Christ, they really don’t give a feck and their parents aren’t any better. We closed schools for this, throw them back in.
NHS daily correspondence to the vulnerable group is now advising to stock up on dried goods and to get a bag ready in case you’re admitted to hospital.
She should have stated she's a nurse and then coughed back
the message i got was Jennifer-14. he's keeping busy!
Those scrotey teens are going to do that to the wrong person and get an almighty beating.
Or that's what I'm hoping happens.

I overheard two guys today wondering if you can get coronavirus if you wear a condom. And they weren't joking.
Hi wondering if anyone can help. I suffer from Asthma and have discussed with work having 12 weeks of isolation which has been agreed. The role I work can and has been covered. I rang my GP for a sick note to cover this but was told to ring 111. Im struggling to get through and as they are obviously so busy am not wanting to take up there time if i don't need to. I can see a form for a 2 week self isolation note online but does anyone have any suggestions for the 12 weeks or have dealt with this themselves?
Don't know about you but I'm sitting on the fecking throne as I type this...
Have you had the letter stating you have been identified as vulnerable?
I haven't had anything yet and I'm on two immunosuppressants, so I'm kind of expecting one. I was hoping there'd be some sort of advice on that correspondence.
I'm surprised your GP can't do this for you, even if it's just a rolling sick note to cover the 12 weeks. I wouldnt have thought a sicknote would come from anyone at 111, but I might be wrong.
GPs seem to be totally in the dark about everything right now, to be fair.
Prostitute's earnings must have been hit very hard by all this. I hope the government is going to pay 80% of their average income.
But that wasn't a joke...
Cheers mate. This is a good site

Some light at the end of the tunnel?
Theres (hopefully) hundreds of thousands of asymptomatic people and people who've already recovered with mild cases. Hopefully in a few weeks time we have enough people in these categories who can emerge from the lockdown situation and restart society. It would be tricky to prove you're "clean" unless we try what the Chinese did and somehow link it with an app or something.
I know for me personally, living in London I've probably been exposed to it. My flatmate had a severe flu a couple of weeks back and I'm pretty sure he coughed enough in the common areas to make sure I got it a hundred times over. However I luckily have absolutely no symptoms of the cold/flu. I found it odd because if it was a normal flu, I probably would have caught it from him.

I haven't yet mate no. Rang 111 and have been told I could be waiting up to an hour when I don't think its likely I will be getting one. Im surprised myself GP's aren't doing me one, especially seeing as me and the other person I live with are both vulnerable.
hopefully we get one over the next couple of days
Because there is no pressing need to do that. The idea is to reduce the time spent outside as much as possible.
Seems as bad as the teens (and grownups) who are licking stuff in supermarkets in US for the kicks and tiktok videos.
An hour of activity a day. That's important for wellbeing.
Thank you for that it's nice to see some form of progress.
No it doesn't. It's one thing to be stupid and put yourself at risk, quite another to basically assault another person for laughs.
Although the supermarket stuff is super cnutish, you can wash the products when you get home.
Had two electricians in today, he called me beforehand and said I had to stand in another room until they were finished for sanitation reasons.
Weird experience as am quite friendly I never even really seen what they looked like.

The latest global supply shortage being urgently discussed in hospitals right now is the possibility of running out of oxygen. FFS.
Hope you counted the family silver after they left!
That sounds awful. Sometimes you concentrate so much on the pure numbers and data and graphs, you forget about the human side of it. That's why that Tweet stopped me in my tracks.
Yes indeed its the only thing that makes me feel optimistic. Especially because it would give a massive boost to the NHS as well. I know they've set up a volunteer service, so this would be invaluable for that, especially those coming in contact with elderly and vulnerable members of society.
It will solve a lot of problems in tracing hotspots as well. Its just a no brainer really, this should be available for every man, woman and child in the nation by the next couple of months.
I wish I had family silver to count..
Well how is it done? I wondered about 100 pages back if SCUBA shops can do it with their compressors. But I'm expecting that the oxygen contents are different.
And me. It was nicked years ago.
That's the day I'd be quarantined in a jail.
It's certainly very good news for care and NHS workers.
For the general public it's probably too soon to make much of a difference. It'll be interesting as we'll still need social distancing for a while, but if you've had it then it won't apply? You almost need some proper certification to allow you to go freely.
Just saw that the first under-18 death from Covid-19 in the US has happened.
Somebody call Jerry, tell him Gawd is on the line.
Alcoholics will suffer serious consequences requiring significant medical intervention if they suddenly stop consuming alcohol. Keeping access to this stuff available is actually very considerate.
Two baldy electricians but any chance?
If this is accurate then feck these assholes.
