Prepping for a pandemic... 13

[FuckThisWind]

Sorry I couldn't find a new thread. If there is one already, I'll have this deleted.

Will get links etc brought over from last thread too.

Are the figures for Scotland much lower than England? Perhaps she’s holding fire for a bit? I’m hoping it’s for a good reason as I like Nicola Sturgeon and don’t want to consign her to the ever growing list of politicians I think are useless.

Sorry I haven't caught up yet. Talking to head teacher today and the stance here in my county is that's business as usual at school until the Gov says otherwise. Keeping kids off will be unauthorized if parents decide to isolate

@NatoPMT Thinking of you. I’m sure you’re sufficiently removed danger but I understand. It’s awfully close to home!

I’m a lot calmer than I have been (no idea why) but sharing a door/hallway with my next door neighbour (who is definitely NOT one of us) is stressing me out. Right now she has her inner and our outer door open. 🥴

@colouringinpro Mine goes to school on the underground too. I am making her get in the shower when she gets home instead of before bed like she usually would as I'm over fifty with asthma and have caring responsibilities for elderly parents with risk factors.

WHO apparently not sure about reinfection. If that’s a real possibility then I need plan b.

Just got an email from primary school saying that school is remaining open

Remember that viruses can only replicate inside a cell.

They are not like bacteria where one on a sponge is 16 million the next morning.

@NatoPMT - I have everything crossed that your neighbours are negative. 🤞

@MoonlightMistletoe horrible decision isn’t it

What is the point of going to the next phase if nothing g changes?? Ffs.

Teacher on BBC just now saying they are about to become the biggest babysitter network and they can't keep putting their necks on the line as it affect their families too.

I think schools need to get angry now.

Lets see what 430 brings.

Who's betting Bojo is waiting until the stock markets close at 4.30?

Thanks @84TinsOfBeans I have family in Bridgend so have been looking out for news on that area.

I’m fidgeting like a crazy 12 year old

Where is best to see the announcement? (If it ever comes)

where is the announcement.. I don’t think these people will do anything..it sounds like the best advice is to look after ourselves .. no one else in interested in doing anything.. effing morons

Watching BBC now waiting for the announcement. I am in a bit of a rage. The guy on now is all no, schools wont close. Cough into your elbow, wash your hands.

This is all so surreal. Like slow motion. I keep getting big surges of realising this is really happening.

Another day spent waiting for leadership.

@VenitoResident that actually is a calming thought, thank you. I have been mentally mixing the two.

Apparently people in the Isle of Man Govt have been told the UK Govt will be announcing measures on the 20th March.

This again ties in roughly with the other rumours...

I think he misunderstood delay phase.. it’s not for you - you don’t need to delay yourself - you need to delay the pandemic ffs

Wtf is going on? I’ve got to leave to go home now, where do you think I can listen to it on the radio if it ever bloody comes? Why is it taking so long? If Nicola sturgeon has left, what else can they be talking about?

Number crunching waiting for the news.

Although only 0.03% of the population of Veneto is infected, 32% of cases are serious enough to require hospitalisation.

I wonder how many cases there really are.

WHERE IS BOJO? (sorry having a bit of a moment and feel like screaming)

LBC are good for radio updates

The guy on BBC..."...what you have to remember is that we're not in the position that Wuhan was in or that Italy is in now"

Me shouting at TV: "BUT WE WILL BE IF YOU DONT DO ANYTHING DICKWAD"
