I work for the health service, part of the logistics division and this situation is going to lead me to say something I never expected to pass my lips. Thank Feck for Brexit. We have been stockpiling supplies in preparation for the economic fall out of Brexit, a headache, but without that we would be proper fecked in short order.
Strange world these days.
Strange world these days.
Yep, that is true. I think everyone who is infected should probably continue self-quarantine (and be careful) for another week or so after testing negative to the infection.
That just made me laugh.
At least the comedy sketches around the issue bring a better feeling in people's minds, it's a natural reaction.Ah shit, hope you stay safe.
Cheers. One of my brothers is disabled and my mum is his only carer for 90% of the time. Luckily she is only in her late 40's(Thats Irish catholics for you)but if she ended up being sick, it wouldn't be great at all.
Got the board game Secret Hitler for christmas, so if things do south then I'll being spending most of my time accusing people of been Nazi's. Which is at least something a bit different.Oh and buy a poker set if you don't have one because it'll be a good way of using time up.
No problem mate. Happens to us all.
There is no scientific evidence to support that yet, at the moment just a working hypothesis. And they mention ibuprofen specifically and not all NSAIDs in general.
You can read about it here:

Don't think this is official advice, but they were interviewing a doctor on Sky News a couple of days ago and the only medication they mentioned was paracetamol. No NSAIDs were spoken about either to take or not.
So Trump has admitted to taking the test, despite his physician saying yesterday that he doesn't need to be put in isolation or have the test at all because he said it was low risk. At this point, it's a good chance that he has it, right? With the people he's met.
Something very similar happened to me from the end of February, and has only gotten better for the past few days. Everyone in my house had it too (I was the last to get it). For the record, I hardly ever get cold/flu, and I even (lowkey) bragged about it in here last year:
Mistake. I meant 15. Still too much though.25 a day.A lot of cigarettes man.
in the spirit of whats going on ive been watching films like 28 days later, and last night Contagion, which is about 10 years old. They made a film 10 years ago about what is happening now and how it spread
True. It can happen sometimes, though. Does she usually get the flu jab? I found the first time I got it I did come down with heavy case of flu a few weeks later but since then it's worked flawlessly.
I thought the flu jab only worked for a few strains which they believed would be the most problematic for that season, so it was still possible to catch a flu from other strains?
Yeah there's that, too. It's probably what happened to me. Though it seems a bit odd that it only happened once in 15 years.
He‘s a known germaphobe so I’d guess he hand washes and uses gels a lot so there’s a good chance he’s OK too.
Yesterday I watched Contagion as well. Good flick, but felt a bit docu-techno-thriller-ish. Real as feck though.
Even if he has it, he won't admit it, will he?
Seems unlikely, unless he gets pretty ill.
It will leak. Also, if he doesn't self quarantine his staff (at least those with a brain) will refuse to be near him.
Is it that strange? As far as I can remember I have never had the flu.
Is there no update on new cases today then? Or have I missed it? Can only see they've announced more deaths.
Can someone remind me, how long is Italy in lockdown for?
I doubt there's an end in sight right now.
In reality, a long time yet. We're looking at months, probably.
Wuhan is still in lockdown at the moment.
Interesting to see apple on lockdown. Interesting to see if some other retailers take the same route.
Since 2005 I get a flu shot every year. The only time it didn't seem to work was the first time. Seems a bit strange, yeah.
Italy 21K infected (+3000 new) and 1440 deaths (+175) still a week away to see the lockdown effects. Maybe started to late...
Is it just uk and USA doing this hoarding?
Peruvians were stocking up on toilet rolls etc but it was only like a pack each even though there's no limit.
Maybe Peruvians aren't selfish. Simple.
More bad news again from Italy.
What else? Don't go to the toilet or eat either? People can do what they can but you if you have a family then you will still be isolating with them around.
Other euro games were behind closed doors, same evening as the Anfield game City - Arsenal was cancelled for precautionary measures. They completley let it slip through the net
It's a bit hit and miss. Not everyone in the 20 person Brazilian delegation that travelled to the US tested positive. Even if you assume they lied about the Brazilian president's test being negative, the rest of the people have been a mix of positive and negative tests. So you can't count on it 100%.
3.5k new cases in Italy today. An increase of 40% from yesterday.
Can someone help me, did I just read that there is 1500 new cases in Spain?
Classic Northern Ireland.
Thanks both. I wasn't sure if it was just a 2/3 week thing which only makes sense if the whole world does it somehow
