Coronavirus (Covid 19)

[Old Greg]

Went to sainsburys on friday. This old guy gets to top of the travelator thing, I am at the top of the stairs. He then proceeds to sneeze very loudly without doing it into his elbow or a tissue. I swore loudly in his direction. I then kept on seeing him coming towards me in each isle so I would do an about turn and mutter profanities.

Plenty of bare shelves but I got most things, dry goods etc.

Went to Asda on sat expecting worse but actually they had far more stuff, fresh meat, pasta. I even got some kitchen roll. Ordered some flour online last night so I can make my own pasta. Down to six loo rolls, so may venture out to find some.

Unprecedented times we are living in.

Coughing is more of a problem than sneezing.

Daily Mail:

The EU is said to be preparing to prohibit all but essential travel into the 26-country Schengen free-travel area by people from so-called 'third countries' outside the bloc. This including Britons who lost their EU citizenship at the beginning of January.

The EU:

"UK citizens are European citizens so there are no restrictions on UK citizens to travel to the continent."

Just find an airline, ferry or any other form of public transport that will take you.
Although I believe the Chunnel is still taking money from travellers?

Just had an all capitals text from the NHS.

"DO NOT COME INTO THE SURGERY TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT. Please call us instead"

If 99% got immunity it’s good enough, but better to achieve it via tested vaccine, just like flu people can get it more than once ...

Fake news, Ivan. Did a Woman Get Coronavirus Twice? Scientists Are Skeptical | WIRED

It's not fake news.

I didn't read the whole article but from what I did read, the conclusion is that 'they don't know.' She may have been reinfected or there "may" be other possibilities.

This is just an example that reinforces my opinion that this government do not (yet) know enough about this virus to be allowing it to spread; for the sake of the development of (a hopeful) "herd immunity."
