This is just the start of many more viruses as more people become immune to antibiotics, sad times ahead for all.

My point was as people become more immune to antibiotics and more viruses mutate and crop up, its doesn't bode well for survival rates overall

Apologies for being condescending. Why would you know the difference between resistance and immunity, bacteria and viruses . . . . I know jack shit about you job. And sadly GPs have been dishing out antibiotics for viral infections since I was at school in the 60s and they bloody well should know. If they don't get it why should you? Sometmes it is easy to lose perspective.

People don't become immune to Antibiotics it's the bacteria that infect us that do!

Can we get this man as part of Boris's scientific advisers team.

I'd do it, but only if I'm allowed three free goes at kicking him, hard, in the bollocks. Fact.

Take note, people. The above is not political point scoring designed to fuel an insurrection and a Corbyn government.

It is derision for the total lack of any offer of help, or reassurance that, in a week, there will be help, for those who are apparently going to be banned from attempting to shop at their produce-lite supermarkets, the old, the alone, the frightened.

The *****.

Indeed.

This is not ‘party political’, it’s calling out an idiot who is clearly way out of his depth.

For what it’s worth, I’d crawl across broken glass to have Thatcher in charge, she’d be brilliant and decisive with clear messages rather than the fluffy ambiguous ‘advice’ we’re being given. And I ****ing hated her. I’d also be overjoyed if Cameron was wheeled out in a ‘war doctor’ move to replace the awful PM. I don’t trust a thing the compulsive liar utters.

Here, we can go to work, and food shops for essential supplies. Public transport restricted. From midnight tonight, you must wear some sort of mask when using it. Shops, malls, bars, restaurants, pretty much everything else locked down, police AND army patrolling to enforce quarantine. Arriving at work, we are having temperature taken.
Authorities taking it seriously here

Keep calm and carry.... Oh.

I like the logic of the Government's next steps - they know that right minded sensible people, of which there are many, will follow this advice. They also know that (hopefully) a minority will ignore it.. This continues the gradual changes to the curve they want and still leaves strict police/soldier controlled isolation to come at another stage.

Welcome back.......haven’t missed much

 

[Palacefinder General]

Phone calls, skype but Dad would not have a scobby about that as most 85 plus would not I think

My thinking is going to visit but talking at a distance maybe outside the property so there is that face to face contact but with limited risk. I’ll also be doing the groceries and newspaper run, home deliveries will be stretched to the limit, more than they already are.

observation:
we must close the schools, isolate the children.
over 70's being isolated is a terrible idea.

are we ready for full on isolation if it were mandated tomorrow?

Ready if it's what it takes intrigued to know what would be expected of me once I'm rid of.this damn thing if I were to assume it was CV

 

[FloatLeft]

Am I mad in saying that I’d like to get it, get my isolation over with and then know that I can go see my folks without worry that I’m gonna infect them?
