I think it's deliberately kept ambiguous because there simply isn't enough testing capacity to cope (just for NHS staff). My prediction is that this will be ramped up as will the provision of protective clothing (masks and gloves etc) which also seems in short supply. It is a shocking state of affairs and needs sorting pretty soon. NHS staff are frightened.
Which is exactly what's just been said in Parliament. Private sector resources to be used to increase testing to 25,000 a day
That is good news.
There will be an enforced lock down.I’m struggling to get my head round the huge inconsistencies. The Church is now saying it doesn’t want anyone other than immediate family from attending a funeral service, but people can still wander round a crowded supermarket.
Have to admit, I’m not being as careful as I could be.There will be an enforced lock down.
I'm still open, until I'm told to close I have to, I'm afraid until rates, rents and utilities are sorted I have to try to keep earning. I wasn't expecting to see anyone and yesterday I didn't, but today I've had a couple of customers in, one placed an order, and I've had a delivery. Both the delivery driver and the customer that ordered, when I wouldn't stand near them or sign the electronic thing, told me they thought it was being blown out of all proportion and it was no worse than flu. People will ignore it and when others see it being ignored they will too and so it will snowball, just like the panic buying.
I do wonder if I'm no better
I know you're joking but my sister works with the catering firms that do, well, whatever show/film/event they're called to, Eastenders occasionally being one, it's all contract work, it's all gig economy.
So the fit young man will recover in 5-7 days and be immune .... great news ...
........or the suicide rate, which sadly may well go up as people lose their businesses/employment.
Ah well, doomed.You did. Just back with some bread, milk and tubs of soup and ready meals. Lol. I did buy bananas
Have you read the whole thread?
But how will you know you have actually had it if not tested?Would someone explain what the obsession with testing is about .... NHS STAFF YES ... anyone else ...WHY !
If you have the symptoms you know what to do .... and 7 or 14 days later you mingle again with your new immunity ...Huzzah!
Testing is to go up from 10000 a day to 25000 a day and further .... but it's surly a light bulb test ... "congrats you've tested virus free" ... then you pick it up on the way home ....
Personally the wife and i cant wait to get it, deal with it, and move on ... with our new immunity ..
Just a thought .... in the time period from the first UK virus death to the latest death how many fatal road traffic accidents have occurred, what is the Winter Flu death rate for this winter ..... ???
And never mind the toilet rolls .... how much paraffin / bottle gas do you have for when the power goes off ???
