Have you, or anybody you know, got the virus yet?

Please don't actually reply explaining that, but I'm still genuinely clueless.

Ahh, I must have a disgusting mind because I was thinking up some weird shit.

I’m not 100% but I think I’ve got it. I have all the symptoms. But I can’t get tested, so I’ve been self isolating and working from home

Have you taken your temperature? That is an easy indicator you can do yourself?

So if 30,000 have it and only 10 have died (sadly) that means it is not that bad? I honestly think tens and tens of thousands have it or have had it and it has been around for weeks.

Not really, the death rate in Italy is over 5% even if it's 30,000 that's not many spread over a large area as the numbers climb the death rate will

Make sure you drink plenty of fluids,not beer as that dehydrates you,unlikely you will be able to get paracetamol but ibrufen or panadol will do,take it every 4hrs and rest

Anyone know the best kind of thermometer to get to take temp at home?

Don't waste your money on the strips that go on your forehead,get any one that goes under your tongue,the cheapest one will do,if you can't get one feel your forehead with the back of your hand,if you feel really warm chances are you have a bit of a temperature,as above drink plenty,any kind of painkiller will help,the old fashioned wet flannel on your forehead will help
