Wow, not happening here.  If anything supermarket seems quieter.

[Pennyfarthing]

We had texts from our surgery last week about the Coronavirus.  Mum's care home has signs up and hand sanitiser available.  Even a couple of charity shops in town has signs up about it.

I was just reading that most stores in Norwich have run out of hand sanitisers and face masks. unbelievable.

The fear factor ramping up Barnacle 

Yes, i know. I have heard that a part of a GP's surgery in the town had to have a deep clean after a patient was suspected of having it, so maybe that sparked a bit of a panic amongst the locals. They eventually tested negative.

I had an email tonight from Ocado saying they were getting my demand for deliveries and customers were ordering more than usual.

I've just found a Daily Mail online article about reader tips for stock piling.  It's this sort of thing that causes problems and it's utterly ridiculous.

World has gone mad

I did consider buying more toilet rolls and canned goods  .  I wonder whether food banks will suffer shortages?

A few years ago there was a thought that by using all these hand gels etc. it was making germs resistant  .  I went back to soap and hot water partly due to the plastics issue.  But OH I hate sticky soap.

This will run. Until something over takes it ...........

Wet wipes will do, if you are out and about.

Eldest son just boarded a plane to Prague with his partner.  Lots of people with face masks apparently.

[CLKD]

Any with hand gel though?  Best time to go touring, streets will be empty etc.. 

[Sparrow]

They're visiting the inlaws so lots of home cooked Czech food and beer, of course.

[CLKD]

Oh ........ sounds lovely. 

All those cyclists in UAE tested negative so that was a kick reaction then  .

I have right-sided sciatica - in the back of the calve in2 the foot 

[Sparrow]

Don't think it's a virus symptom though  .

Try lying on your back and pulling your knees up to your chest, one at a time.

[CLKD]

 . as long as you aren't watching with a camera ........

what was the question   

[CLKD]

I do wonder how many people testing 'positive' would under normal situations, have gone to bed with a Whisky and lemon  .  It may be that similar viruses are out and about and we never get to hear about them. 

The local foodbank was stuffed after C.mas but I haven't looked recently. 

[Sparrow]

The experts are saying that there are many people infected with symptoms so mild, or non existent, they don't realise they have it.  I think this makes containment pretty near impossible. 

I also heard some health official (can't remember who), suggest that anyone with a virus should self isolated, Coronavirus or not.  Interesting.
