Dear God, that's the size of a hamster.

Well done for getting rid of the huge annoying bastard Allergic. You'll feel much better without that brute knocking about.

Long I would send DD to the country if I were you, will reduce anxiety esp if distant field has bad wifi Grin

My parents' friends all 80-plus are fleeing London despite telling everyone else They Lived Through The War. DM and DF are telling everyone they have it. They don't.

Lana closer than you realise there. I keep referring to today as my Decree Absolute for George (yes I named him a few years ago, when we still thought he was a lipoma) having come through today - well I've lived with the bastard for 15 years and it's a useless irritation that seems to have developed a personality of it's own, so today HAS been similar to a divorce from a useless husband Grin

Dearie me, there are some panic spreaders on MN. Very silly and
naughty of the mods to allow it.

Considering posters are censored to the point of not being allowed to say anything uncomplimentary about Meghan Markle (or sim, also other actresses/royals/reality people) can't quite see why MN are fine about spreading mass panic.

Meh to them. Just been watching the news & the Govt chief scientific advisor gave stats that of the people tested for Corona in the UK around 2% were positive so far. That's a rather small number. Yes I understand the reasons for some of the measures taken, but if people are careful & sensible they are unlikely to catch it, and the vast majority of those who do it will just feel like a standard cold or mild flu.

It looks like the only people at risk are those with underlying conditions or very elderly, who standard flu would probably carry off.

I'm still being followed around the house this morning, & I'm pretty sure one of them snuck onto my bed overnight & dived off when I started to wake up (not usual behaviour). Luckily this op site isn't getting in the way of their favorite snuggle positions Grin

Good riddance to George AllergictoIroning. Boy and girl cat sound as if they recognised you were ill. Hope you are feeling back to normal today (I know the big un is still to come.)

No risk of contagion in the middle of a field of cow pats!

That made me laugh TheLongRider and reminded me of when I was little and went to Ireland. I so hoped the cows on my uncle’s farm would be like pets, being so totally urban and ignorant of Things Rural.

I may have Coronavirus! 😷
I mean, I probably haven’t, it’s likely to be just a cold, but started coughing yesterday, feeling shivery and developed a headache, and the government are saying to self isolate for a week.
I don’t seem to possess a thermometer but I don’t think I have a temperature 🤷🏼‍♀️

DD and I are in 7 day isolation, with me freaking out as I'm severely immunocompromised Sad.
On a feline note, has anyone ever heard of diabetes, asthma and potassium deficiency in a cat all being stress related?!

Fluffycloudland77 · 13/03/2020 11:37

Oh god I hope none of you have it. We’re on high alert here too, dh is compromised on several fronts.

I’ve never heard of stress causing all those things but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen.

Good news your home Allergic.

Asthma could certainly be stress, as could diabetes @Justonedayatatime11. How awful for you both. Time to catch up on telly and baked goods, at least.

I am too lazy to walk to TK Maxx to get DM a nightdress, so will have to take the Plague Bus.

BAD Paws!!! Leroy needs no influence 🙄.

I still have my cough. I've had it since Octoberish last year. I've had tests, x-rays, antibiotics... the only thing that's changed is that I can now clear a room in seconds 😆.

Brotherly undue influence. They make a great pair. I get the impression that Ollie really likes having someone to boss around.
