Thanks for the reply.
Brightened a dull skyed (so ride off) morn.
Maybe this place is getting nicer. (As in even nicer)
What are the cases in Sheffield?
I know a lot of things are going on way out of sheffield in mecborough at a GP surgery. Also a school where a parent of a pupil tested positive.

People are still stockpiling pasta and bog roll here. Seriously: we've had 400 known cases in just over two months, which means probably lots more where symptoms were so mild that people didn't notice anything, and where they thought it was a common cold and carried on as normal. The biggest problem we have at the moment due to Covid-19 is shortages of toilet paper and pasta.
As of yesterday, no-one has died in Germany. In the same time going on the general average, at least 600 people were killed by cars in the country and no-one thinks twice about it.

A Scottish gp has locked down his surgery and doing phone consults. Will unlock for single patients then thorough clean after each patient. Even handing out prescriptions through a window and telling patients to leave them in their car for a few hours before handling them.....it’s getting a bit crazy!
No not sheffield your safe for now

Off to the football today where the players have been told not to shake hands.
I'll be sitting in close confines with 4000 or so people for two hours, chatting, eating, laughing, singing.....*

The sad reality is that a small number of the medics in various jobs in surgeries and particularly hospitals directly treating those infected may be very rarely among those who get serious complications or die from this coronavirus.
If it's one of the doctors that still has the practice of being a dispensing doctors that makes sense taking extra precautions.
Maybe the Doctor has OCD. Some of them will. I know two people with OCD who have said they might lock themselves away for 2-3 months.
Maybe the GP is aware the UK cases are about to start jumping quite rapidly in the UK if compared to other countries.
Really FFS...I’d be moving GP if he can’t read simple facts over this. What other knowledge is he lacking?

It’s in an area with a predominately elderly population which I think is his main concern which I suppose is sensible.
It's difficult. The runaway cases in Italy there are more stats on that and the average age to have died is 81 years old out of 200 patients

I suspect it is mainly to do with the elderly population in the area. Maybe he feels it is better to be overly cautious.

That maybe the case the problem is the message it sends out. As well as a professional responsible for the care he gives. He also has one to prevent panic.
