Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Another cancelled lesson tomorrow as someone in their year group tests positive so they all isolate...
That's nearly 200 quids worth in 3 weeks gone....
Luckily we're not relying on my takings...i shudder to think how it's affecting some of the other instructors who are the main earners..

make sure youre still claiming the SEISS!
 
Mum has had it for over a week now.

Was pretty bad last Friday, went downhill rapidly over a 2 minute phone call so had to cut it short.

Much better every day now. Is 64 but has slight asthma so a relief she appears to be on the upward curve.

On a downside, working from home is starting to do me in. Feel a little stir crazy!
 
Well, finally, I actually know someone who has this damn thing. A woman who me and the wife have known for years, so before you jump all over me for the first statement, yes we are concerned, and worse, she works at our local primary school where our superstar grandson ( he will be on the telly I swear in 15 years) goes to. So he's self isolating.

We're now officially worried.

Hopefully just a precaution and your son will be fine. We've had a good number of staff either confirmed or having to self-isolate (played havoc trying to organise a daily rota) so have known someone with it from the outset. Not a good thing and there has been an element of "could I be next" throughout the unit for months now but to a degree it is something we just have to put to the back of our mind and crack on

Seems herd immunity isn't the answer as the health minister has confirmed it doesn't exist. So where do we go now?

Hmmm- then what is the difference between flu and Covid. As a nation we have flu with us, and have had for many years- and I have always understood it didn't kill many because of herd immunity. Because the overwhelming majority have had it at some time in their life.
Contrast to the proverbial Amazon tribe who have never seen flu. When they get it , it virtually wipes them all out.
so, is that thinking wrong,now?
How can some scientists believe there is herd immunity and some believe there isn't? Surely the evidence is there , one way or another.
As for measles and chicken pox. Are they mild illnesses which hardly ever kill, or would they too devastate our Amazon tribe? If they would, then to my mind, that proves herd immunity exists.

I think people are immune from many viruses due to mass immunisation but Flu tends to mutate so there's a new strains every year. Measles is a killer to people's with no protection.
