It depends on your age, general health and whether you are equipped for possibly staying in Morocco for an extended time.Going to Morocco Wednesday, I don’t know whether to go or not.

That’s it isn’t it, I’d be fine and if I got stuck in Morocco for a few more weeks would probably be okay financially.It depends on your age, general health and whether you are equipped for possibly staying in Morocco for an extended time.
Just bare in mind that even fit and healthy people can need hospitalisation from this albeit at a lower rate. I'm not sure I'd want to end up in that state out there.That’s it isn’t it, I’d be fine and if I got stuck in Morocco for a few more weeks would probably be okay financially.
The borders are currently open to the UK, however they just closed to a number of European countries, so there’s a good chance if I go I am stuck there.
Currently on hold examining if I can get a refund.
Right @Amar__ last night, the Danish governments OWN experts on this stated clearly that shutting down the country was NOT advised by them and was purely political. That good enough for you?Wtf? Who exactly told you that?
There are many so called experts who have different opinions.
How will elderly people get food if they're staying at home, especially as many don't use the internet?And now, as I've been arguing all week it appears the UK is about to make another sound, scientific based request:
Much better we do everything possible to isolate those with the highest risk, those with medical conditions should be allowed to be off work on full pay and we should pander to their every need. No point all of us going into isolation at this point.
Thanks mate! I will see what the flight people say to me and take their advice.Just bare in mind that even fit and healthy people can need hospitalisation from this albeit at a lower rate. I'm not sure I'd want to end up in that state out there.
Lovely place though Morocco so enjoy if you do go!
See the part of my post you quoted where I posted:How will elderly people get food if they're staying at home, especially as many don't use the internet?
Not on these interviews he certainly doesn't. He spends nearly all the air time not talking about it and mentions that closures are in the tool kit.Vallance when on Sky News and spent the entire time speaking about herd immunity. He barely spoke about any other measures.
But yeah bigotry and political.....
He could have done better for sure but these medias are looking for sensational headlines. The actual information has been in the public arena all the time.UK communicated it terribly though, hardly a surprise when you have Boris as a leader.

Going to have to rely on their family and/or neighbours. The entire care sector in this country will collapse within a few weeks of this starting with most of the staff needing to stay home to look after young kids when the schools close. I work in the sector and honestly this is going to be a total shit show.How will elderly people get food if they're staying at home, especially as many don't use the internet?
Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't sure if by lowering the body's temperature it could somehow prolong the duration of the virus or cause other complications. I'm not a great sufferer so it's good to know I can use it!I wouldn't say they are contradicting themselves.
NSH: Paracetamol treats fever symptom
Campbell: Fever, if mild, can be beneficcial (special in the early stages) of infection because it's an immune response
Both are true. In the end, it's up the patient whether or not he wants to treat fever, if it's mild.
I personally would recommend it to anyone who feels down because of it, no nees to go through difficult symptoms based in some immunologic theory , which, being probably true, has little practical value.
We're in a similar predicament with a month long trip coming up at the end of April.That’s it isn’t it, I’d be fine and if I got stuck in Morocco for a few more weeks would probably be okay financially.

To be fair, after the live interview, Sky repeatedly ran the herd 60% part for the rest of the day, as the only clip.I guess some people hear what they want to hear.
I heard him talk about worst case scenarios, herd immunity, delay phase, closing schools, events etc. Most importantly I heard him talk about how important timing was with all of this and that it is all based on hard scientific evidence.
Smores just heard "herd-immunity" though.
The public will eventually.Who paid for all this quarantines?
Exactly this, I don’t want to lose lots of money.We're in a similar predicament with a month long trip coming up at the end of April.
I'm pretty certain as things stand we can't get any refund, as there are no travel restrictions to the destinations.
Yes. But as in you're forced for staying onboard of the cruise for 2 more weeks?The public will eventually.
TL/CV (too long, caught virus)A very good post that is circulating on Facebook right now (I don't agree with hoarding food for 2 months but everything else is spot on):
Similar situation to you mate, just further away. Off to Japan for 3 weeks 1st April for our honeymoon travelling. If it was next week we’d be fine, so long means it can all change drastically with borders etcThanks mate! I will see what the flight people say to me and take their advice.
I'd ask your insurer that. Travel is probably a bad idea right now.Yes. But as in you're forced for staying onboard of the cruise for 2 more weeks?
If i arrive in singapore as a tourist and got tested positive. Would i need to pay for the hospital bills or quarantine cost of foods etc.?
My partner is a carer and she’s also heavily asthmatic, chest infections hit her really hard. Safe to say she’s pretty worried at the momentGoing to have to rely on their family and/or neighbours.

No exactly, I know life / death is more important, of course it is. But we've been planning this so long, it's cost a fortune (to us at least), we timed it to coincide with my wife changing jobs too, as she'd never normally get this amount of time off.Exactly this, I don’t want to lose lots of money.
this is 2020, we should all greet each other the way they do in Wakanda.Tweet

Yep and my travel insurance won’t cover until the government says I can’t travel.No exactly, I know life / death is more important, of course it is.

From what I've looked into so far though, no one we've booked with is willing to give a refund as there are no restrictions in place.
I don’t think the WHO and our experts are right or wrong, I think they start from differing assumptions and the strategies follow from that. It seems like the UK approach is designed to accommodate a re emergence of the virus, where the WHOs perhaps expects all the stuff China etc did, would be done again... which might be as seemingly unrealistic in its way as some people are accusing the UK of being. We will see.It's not that stupid when other countries, experts, modelling and the WHO are following an approach that suggests that the UK's experts are wrong. Assuming that your country's experts are right just because they happen to be from your country would hardly be evidence of robust thinking.
No exactly, will be the same for most I would think.Yep and my travel insurance won’t cover until the government says I can’t travel.

Ah, ok.To be fair, after the live interview, Sky repeatedly ran the herd 60% part for the rest of the day, as the only clip.
That seems like a very sensible, practical and manageable idea.this is 2020, we should all greet each other the way they do in Wakanda.
here in Nova Scotia, there are zero cases, the only province in Canada without one. In a place called cape breton, they have designated an hour in the mornings that seniors can go to the grocery store without anyone else present and right after the store has been completely wiped down and sanitized.
One sneeze and they are all in trouble.Tweet

Indeed, but the media in general need to be reporting more responsibly I feel. The Guardian's coverage is comprehensive, but they keep interspersing it with political snipes. It's not necessary at the moment.Ah, ok.
Makes sense then as that’s all most people will ever listen to.
