Why would you fake a sick note? You'd lose your job. Make an appointment at your GP surgery.

its a novelty product that could get you fired.

If you are feeling that anxious go to the doctor he may well give you a proper doctors note

You can get a real sick note Helen if you go to the doctor and tell him you are suffering with anxiety.

That's sad they are blaze about the health of their own gc?

What will you do?

Personally I'd say I'd like rather seem crackers to them than expose dc to the risk.

When we have people like Priti Patel in Government who thinks everyone should be at work whatever their health or circumstances including the disabled and/or ill i dont hold out much hope for the containment of this,

And if it does escalate and poorer ppl are affected id be more worried about civil unrest quite frankly.

Interesting comment just now on the BBC news.

These latest confirmed cases will raise alarm, but almost all who have been tested positive in the UK have made a full recovery.

The almost all is very telling.

That's only because 8 were discharged and 1 (the most recent of the initial 9) is still in hospital? Last I saw they weren't recorded as a serious case so I don't think too much needs be be read into the 'almost all' thing.

I can't believe corona/covid etc is not trending on Twitter.

A while ago it was permanently top of trends with all its misspellings.

There's a huge volume of tweets on the feed, doesn't make sense at all.

I think they just mean that the ninth case still has the infection. I don't think there's anything ominous about that.

Snowdropdelight They won’t look at it like that, they will just think quarantining is an over reaction. I am hoping by Tuesday there will be some more advice out there for people travelling back from Italy.

I would be interested to read anything about it. I thought we hadn't had an update in a while.

I'm hoping it wasn't an ominous statement, perhaps it's just the way I interpreted it.

#coronavirusoutbreak is trending

It isn't trending on mine either, even when I change it to worldwide trends. I've no idea how trends work though.

Scenes from my local supermarket in Basiglio, south of Milan. Panic stocking up on food because of the #coronavirus.

Aaaargh...this is making me think I should have paid more attention to the preppers threads! (Might pop out for some pasta as surprisingly we don't have much in).

Nothing is trending with a Coronavirus tag - social media organisations have been asked not to spread panic.

It’s not panic buying because of it trending on social media it’s because they are under martial law
50000 people are currently on lock down

That's not counting the Chinese lockdown...

My post was specific to northern Italy

Sorry, wasn't meaning to sound like I was correcting you
