  that's very funny, I like that. 😊

That's interesting Two Hoots.  Do you know if that's on all of their cruises or just affected areas?

I think it's just a general email, I don't even have a cruise booked with them this year  check their website if you want a read I'm sure it must be on there.  I did wonder about cruises that start or finish in Venice, will those companies make alternative arrangements ?

Has anyone else had a text message  about the virus. Looks like it's a govt one. I've had two now.

[Sparrow]

Nope, what does it say?

Be careful though as there is info on the WHO website about scammers taking advantage of the situation.

How would anyone have my mobile number who would send me a medical text  - too much like Big Brother to me  .

Most countries have meetings about what might happen: terrorism, germs, earthquakes. Apparently all Councils have an Emergency Plan but they aren't allowed to publish it  - I was told recently that it's too long to pin on the village notice board and they don't want to freak people out.  So that's helpful in an emergency.  Not

I've had two from Patient Access linked to my surgery's online system. My GP communicates by text quite often.

GP surgeries CLKD.  Ours send text reminders for appointments.

Not to me they don't  .... so those who don't have mobile phones are missing out on what may be important information 

there's a lot of hugging and kissing at the Worlds' in Berlin right now  .  No sign of worry there!

Here it is

f you've travelled to the UK from mainland China, Thailand, Japan, Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia or Macau in the last 14 days and have a cough, fever or shortness of breath - or have been in close contact with someone with confirmed coronavirus - please stay indoors and call NHS 111. Even if symptoms are mild - do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital and avoid close contact with other people. For latest advice, visit the Department of Health website or

I cut out the last bit after "or" as it's a link to a site in case it's dodgy. .  But I went into it myself and it looks like an official Gov.uk page. With latest info about the virus.

I have had one from my GP practice. I also have to attend a first aider training session at work next tuesday. They are putting together special grab bags with extra equipment and instructions.

  you're on Form tonight 

No one has stated how to treat 'flu.  Usually it's pain relief, paracetamol and plenty of fluids.  DH asked me a few moments ago, had I seen any mention of how to actually treat it!

[Barnacle]

Some people must be stocking up on food as my supermarket delivery man told me that yesterday and today have been even busier than just before Christmas. Can't say i had considered it, but who really knows how this thing is going to pan out?!!.
