To be worried about Coronavirus part 5

[idontusuallypanic]

Parents here are very upset about kids from Milan being at school today.

Department of health will have to say something soon. It's all over the newspapers. It's in the telegraph, the mail on the BBC and the local radio stations

Update on #coronavirus:

Two further patients in England have tested positive for #COVID19, bringing the total number of UK cases to 15.

Patients have been transferred to specialist NHS infection centres.

Just in.

Two new cases.

Passed on from Italy and Tenerife...

Tenerife.

I'm starting to find some of these posts very distasteful. The criticism of the Tindall's ,anyone who's visited Italy etc. It's all Chinese whispers and playground gossip. Following on from the vilifying of anyone Chinese. The government advice is very mixed message. Without closing school, stopping flights, closing businesses covid 19 going to spread everywhere. I think we're just going to have to accept it.

Where is the other case?? I know one is Buxton obviously but where is the other? I'm fucking frantic. Just dropped my immune suppressed son at school and I've no idea whether it's in my town.

Ofwarren- any more info on the Geneva case...I'm flying there on Saturday 😬

Checks time

Published at five min past 9am...

@ofwarren clearly nobody in until 9am to send the tweet. Ridiculous and dare I say it almost disingenuous behaviour from our so called leaders.

They need to held to account. We need a daily briefings with CV advice - Pref: AM, lunchtime and evening with either BoJo or health minister standing up and delivering the news. This is akin to being at war now. Thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of lives are at stake, the economcy and the whole future of the nation.

Surely they have to add advice about travel to Tenerife now?

Geneva case is man in his twenties who had just returned from Italy.

Oh dear, I thought we were getting away with it given it had been so quiet for a few weeks. I wander what will happen re the school being closed as children aren't the cleanest of us!! I imagine this means the people stuck in tenerife now face a quarantine of longer and back here.

I'll check when I'm home not strong

Two more coronavirus cases confirmed in UK www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51656609

Surely the least economically devastating course of action is to just let it sweep the population.

Its the long term economic fall out that will cause more problems than the relatively small number of deaths that will ensue.

So... is Tenerife the test case for what happens if the virus is left to run its course amongst people? Is this what they'll potentially base future containment advice on?

ofwarren if you're worried why not keep him off for a couple of days. Its almost the weekend and unless he's in Year 11 and has GCSEs I would in your position.

Did they say royal Liverpool and royal free hospital?

Yes I believe so @NatyoCheese

Royal Liverpool and Royal Free London

As nhs told us they had to 'assume we are fine' we have sent DD to school today (despite having been in Lombardy and symptoms)...I don't have anything to back up keeping her at home but it doesn't feel right...

My husband has gone to get him. He's more persuasive than me. I'm a wreck.

I wonder if the person who has it after being in Tenerife stayed at the quarantined hotel.

I think you should keep her off Poppy. She has symptoms, she's been in the area and she hasn't been tested and cleared. I'd be getting her back home and calling 111 again.
