Coronavirus outbreak

[Julia9054]

It's lucky I'm still alive working at a University. Some disgusting folk about, staff and students. Two bouts of nasty illness since October means I'm getting jabs next year.

Having worked in the same school for 16 years and having been exposed to all the local viruses, I have the immune system of an ox!

Don't what the NHS is playing at - they haven't even got a leaflet to hand out yet. We don't need anti virals and vaccinations - we need leaflets !!!!

Totally agree - I work in hospital so good hygiene is ingrained.
Where I disagree that this is causing more fatalities than coronavirus over the next 12 months or so.

I agree re fatalities. My point, possibly not made well, was one has more chance of catching many infections because of poor hand hygiene than Coronavirus.

Just remember Ox tail and soup. It didn't end well.

Just been renamed to Covid19

We have put hygiene posters up in school and sent an email to parents.
One of my year 10 pupils said “Miss, that email said you have to come to school even if you get the corona virus“
This is what it actually said

To be fair to the kid, the memo could have been better worded

No, just expendable

Could be the new film in the Expendables franchise staring Sylvester Stallone.

Graffitied class poster.
Wasn’t me - but I wish I’d thought of it!

First case from London

Last think I heard was that two prisoners were tested and found negative. Have you a link?

Don't know if there's any angle to your post.

Inevitable that someone would "come down" with it, however serious the effects turn out to be, in London.

Bye the bye, how long before it's dubbed "the valentine's day killer"?

Kissing and hugging apparently best avoided and more of a threat than the odd sneeze.

Always possible of course that some folk might desert the tube in favour of cycling.

Difficult choice, catch Coronavirus, or, be squashed by an HGV
