Well they've now cancelled a the massive (12,000 people) scout event we were going to in the summer. @Star I hope your lot weren't going.
Fucking gutted.
 
Whole countries now closing their borders, Kuwait and India have banned all foreigners. Guatemala, all Europeans.
 
7th dead. Looks like it was the person who sent out BBC News notifications.

Got a GP appointment next week to find out why my gut has felt like it's "crowded" for the past few months (anything from IBS to "ascites caused by liver cirrhosis" to colon cancer according to Dr Google, and admittedly there's family history in that last one so I'd rather know sooner rather than later if it's that). Tempted to sack it off though - seems like an unwise place to be visiting in the midst of an exploding pandemic.

But health centres are doing all they can to STOP people going to them who may have the slightest symptom. I imagine you're more likely to get it on a bus or in Lidl, like Zu says.

Maybe irrelevant though, because there's probably a decent chance your appointment will be cancelled if it's considered non urgent.
 
I've already been phoning any of my clients with compromised immunity or COPD/asthma/diabetes etc to do consultations by phone rather than in person. And we're told there's a good chance that will be the case for everyone within a day or two.
 
I’ve always thought that my bedroom door looks quite tasty so I might have to pop it in the blender

The thing is though (because I’ve heard the same concerns from a friend of mine)... they could just as easily get it in the Lidl

Mine have pretty much decided not to leave the house though; I'm supposed to be visiting this weekend so better make sure I swim through a vat of antibac gel before going.
 
:D:disco: I might have to start buying tins I don’t actually like for added LUCKY DIP excitement and frisson, and of course more POINTLESS CHAT :disco:

Have UK media outlets been specifically told to include the words "...and had a number of underlying health conditions" to every death?

I guess it stops any panic.

I reckon

I mean, isn't life itself a health condition?
 
In the midst of all this horror (and lucky dip excitement), I’d quite forgotten that World War 3 was about to start in January. I presume that’s OFF NOW :side-eye:
 
My freezer is quite full at the moment and I was planning to eat some of it, but I guess I should keep it stocked for the self-isolation.
 
I’ve got approximately 25 home made meals (:)) in the freezer but I might just get 15” stuffed crust pizzas delivered to be on the safe side for now

Our health centre decided on this policy this morning with no warning, cue us having to deal with countless phone calls from hysterical patients. LOVELY.
 
Self isolation/ quaranting wouldn't be that radical for me. I have no job and am a fairly natural homebody. However a fortnight spent with Mr Ag would leave us BOTH DEAD.
 
I was on the phone to 111 for over an hour earlier on, before I had to hang up because the hold message was pissing me off. I only want them to confirm that I should be self-isolating so I don't have to go into work for the rest of the week.

True and also true! The other reason I say "it's an unwise place to be right now" is not entirely for myself (well, my parents with me as a potential carrier) but that it's just adding strain on the NHS when it really doesn't need it right now. I feel that "not in agony and nothing is bleeding" makes this a bit of a waste of a GP's time right now.

Gurgling like mad here so I might just self-diagnose IBS and if it's anything else then oh well, put "bloody bad timing that corona thing" on my tombstone :D
 
We should move on to Coronavirus fashion dears. This is a QUEENS FORUM!

What exotic prints are you all getting on your hazmat suit/ sad rags?*

*dependent on which Zone you live in.

Bang goes my plan of escaping to Germany before the end of the year at this rate. Never mind. I’m sure they’ve got some lovely sheltered accommodation in Jaywick and there’s bound to be vacancies because everyone will be dead :disco:

The virus was manufactured by globalists to UNITE THE WORLD against a common enemy.

Or manufactured by Boris to distract us from Brexit...
 
The response from the government/Matt Hancock right now is bizarre. It’s basically, it’s going to happen, it can’t be controlled, so we’re not really doing anything. BUT we’re listening to SCIENCE.

I mean China has showed that it can be controlled, presumably the government are reluctant to take such measures as they believe the economy to be more important.
 
All this chat has got my gastric juices going. I think I'm going to dig out my trolley and do a BIG TIN SHOP tomorrow.
