Has anyone read the new Coronavirus Bill? Authoritarian power grab would be a good description.

 

There's been a suggestion that Westminster should administer an extraordinary National Government of Unity, similar to WW1 or WW2, on the basis that such draconian measures shouldn't be left in the hands of just one party. Whether or not Labour, the SNP, or other less relevant parties will agree to that, or even if the Tories will even allow it, remains to be seen, but I can see the logic behind it.

No, I am really starting to think that common semse has caught it - probably from a panic-buying trip! It's doubly ironic, especially seeing as he did it wrong and bought toilet paper instead of food! But he hasn't been on since Tuesday and hasn't even posted about his victory in the chart thread :o

He got given a 10% warn on Sunday that triggered an auto suspension by the looks of things xx

What was he given a warn for? Is seeming to encourage panic buying a warn-able offence now.

Though he was quite quiet for once!

I do miss him though. He provides a bit of humour and lighthearted relief in what is an understandably mostly serious and downbeat thread.

He's just laughable because he plays devils advocat so obviously and when I point it out he sends me a PM to stop it 😂

:rofl:

So I won’t be as at home as previously thought. It’s likely our school will be a ‘resistance hub’ and we’re all going on Monday to find out how many kids we need to cater for. We’all probably be rota’d on for a day a week whilst still having to provide online work for kids at home.

 

And at some point I’m sure the government will tell us what we’re actually supposed to be doing with these kids besides glorified babysitting.

So basically kids who's parents work in jobs like the NHS or supermarkets will continue to send kids to school?

 

We have to have 25% of the workforce in and the rest home. Although an update came through this afternoon stating people over 70 & with underlying health issues should work from home so I have forwarded that to my manager to ask if I should stay home. I actually don't mind going in when it's like this as it's dead and you can do more in work inhouse. Plus towns DEAD!!

 

 

My neck lymph node has become absolutely huge and it hurts to open my mouth fully. It's most likely not related to this at all but I was wondering if any of the infected people had this as well. I started to experience flu-like symptoms right before that but there's no fever or anything. Clearly I have some kind of infection or it's just flu my body is battling against so my immune system is too busy dealing with that. Therefore I'm feeling weird to go to the doctor now oops

 

What a time to get sick and overanalyse everything <3

So have you got it then? I would ring the doctor if your worried.

Corona? How would I know? In theory it's very unlikely that I got it because I barely talked to anyone IRL since last Saturday but you never know.

The sympons I experienced were

- Pressure on my lungs as if someone was constantly pushing down my chest

- Sore throat

- Dry cough

- Headache (although just 1 day)

- Coughing up slime

- Sore muscles

 

No fever for me either

I had sore throat but it disappeared right away. No fever at all. Sore muscles and general weakness are my two main symptoms.

Could be something like glandular fever. I had that for ages and my throat glands were huge - or felt so. I thought I had something really serious but it was just quite annoying.

I know it's not the end of the world in relation to everything else but what's distressing me so much right now is the hoarding. I am so tired of going into supermarkets recently and either finding them utterly empty or seeing queues out the door. I desperately don't want to be one of those people queueing up at 7am to get in and yet I'm starting to wonder how else I'm ever going to get pretty much any actual food. I'm trying to go at social hours and buy reasonable amounts but it's empty empty empty, and worse every day. You can't tell a virus not to kill people but we *can* control our attitude and the fact that the entire country is making a concerted effort to *not* be even remotely social is just so upsetting to me. Solitary confinement under a pandemic is stressful enough without adding in worrying about actually having food because people are filling entire freezers with anything they can find.

 

Again, small thing, and I mean no disrespect to the disease that is hanging over all of our heads, but this situation would be at least slightly less disheartening if it wasn't bringing out the worst in eeeeeeeveryone. Seeing people act this way is just destroying me at the moment.

Hard to know I guess with the lack of testing, keep well!

I'd be shocked if it was corona if you don't have a fever. Wishing you the best!

Fever is not even a 100% guarantee. It is only likely in the 15% that get heavier symptons. The rest get off with a cough
