Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
I’ve enlisted as one of the 250,000 volunteers the NHS needs, as a driver. We’ll see if they need me.

There are a few police out this way, which is pretty unusual. Did get a few looks while out on my daily run.duke63 wrote:Police drone circling overhead on the roads by home.

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
Crap. Hopefully it's just a cold.
Let me know if you get any more symptoms. I know we kept our distance as well as keeping our lids and gloves on but all the same, I'll have to let my family know.

Have you got any other symptoms, like the loss of taste and smell and the high temp?

They tell you not to get checked. There's no testing here. Unless you're rich or a royal.D41 wrote:

When did your symptoms start? I'm just wondering if I need to take steps to isolate myself. I've not been out of the house since Sunday so I've only come into contact with my family.

That does sound like Covid. I watched a video of a girl who had recovered yesterday and she said it was like having a lungful of glass.Perkles wrote:,fatigue,dizzy ,temperature ,chest feels like sombody has taken a cheesegrater to it ,cant stop coughing ,shortness breath thats itKwacky wrote:Have you got any other symptoms, like the loss of taste and smell and the high temp?

Shit Perkles, don’t be a hero mate, get attention if you need too
After all the health issues you went through I’m guessing your immune system isn’t the best.

Jess’ elderly uncle thought he had caught COVID, but somehow he’s got Swine Flu of all things

Re: Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?
Perkles is right in what he's saying, they don't want to test people. It's probably why our figures are looking so much better.
They say "worse" but won't offer any advice on what that is. Is it, "I coughed 1 time more today", or, "I just died". There's a massive area in the middle but both are worse.

Worryingly I saw on the news last night some NHS trusts are canceling cancer operations and chemotherapy treatment.
Must be horrendously distressing for cancer patients.
