Breath in through your nose. Out through your mouth. And don't move your lips when you are reading a red top.
Let natures modifications over the millenia to your immune system do it's bit.
Can't help thinking all this cleaning everything with disinfectant sprays and not letting kids eat worms hasn't done any good at all.
I mean, I'm 63. All I've ever had go wrong with me is cancer. Other than that I'm as fit as a banjo with broken frets.Comment

Pierce Morgan - "because we've not been testing people who have symptoms, this is going to be the problem isn't it? Nobody knows if they've actually got [it.] someone who's got it."
When are people going to realise that the government actually wants this virus to spread in order to build this "herd immunity?" Only those with severe symptoms (as well as those who continue to show symptoms after the recommended isolation period) are able to call 111 and be tested. This is done in order to immediately protect those vulnerable (or with the worst reactions to the virus) while everyone else is used to spread it for the cause of creating this (hopeful/hoped for) herd immunity.Last edited by AB1; 17 March 2020, 15:10.Comment

They have stopped testing. Spent 1:30 getting through to 111 and their advice was to ring our GP.Comment

Further evidence that the government is allowing, even encouraging, the spread of this Coronavirus, in order to work towards herd immunity. However subtly they are trying to go about it (possibly to avoid causing further panic).
It takes around six weeks for this virus to clear out of persons system. People only quarantining for 2 weeks will therefore still have the virus and after leaving quarantine, will spread it further. These (having not had severe reactions to the the virus), will apparently, be the guinea pigs used for the building of herd immunity while resources (e.g. testing kits and NHS staff etc.) are reserved for severe cases. Smart move if it works. Potentially catastrophic if it doesn't, as the WHO have suggested tests, tests, test, be carried out in order for each nation to know what it is they're dealing with. If this governments plan to build herd immunity fails, with this lack of testing, it would be left in a position of having no idea what it is dealing with.Last edited by AB1; 17 March 2020, 15:21.Comment
