Coronavirus outbreak

[mjr]

A more optimistic expert outlook, the sort I like.

"emergency situation medication medical professional at Brigham as well as Women’s Hospital in Boston, as well as a trainer at Harvard Medical School," doesn't sound like an epidemiologist to me. The original post also includes the disclaimer that his employers don't back the opinion.

Wife emailed from her work to say she has flu. She's heading home. Hopefully just the normal variety. Time for me to work from home till it passes.

We may have our first student with the virus. A PhD student in my building. We are getting in touch with them. Worry is they will have been teaching undergraduates as well.

I'm aware of that case it's still not clear cut the weight of more reliable sources still say nothing to worry about. I like facts that are from a real source stands up to peer review.

The dog is not infected. It has virus particles in it's nose and mouth because it has been licking it's owner. This is scaremongering

Totally

I haven't been reading this thread but thought the following might be of interest.

My wife and I recently returned from Vietnam and Cambodia.

Our next door neighbour has a bad cough which developed in to a chest infection. My wife, retired medical professional, is concerned our neighbour may have pneumonia now. Our neighbour was ill before we went to Vietnam and Cambodia.

Yesterday she was refused a GP appointment on the basis she had contact with us. We returned 22 days ago, well beyond the isolation period.

Surely we should have been told to self-isolate especially if simple contact with healthy people is going to refuse others medical treatment?

Crackers.

Who refused one ? Check point Charlie or to her face a HCP? If He's sick he needs to access care pneumonia can quickly get worse.
She needs to kick off or have someone who can

Well all you can do is follow the drill and be guided my PHE. Good luck

In EK it could be absolutely anything but at least police have clarified it was a matter of "unhygienic conditions" at the patient's house.

We've followed the student up, and they have symptoms of a cold. Bless.
