SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

[Ekkie Thump]

I was travelling 10 days ago through Istanbul airport. And you know I've been getting abdominal pain and had bouts of diarrhoea for the past 10 days. Today, I felt slightly out of breath at times. After having a shower I had a sharp pain in the right side of my chest whilst bending down to dry myself off. I also had a crackling cough today. I seem to be feeling okay now, though. I'm just wondering should I be concerned? Should I ring out of hours GP and notify them? I mean, I've been out for the whole week, going to shops, picking up prescriptions, just doing normal stuff, God knows how many people I'd have potentially infected ffs.

Might be an idea to give 111 a call and see what they say.

Here's the latest advice:

Better safe than sorry so reach out. Also, get yourself high doses of vitamin C because they are fantastic in aiding your immune system against viruses.

I'm scared to cause a scene and end up on the fecking news. I live in Northern Ireland, in a small village, last thing I want is an ambulance arriving at my door with paramedics in hazmats suits. I think I'll self isolate for couple of days and see if there are any changes. I haven't had any fever which is a good sign I suppose.

It's better to look stupid for a moment (people will naturally understand in the face of this virus that everyone is being extremely careful at all times) than later become a "super spreader" on Daily Mail.

East or west of the bann?

Better to act sooner rather than later mate as this also affects anybody you've also been in contact with if it is indeed that.

 

[Grinner]

Wow. Veneza Carnival cancelled, football cancelled and schools closed. These are pretty huge measures in Italy.

Wait till the decimations begin.

I'm banning you from the Caf, that's for damn sure.

I'm just off the phone from Northern Ireland hotline, one of the staff told me that it shouldn't be a problem (abdominal pain, diarrhoea) as I don't have a fever, cough and shortness of breath. They told me to basically carry on as normal. Fair enough. Maybe I am being overly panicky. I do have a propensity to think I'm constantly coming down with something so who knows.

I shouldn't laugh but

And go see a doctor man.
I see now you did.

If you do end up on the news, make sure to tell everyone you're a liverpool fan.

I'm glad for the update and that you're well. I've also been travelling a week or so ago and now am having the stomach issues.

That's the thing, I've already been to my local surgery, to get blood work done for unrelated issue and I've noticed signs everywhere warning people not to come in if they've travelled to China, Thailand, Philippines etc. I fear I've probably infected my whole town ffs. I'll get my windows put through.

It was just so relatable. I imagined myself in the same situation and couldn't stop laughing

Hopefully you're okay.

 

[Paxi]

The issue I have is that, the person on the other end of the phone seemed to dismiss the abdominal pain and the fact that I've been to Turkey and not Asia but the fact is, that airport has a colossal number of travelers who are getting connection flights all over the world. Anyway, she said not to worry so I shall not.

Yeah imagine Daily Mail revealing my name and calling me a super spreader when all I have is a bit of diarrhoea and a hangover.

Of course, la.

You should tell the Daily Mail then a few days later explain how it was just a really dodgy kebab. All publicity is good publicity.

 

[golden_blunder]

The Daily Mail will surely find a way to blame immigrants

Their readers will love that. I'll throw Meghan Markles name in the mix as well just to make sure I make the front page.

You really could set off a panic though. Are there any cases in Ireland?

Not that I know of. I did take a coach from Dublin airport to Lisburn though. There could be a clear trail left here.

To be fair, there doesn't seem to be any indication that stomach cramp and diarrhoea are symptoms, so I'm going to remain positive too.

 

[Moiraine]

We eat bats in indonesia. Not me but some do

Japanese eat eels. Snakes. Etc.

It just happens, this time it's bat, last time it's swine, sars was poultry?

Nothing wrong with eating animals. For covid to happen took more than eating bats

There's an irony somewhere in this...

just wow...

 

[Utdstar01]

There's a lot of unknown with the virus still, so god knows if people's symptoms differ from person to person. There's not a great deal of info on the nhs page.

 

[Dumbstar]

Of course, la.

Welcome to the light side paddywan. :P

 

[Rhyme Animal]

This video is really weird...there was a full simulation event in November about Coronavirus funded by Bill Gates and focusing on the economic effects of such an outbreak... apparently Gates owns the patent for vaccines or something? I'm not too sure, it's all very bizarre.

The comments section is full of conspiracy type folk predictably, but the event itself and vid is very, very odd.

There were some cases where upset stomach and diarrhoea were reported as symptoms.

It was good knowing you.

In all seriousness, if this is a pandemic, like some say, then it's quite probable that someone on the caf could conceivably contract it, unfortunately.

It is a Pandemic, and if it continues as it's going, I'd imagine many people on Redcafe will defo get it, sadly.

Does this mean we'll have to stop shitting in the shower?

Sounds like Nora virus, a common stomach bug that has been doing the rounds,you will be fine.

Or I could be wrong and you could be dying, your better asking a doctor than random people on red cafe.

Hmm.. well we're all dying aren't we?
...and yes, I did call the helpline and I was told not to worry.

Maybe Bruno will change his penalty taking technique.
