Worried About Corona Virus- thread 32

[BretonKitten]

New thread

I presume a lockdown law will override an order saying a child has to see the other parent.

So, looks like my boss and his entire large family have it. They fell ill between Thursday and Saturday, having returned from Disney Orlando 2 weeks ago today. I was last with him 10 days ago. Fortunately I have been in the house or on solitary dog walks since then. Fingers crossed for the next few days ........

Sunshine, I did think of that. I have a feeling it will be classed as essential.

Shit @neededtonamechangeforthis keep us updated and fingers crossed for you.

Worldometer shows UK as 154 new cases is that Scotland and Wales only? I thought it was filled in when England numbers were out

Im currently self isolating till tues. My mot is due by then..... Not quite sure what to do. I have emailed the DVSA to see if I can defer. I could take it, and throw a key at them and jump in my DH car I doubt they will collect it. But by then will we be on lock down do we think? Arrgghhh im so stressed.

Is that not low for new cases? I can't actually remember what yesterday/day before's were??

That is just the figures for Scotland and Wales. Not the whole UK.

@Horehound -deaths today ishowing as 8. I am Guessing the figures posted so far are Wales?

Thats just Scotland and Wales - they update as each country announces their results

No, it looks like the new cases are for all of UK. The deaths are for Scotland and Wales only.

@Horehound
There is a tab at the top for yesterday

I can fully see why we need a lock down. My neighbours have threatened to ground their kids if they misbehave, so still letting them out clearly and then this afternoon they have friends around in the garden playing. On top of those poor kids being f’d at all morning. Hilarious if it wasn’t so serious. No helping some people.

lmerc you are projecting. You don't know a thing about me.

sunshine I agree, that's exactly what we need and possible the only thing that will work

Ohhh thanks @Alwayscheerful

The new cases are just from Scotland and Wales so far today.

Seems cobra ongoing. Briefing later!

Hoping for lockdown.

My elderly neighbour (fastidious over garden and always getting work done) is getting his tree pruned. He's side by side with the contactors who are armed with chainsaws, climbing trees.

It makes me nervous.

What time is Boris speaking?

If you saw crazy busyness at the weekend is it still the same? It’s so quiet here but granted I haven’t left my home or street.

Has it calmed down now it’s past the weekend?

Sorry bananacake. I'm just about done with society. I've lost my job from no workers rights, no student funding, I've been effectively homeless in the last year, struggled to feed dc and needed up in a box in the inner city and now the middle class tell me just not to go outside and stop being selfish for trying to survive

@imerc look stop your pity party! We are telling you to stay inside for your own good. We aren't saying it for fun or because we want to annoy you.
I'm sorry you've had a shit time but at least you aren't Ill/dying/dead.

From the Guardian -

A further 46 people who tested positive for coronavirus have died, bringing the
total number of confirmed reported deaths in England to 303, NHS England said.

Lmerc - I feel for you, wish I could say something more helpful than that.

Another 46. Not as bad as I feared but still horrendous.
