In Spain people can go out to exercise or walk dogs. Together if they're from the same household I think. London will be locked down first so I guess we'll see what the rules are like there. It's a shame so many will undoubtedly react with panic and stockpiling... as though the government would leave us to starve in our homes. Link to post Share on other sites

Ash 167 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I have the virus and I'm really struggling to get out of bed but I have to because I have other people to look after. I'm constantly exhausted, EVERYTHING is aching and I keep going from being too hot to freezing cold and shivering. I feel really weak but this is not the illest I've ever been (it will obviously affect certain groups of people differently) but it's definitely not nice. Still don't feel the urge to stockpile toilet paper, though. Edited March 19, 2020 by Ash 1 Link to post Share on other sites
guineapig 9 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Ash, serious question, how do you know it's not just ordinary flu. A constant cough is one of the symptoms of this virus Link to post Share on other sites

guineapig 9 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 How does it work going shopping when you're restricted to 2 items of things? Supposing you're doing a family shop, or on behalf of isolated friends and relatives. What's to stop people going round again? Link to post Share on other sites

There will be genuine reasons to buy loads of supplies, large families, buying for vulnerable parents/friends as well as your own but unfortunately there’s a large proportion of people who’s actions have made this necessary. It will only spike again when the government implement the next phase of control measures. So the question a lot of people will ask themselves is, if it’s going to get worse again sometime soon do they preempt and jump the gun so to speak. Vicious cycle indeed Link to post Share on other sites

Some people have said they are positive and have had zero symptoms (Idris Elba was one I think). Then there are others it is hitting like a freight train. I had a sore throat, cold and banging headache over the weekend. Feel a little achey, low energy and have chills this week. No idea what it is as can't be tested. Obviously I self-isolated anyway as can't be too careful. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Indeed all the best Ash, not knowing if you have it or not must be difficult and when if possible would you be tested? I went into 15 local shops today not a single egg anywhere nor toilet paper, called Daniel, he lives out in the sticks and the village shop had plenty of eggs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

COVID 19 we are told has very specific symptoms and if your cold/flu does not match then chances are you o not have it Link to post Share on other sites
