Originally posted by cryrst No tux, they are advising not telling. Surely you should be isolating for 2 weeks after coming back from Portugal. Or alternatively dont go in the first place! It's not only your family who will or could be infected by someone who doesnt know they have the virus. Anyway after half of kent had house parties last night maybe our liberty does need stopping. Some people just dont get it! Kids think they are untouchable but come the time their mates are being toasted it might be too late. I get your point but we had far more contact with people in Tesco for 30mins yesterday (both physical and airborne) than we had for over 140hrs while in Portugal. If you're going to get it then you're going to get it. As Rudi points out, one of the less infected regions in Europe. Buy Litecoin.

I told wifey that I'm more at risk from her than members of the general public as everyone she mixes with at work is sick although not necessarily infectious.

I might not have given you credit for knowing the risks so sorry for that. I'm not a doctor but am worried for me and my youngest son. Hes type 1 so really have to be on the ball for him. Hes bricking it poor lad and nothing we do will fully protect him. I get frustrated when people (not you) just dont get how serious this will get if it cannot be stopped from spreading. Hope you have a good (safe) day.

Sainsbury's( i think) have introduced shopping hours for NHS/key workers 07.30 - 08.30 Mon - Sat & then OAPS/vulnerable/carers 08.30 - 09.30 Mon,Weds,Fri This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

No evidence yet as far as I know whether there'll be a second wave in Asia to follow the return to work? Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.
