Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Very impressed with Nicola Sturgeon today, her outlining the way forward was grim in some respects but she is trying to be upfront and honest with the public, that’s all I wanted to hear from our Westminster politicians, instead of treating the public like infants.

To be fair, it was no different from what was said at the beginning of the week on the daily briefing and as she takes part in Cobra briefings it doesn't have any surprises.

She does come across very well on her briefings in tone and substance.

What about the question she got from a Record reporter, in regarding Christmas, she did very well to remain calm in light of that question, utterly absurd question.

There was a report on the Sky News website the other day- TomTom revealed there has been an 80% drop in satnav use in the last month.....No:poop:Sherlock...:rolleyes:
 
A friend's son has had it. 22 years old, lives in the gym, plays 5-a-side a couple of times a week and Sunday league. Out for a run a couple of times a week. Basically a super fit guy. Had what he thought was C19, and did the right things, self-isolating etc. Came out the other side, symptoms diminished etc..... apart from he was getting breathless walking any distance or walking up stairs. Going out for his run is out of the question at present.

Getting a little concerned about the breathlessness he took himself off to the docs, who sent him for an x-ray. Extensive scarring to the lungs and some pockets of fluid still in there. He has youth and a base fitness level on his side but the scarring won't disappear completely and whether he'll be out playing football and going to the gym remains to be seen.

His view on lockdown now is very different to the feeling of invincibility he had.
 
Day off yesterday. Very productive. Weeks shopping done, Tescos very quiet for a change. Cleared tree cuttings. Watered lawn (grass seed finally germinating). Put together fire pit ready for weekend. Re-gripped a golf club, first ever attempt, easy peasy....who knew??????. Cooked a new dish for tea, very nice it was. Drank 3/4 of a bottle of wine. Watched a cr...rubbish film.

It seems to be like this with some people. My Daughter is still struggling with her breathing and feeling weak over three weeks since having it. Maybe this is what has happened with Boris as he still seems low.
 
Seen it all now!!!

cycling with the dog this morning past Whinn Park and load of body builders setting up a weight lifting agear from their cars in the car park, came back past a hour later a dozen of them crowded around us using the weights dumbells and free weights:rolleyes:

I am absolutely sure that the media / hacks have a secret ongoing competition to see who can ask the most stupid question of the day & get a reply from a minister.

At least it's subtly different from Trump's news conferences - comp seems to be 'Who asks the question that gets the stupidest reply'!
 
Finally, more daily recoveries than new infections in Spain. Also, 367 deaths. Twice in the last week there's been less than 400 declared. A week ago the average was over 500, and a week before that the average was over 600. This week looks like the average will be comfortably in the 400's.

The new lockdown has been announced, another 2 weeks but with one restriction lifted. Children under 14 are allowed out to play but not with anyone who isn't from their house. Also, a carrot has been dangled. More restrictions to be lifted in 2 weeks time providing the numbers continue to improve. Several of the regional presidents are arguing for tourism to be opened up by late July.

This was my biggest problem Brian, just blowing out of your backside doing nothing.
Although I’m nowhere near as fit as your friend.
