My brother just told me he met the CMO today and he said the only thing he said was to wash hands for 29 secs and that was it. Not to amend any other way of living

CochonDinde · 06/03/2020 22:42

Stupid question alert, but will the PHE update with numbers infected over the weekend? I assume they will

Random18 · 06/03/2020 22:42

I would visit my parents. But I can't get a fucking flight there

Wehttam · 06/03/2020 22:42

Is your brother called Borris by any chance Hore?

CrunchyCarrot · 06/03/2020 22:43

And free grocery deliveries to those self isolating.

How does that work, exactly? When I go online to buy from Ocado (other supermarkets are also available!) will I need to fill in a check box to say I'm self-isolating? How would I prove it? Somehow I think this hasn't been thought through properly.

Horehound · 06/03/2020 22:44

Haha @Wehttam

Reallybadidea · 06/03/2020 22:46

Gosh, 29 seconds is awfully specific

WouldShouldCould · 06/03/2020 22:47

@GPwife2411 thanks for your link earlier.

Horehound · 06/03/2020 22:48

Lol @Reallybadidea I may have had some wine tonight

Seems so weird to not be advised to visit my own nan but yet I work with the elderly...

Cant see many people accepting this kind of hypocrisy. They cant have it both ways.

mymigraine · 06/03/2020 23:05

Wehttam yeah it's like that. The children thing. That only 960 were included in the Wuhan statistics and now in shenzen there a lot more. That the severe case rate was 2.5 % in the Wuhan children. A lot different to media nonsense.

Random18 · 06/03/2020 23:12

mymigraine is that confirmed?

People are hysterical enough so please don't scaremonger.

If you are going to post comments like that please link to expert sources

mymigraine · 06/03/2020 23:16

Was just saying to Wehttam. This I found on the Internet I have not checked credentials

Fourducksate · 06/03/2020 23:17

@GPwife2411. I’ve sent you a PM. Or is anyone able to send me the link please, (cough, cough wink, wink, say no more)

peachgreen · 06/03/2020 23:18

@mymigraine where on the internet? Because I can't find it anywhere. All sources, including scientific ones, saying children are infected at about the same rate but with significantly milder symptoms.

ShanghaiDiva · 06/03/2020 23:18

@BigChocFrenzy
Your expert opinion Is an opinion with no factual evidence.
The relaxation of measures in some provinces is a fact.
Given the extreme loss of face China has suffered as a result of the initial delay/cover up I don’t see how they could be hiding 50000 cases per day.

MaxNormal · 06/03/2020 23:25

@mymigraine you need to provide a credible source if you're going to make class likely to alarm people.

MaxNormal · 06/03/2020 23:25

I couldn't believe the KFC advert.

It beggars belief what must be the worse timed advert ever.

I'm very against licking fingers full stop.

Jumpingintotheabyss · 06/03/2020 23:27

I have friend in China she said people are returning to the streets in her area and life is slowly starting again.
They also had an app which told you where affected people were.

The pp who detailed what is happening in Germany was really interesting.

mymigraine · 06/03/2020 23:30

peachgreen everything i see still does say that

ShanghaiDiva · 06/03/2020 23:30

Yes, measures started to be relaxed last week with lots of office workers going back last Monday.
Also my local supermarket in China has loo roll!

peachgreen · 06/03/2020 23:33

So how has China got it so under control so quickly and why aren'g we doing the same?

daisypond · 06/03/2020 23:40

Forcible quarantining. Draconian government. And its social system is based around the good of society, not the good of the individual.
