Coronavirus outbreak

[vickster]

At risk, though I haven't had the NHS letter yet. I don't think anybody has, though. (I have a slight feeling I've already had CV-19, caught off my daughter, just before the UK started taking this half-seriously. Fever, dry cough, no other symptoms. Similar with my daughter. Of course, this might mean that I've already had my opportunity to pass it on but that I am now immune. There's no way of knowing this for sure though.)

A friend of mine has had a text already (highest at risk group being immunosuppressed due to lymphoma, although in remission).
She was also meant to be starting a new job in the NHS next week as a psychologist working with dementia patients

Symptoms still quite mild
Same as Mrs ok. Medium grade flu

Will call 111 shortly.

On the subject of can I ride as bike looking at GCN it's noticeable cycling on your own is still being permitted in some countries which do have a lock down in force, Switzerland for example.

La Repubblica is reporting the death of a 40 yr old worker at the European Parliament.

He was an Italian citizen and worked in IT support.

Yes allowed out for exercise on your own. My sister is doing a loop that takes her about 1 hour 20 mins or so.

I've just had the text from NHS Coronavirus Service. Thought i might due to my COPD, although its often moderate, it can be severe at times.
Told do not leave my home for a minimum of 12 weeks. The only concession seems to be i can open a window !!
So at least 12 weeks of captivity and boredom living on my own. I shall go off my nut.

Do you have 12 windows? Maybe open one per week a bit like an advent calendar ?

Well i guess i could just carry on mostly what i've been doing, only going out when necessary, like getting food & beer. Plus riding my bike and start walking my dog where there's hardly anyone around.
Or comply and have to check out how to get food delivered, which is something i know nothing about.

My understanding is if you can go into the garden (if you have) and canker the 2m distance from fence , hedge and the like then it's ok.
Early morning short walks with no-one around is another option. If you do go out see someone keep your distance and what ever else wash your hand when you get back in even if in the garden.

Don't do a count down chart. It make's it feel like it even longer.

I hope you have a lot of jigsaw puzzles....

No press briefing today of course (Cobra meeting) but apparently Boris will be making a TV statement at 8:30 tonight.

Did I imagine it or listening to cheeky chappy Sara Cox while doing the washing up did I just hear her in a cheeky chappy chat with some woman in her car taking her daughter to football practice? Doesn't sound too vital or distanced to me.
