Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Looks like my wife has it. Had a persistent cough for 2 days now and her temperature is up. We don't have a huge house so very difficult for her to totally self-isolate but we're doing our best. She's not great but has no breathing difficulties at the moment so fingers crossed she doesn't get any worse.

Sorry to hear that. Hope it's only mild but do keep a close eye as it can get worse quickly. Hope she gets over it quickly and you don't get it

Really?
The best way to make this work is to keep as many people onside as possible.
Once there is a groundswell of opinion against what is being asked of us, it'll be more likely to lead to behaviour against the common good.

Groundswell, sorry the vast majority of the public are obeying a few muppets start mouthing off about human rights, overzealous etc etc. A couple of human rights lawyers jump on the bandwagon.

How about these idiots that think they can just do what they like realise that these rules are for everyone.

What needs to happen is people adhere to what is going on for the good of the country.

Largely agree though Human Rights is one of the greatest rights we have....... its the abuse of it thats the problem like the abuse of anything. :) Your doing a great job, kidda though I fear that in the final examination we'll find that the NHS staff have been hung out to dry...... not enough testing is happening!!

I don't disagree that the behaviour of the whole population is important in our relationship with the virus.
I believe that policing that is seen as not related to any specific written law works against that.
With reference to old skiers remarks, while we were at dinner tonight my daughter described how the online chat at her (professional) firm is full of normal educated peoples' disquiet about the lack of legal justification for various measures which are being policed. I realise that this is anecdotal, but I imagine that a groundswell of such opinion exists across the country. And we can be sure that opinions and sentiment travels even faster than microorganisms.

In the SW it appears that the NHS is leaving the care sector hung out to dry by not distributing the PPE from the central distribution points.
