Worried About Coronavirus- thread 34

[RosieSunset]

New thread

So +329 cases on Worldometer. I assume again no England results yet.

*320

Nope, no England cases. There was a suggestion in the media that they may not report English deaths at all today as they adjust to their new system. But who knows.

The Powys and Swansea figures are the wrong way round.

@ofwarren, I'm really sorry to read that you're unwell. Big love to you all, I sincerely hope your DSs avoid this, especially given the lengths you've gone to to protect you transplanted son

@ofwarren sorry to hear that and hope you both recover quickly.

My parents are self isolating.

Can I drive to deliver them food??? I'm so confused by all of this.

@Helenj1977, I believe so, if they're vulnerable.

Yes, of course you can Helen. It is one of the 4 official exceptions to the stay at home rule.

@Helenj1977 Yes I'm doing this for both sets of parents. just doorstep pick up and drop off. Hatectgat I can't go in.

• Hate that I can't go in

You should only leave the house for one of four reasons:
● shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as
possible.
● one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your
household.
● any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.
● travelling to and from work, but only where you cannot work from home.

Bullet point 3. You are helping a vulnerable person.

You need to keep to the 2 metre rule though

Thank you all 😀

Got cottage pie cooking ready for tomorrow's delivery!

I think the no driving shocked me most out of all of this.

UN Secretary General: "It took the world three months to reach 100,000 confirmed cases of infection. The next 100,000 happened in just 12 days. The third took four days. The fourth, just one and a half. This is exponential growth and only the tip of the iceberg."

Helen we are delivering for my husband's Mum and my Uncle we were spot checked and police said it was fine.

@ofwarren I hope you feel better soon. Really sorry to hear you’ve potentially caught it when you’ve done your best to avoid it

Nearly at 500,000 cases World wide.

This screenshot is from the 6th of March. Absolutely insane how this has spread.

BNO Newsroom - 'BREAKING: China will ban the entry of foreigners due to the international spread of coronavirus, foreign ministry says.;

Ffs. They should have banned people leaving 3 months ago...

UK Emergency Legislation, Restrictions on Movement.

I agree. Borders should have been closed straight away except for repatriation of citizens who should then have been quarantined.

China is scared know - they know trump could destroy them economically and physically if he seeks revenge.
