And who are you?

I thought that Zigenare mentioned he thought a colleague had it, therefore he had been exposed?

EDIT: found it.

So, if they've got it, I've got it, and if I've got it, the poor sods that I'm currently working with in Worcester have got it too!

I suspect that Johnson will be stopping the daily 'how many have it' quite soon...

He has made it a notifiable condition, he may stop the press releases but PHE won't be able to

Stop getting triggered you little snowflake.

Of course it's not good that anyone gets it, but for most who get it the symptoms will be very mild. Unless Ziggy is in the high risk group (over 70, existing underlying illnesses) then he'll be fine.

It's the panic that's funny; why worry about something that is unlikely to affect you, and even if you are unfortunate to get the virus it's highly unlikely to be worse than a mild cold?

For the record so that you know my personal situation, I have asthma, mostly exercise induced due to the bike racing I do each week. My wife has a very serious illness that will likely take her away from me within the next 5 years. My Mom works in a hospital - so far tested 27 patients, all negative. We're all going to die at some stage, whether it's covid-19 that takes us, or something else, there is no dodging death; take precautions by all means, but stop getting in a tizz FFS.

Man sorry to hear that. Hope you're able to spend less time working more time together going forward.
