This from a woman in Halifax who has posted publicly on Facebook. Assuming it is not fake news, it's quite encouraging for anyone who is concerned given this woman's underlying conditions.

I have corona virus, i want to tell everyone about it because everyone is panicking! Don't! Its the media blowing everything up out of proportion again! I want to explain exactly what the symptoms are, if you remember years ago flu was killing people so they gave flu Jabs to vulnerable people like the disabled and elderly, this virus is not as bad as flu its like hay fever and a bad cold, you cough and have bad flem on your chest, the worst thing about it is the high temperature, my eyes steam and my nose i have a sore throat but its not bad and headache and muscle ache, this virus is getting blown out of proportion and its absurd how people are buying things and the shops are empty! I wouldn't even have called the doctor if i didn't have such a high temperature, there will be millions of people who have this and don't even know about it, because its not as bad as flu and flu still kills more people'! The doctors told me to call 111 then i was accessed over the phone with them and transferred to a nurse who explained what i should do! Which was basically nothing but stay away from everyone and isolate myself, some of you will probably already have it and not even know that's how bad it is, and there's only people dying of it who are already sick or elderly and would die with a bad cold anyway which this isn't even a bad cold! This is my second day now and i feel tired but my symptoms aren't like yesterday, so please don't be panicking and listening to bloody media ok my son and his wife were with me yesterday and they had the symptoms last night so it spreads very very fast, i have chronic lung disease thrombosis psyaticah ptsd and other serious disabilities and my breathing was greatly affected by the virus but i have had much worse symptoms with flu, i don't go out anyway and haven't been out for a few weeks the only place i went 3 days ago where i must have caught the virus was when i went shopping in asda! But like I've said this virus spreads very very fast! LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Coronavirus toilet paper stockpiling frenzy ignores our long history without the soft stuff

https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-15/...y/12054636

Dr Hayes said toilet paper used to be sold from behind the counter at chemists — although it was advertised as an improvement in hygiene, there was an element of embarrassment over being seen purchasing it. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

A few things about the piece posted above by The Doc suggest it should be taken with a pinch of salt...

There is no indication that the individual has had a confirmed diagnosis and at this stage it is still statistically more likely, at the individual level, to have a cold or flu than COVID-19.

The descriptions of the symptoms seem to include a lot of upper respiratory tract involvement, which is different from most other descriptions of the early phase of COVID-19.

The individual is saying “nothing to worry about” but is only at Day 3. Most descriptions talk about two or three stages of disease, with the onset of the worst, pneumonia phase often being at days 10-14. 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

That’ll be the official enquiry line  Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

Our Son and family just had a few days at Centre Parks during their return he got a text message saying his job/workplace has been deemed a v.high risk area......he is a doctor in A&E (they have had several positive walk ins this week)........his wife and two kiddlewinks will be coming down to stay with us for the foreseeable future as they consider it too much of a risk to be in the same house.......and when her company heard they said she could now work from home, she has been asking to work two days a week from home for months (nothing to do with COVID19)......now they agree!

Yes indeed things are starting to get very real. Regards

This is an interesting explanation about timing of quarantine:

Well presented
Must confess to having been a little in the dark about the Delay and Containment phases until the medical and scientific guys explained it all at that recent press conference; what they were hoping to achieve with having those separate phases made full sense. Not sure why there's so many other 'experts' needing to put forward there own theories, let the true experts make the decisions. UK numbers are very low compared to elsewhere so can't be doing it that wrong

The moronic stupidity continues.

Fuel stations all over Leamington this morning are rammed with queues out onto the roads. Another stupid bloody Arsebook rumour that has perpetuated thanks to the sheep that use Soshulllll Meeeeddyaa. Unless I have missed it, has there been any official announcement about fuel shortages? No, thought not.....

The fools? How could they fall for that one?

Don’t they understand that the real shortage is going to be in paper clips? Buy now, before the shelves are empty! Imagine a week quarantine with insufficient paper clips...

Or was in corn plasters?

If there is a myth that there will be a shortage of chickens, would chicken george become a mill-yo-naire overnight one wonders?
