as I am now.

all evictions banned for three months

I suppose though the landlord can say that you need to prove it or I’m evicting you as soon as this is over.

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.

Good point mate.

And I’m sure my sister and step dad, who live with my mum, would have it by now if it was.

Italy has had its highest number of deaths from coronavirus in a day with 475 more fatalities.

The deaths - an increase of 19% in the last 24 hours - brings the country's total to 2,978.

Italy also had a large rise in coronavirus cases, with 4,207 confirmed on Wednesday, bringing the total to 35,713, the Civil Protection Agency said

The hardest hit nation outside China has been on total lockdown since 9 March.

It is fast approaching the number of people who have died in China, which as of Wednesday was 3,241 - although at 81,102 China has far more confirmed cases

Experts are warning the peak of the spread may not arrive until mid-April in the north, so far the country's hardest hit area, and possibly later in other regions.

"Citizens must know that this is not about changing their lifestyle just for one or two weeks," said the head of the Italian national centre for epidemiology, Stefania Salmaso
