The people saying "It's all a fuss over nothing, it's no different to normal flu" are going quieter by the day.
I don't that many people have been saying that. Rather it's about providing context using mortality and infection rates of past pandemics and seasonal flu. That's been lacking on the media.

Is it the new fashion for every TV show to have a presenter "self isolating" and on Skype now?
I’m not sure that context is particularly helpful. It might sound level headed and smart to say “there are x thousand deaths per year from flu” while negating to mention infection rate, mortality rates, lack of vaccine , lack of immunity or that the current Coronavirus rates are only what they are due to the measures being put in place to slow the spread.

I know this is not a PC view but the very term “self isolating” is getting pretty grating- it’s up there with “meditating” and “mindfulness”
Seem to be doing strangely well here.Up to 4 positive tests in coventry.
Group still a "family" business.Who owns Virgin Group, the majority shareholder of Virgin Atlantic, now? Tried googling the answer but not getting anything but Branson.

Sorry mate I’ll pop round yours in a bit
Yeah hes acted like a twat but thank fuck he's realised how big a problem this really is and is acting in a massive way
How are you feeling today Hill? Guessing its been a rough few days mate
Someone probably reminded him he's got an election coming up.
Tired mainly. Plus try to simultaneously avoid and look after a 4 year old who’s not at school while my wife works from home. Had enough of it.
This is the bit that worries me more than the damn virus, how the hell I’d look after the kids (without cross-infecting) with zero protective gear (as we were told not to bother) if I or them get ill.Tired mainly.

Feels like they want families to self-isolate as a group while the virus ripples through the family before everyone comes out two weeks’ later immune and ready to save the rest of us.
Get a blanket, pillow and go an drive somewhere for a sleep in the car!
Its not really ideal when people have families and think they might have it and everybody being crammed into the house
They don’t know the answers yet though to those questions I don’t think. There’s talk of an imminent test that will show antibodies and therefore whether you’ve previously been infected which would help. Let’s hope it is developed and widely available soon enough for it to be useful.The issue with that is testing, how do people know it is fully out of their system in 2 weeks before everybody is allowed out again?
Do people become immune straight away? What happens if we stay in, our family gets it and we all break free in a couple of weeks and it all spreads again?
Plus I don’t even know if I’ve got it. And what if my wife shows symptoms in 13 days. Locked ins again. And then what if she hasn’t got it then? Shambles
Could do with some of those drive-through testing stations that some countries are providing. At least you’d know for sure.Plus I don’t even know if I’ve got it. And what if my wife shows symptoms in 13 days. Locked ins again. And then what if she hasn’t got it then? Shambles

Briefly from here:
1. We will be open for all of Easter under the same arrangements as the next few weeks.
2. Teachers are likely to be asked to provide grades for GCSE and A level students.
3. Due to the right to appeal being maintained we have been asked to estimate as high a grade as realistically possible.
I can’t describe how I feel at this moment but I have already bollocked students celebrating what is going on.
I think one take out from this whole thing is that we all need to stop being scummy gits and follow the basic personal hygiene protocols we are being shown regardless of whether we think we have it, have had it or are too cool to catch it. Meaning more hand washing, sneezing / coughing as taught etc. And if you think there’s any way you could still be infectious avoid high-risk environments (schools, care homes, hospital etc).Was chatting with my wife about this. Suppose you have had it and are then 'clear' - if you then revert to a mentality of 'I've had it, so now I'm ok' you could still physically encounter the virus again (on hands etc,) and pass it on to someone who hasn't. Not sure I've got my head fully around when it will have fully been classified as 'over' - await NHS/govt advice I suppose) Apologies if that information is already out there.
