Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

[clubchamp98]

There you go Crawford, all those problems with your feet were because you were seeing a Gynaecologist and not a podiatrist

My brother had a big problem with his left foot.
He seen a podiatrist but it turned out his problem was his hip.
So it’s not so black and white.
They need to work together ,but need a media presence that’s all.

Congestion and emissions charges for front line workers was lifted last week as was on site parking charges.

They were lifted for everyone, not just front line workers, it’s impossible for them to identify who is and who isn’t, anyway.

Phisio said he had child bearing hips.

This isn't just about medical facts, the question is how to stop people dying from the virus and to not overload the NHS.

A heady responsibility. I consider myself fortunate that it isn't me that has to make those judgement calls

Not being able to go to a friend's funeral. It kinda really smacks you on the back of the head.

Yes and if it’s a big family not all will be allowed to attend.

A work colleague's dad died on Friday. He was in hospital serious ill. They were not able to be with him in his final hours. My colleague is pretty pragmatic about it as I don't think his dad had much perception of what was happening and it was going to happen sooner rather than later. Funeral might only be a small handful of closest family allowed. Difficult times indeed.

In the same boat tomorrow... Close family only... Basically my mates missus and kids...

Will be off the wagon, for the day, to bloody make sure I have a toast for a life well lived...

My cousin travelled from Germany to India... Was in quarantine - which he did not follow completely. Earlier this week taken to hospital with flu symptoms. Test have come negative. Sigh of relief followed by a earful from everyone for his behaviour ... every family has an idiot.

This is one of the harder things
One of the lass's elderly relatives died about 10 days ago (there have been others since)
There was a stream from the church where the priest said the mass and family and friends could join in the mass online
Worked very well and provided some genuine consolation

Well, that's been her role for several years!

i agree. I personally think the reported death from China are grossly under reported. I find it hard to belive China is only on 3000. whe're going to top that!!!!!

So, what do you think the real figure is?

They've made changes to our bin collections. It used to be
Brown bins (food and garden waste) - every week
Green bins (metal and plastics), blue bins (paper and cardboard) and grey bins (general waste), each being collected on a three weekly cycle.
They will now be collecting Green and Grey bins on alternate weeks.
Green bins remain metal and plastics, Grey bins take everything else.

id at least say on par with Italy

Ours are stopping the weekly food waste. It now has to go into the household waste. That gets collected every other week

Just heard that Prince Charles is now out of self-isolation.

Tough life

Oh, I never said it was tough. The thread was how has it affected you. This is an affect, just not a major one.
