I reckon the lock down we will see implemented tonight will be the London Boroughs.
Im not sure - think they might go the whole way and say all non key workers Uk wide are locked down other than pharmacy and food (probably with police manning the supermarkets)
Look at snowdownia etc - think they will lock down the lot for 2 weeks (which will turn into at least 6 - probably more)

How are the police going to staff supermarkets?

I get chronic sinusitis and my taste and smell are nearly always reduced with an attack making them disappear completely. Seems a normal symptom that one might have with this.
I constantly have rhinitis, most of Covid19 symptoms are part of what I will experience around this time of the year. It makes me particularly anxious. :lol:

Italian government is happy in today's press conference, up to 63927 cases and 6077 deaths, but it's the first day since the outbreak began where new cases have shown a downward trend over 3 days.


edit: and unions again showing why they should all be abolished. Strikes ongoing across the country today because the government closed all non essential business to fight the virus.

No, it's not, but the symptoms are basically the same.. Have you ever actually had the flu?!
Sure it is the same. Unless you get a bad dose of pneumonia and then realise you have no medical aid because there is no hospital space.

There will be a lot of people who will die from flu this year as well, since coronavirus patients are taking up all the hospital beds.

So bottom line is this: Stay healthy, don't get corona, don't get the flu, don't even have an infection because there is no guarantee you will get the medical help you need.

Any flu can give you pneumonia... And the symptoms are basically that of the flu. It's not terrifying. Describing the symptoms as terrifying is silly. The conversation was about nothing more than just that.

Anyone else got this channel on their telly? No idea where it came from or who's in charge of it. They're playing relaxing music but every time there's an update they're using something resembling the 24 theme song :lol:
Italy, Spain and Irans death rate becomes even crazier if you compare theirs to the others. Seems down to a lot of testing in the other countries (even US).

From allergies? Look into SLIT if so.

And those with pneumonia generally die without medical help, regardless of flu or coronavirus.

You are assuming that you will get a ventilator if you contract this virus (or flu for that matter) at peak and are unlucky enough to be affected severely. That is a bad assumption to make.

I’m not sure. Was anything said about them in the bill going through parliament today?
They don't have any powers of arrest and the bill doesn't give them any from what I've seen. The military won't be used in any role in that capacity. Far too oppressive. They are usually used as support staff so you could maybe go down that route. The logistics of putting police officers at every supermarket simply isn't possible though. Crime hasn't gone anywhere during all of this. There's still 999 calls and actually an increase in domestic related matters given isolation.

Depends if you actually watched the video and listened to what the healthy, 30 year old guy said - struggling intensely to breathe etc.
Sounds a lot like when I had the flu as a healthy 25 year old... Literally the only time in my adult life I went to see the doctor (who told me to go home and stop complaining).

I take that as a daily decrease of new cases at 14%. If they can keep that up, that would be some achievement but it still looks awfully grim. It'll have them at 80k cases by the 29th and 90k by the 8th of April. To get below 100 new cases per day (ala China) it will take until the 18th of April at the current rate.
