State of Emergency Covid-19 (Part 5)

[Mike in Cumbria]

It is absolutely awful - don't act as if it's just flu - there's a vaccine for that.

And flu is nowhere near as infectious as this virus, so spreads much more slowly through a population.

[Mike in Cumbria]

The Media and TV have made this absolutely awful, for those who suffer with anxiety, depression, or have heart and other related medical and undiagnosed medical conditions.

Whilst Piers Morgan (this am) demands Matt Hancock (Secretary of State for Health) to make us all housebound!

A walk outside is good for many of us, as long as we heed UK Government advice.

UK Influenza kills 8,000 yearly.

Expect the NHS and our Services to have to deal with a whole range of other Medical symptoms too, stirred up by the TV media!!

It is not nice to find yourself suddenly in A & E and the machine's alarm sounding and your Wife to be told he could have a stroke!

It is serious, so Listen to Government Advice and how we can help (if we can)!

But stop listening to the TV Media hyping it up, if we can't help, we can only pray and hope for them and pray for those families who have already lost their loved ones.

Those putting themselves forward to help locally, are hardly being mentioned nationally.

Chill everyone, all the best, Mark

That's right, blame the media.  If you think this is hype, you're part of the problem.

I truly don’t understand  ?? half the population are terrified, the other half don’t seem to give a monkeys. 
London tube trains again today  : do these people have a genuine death wish. 
I blame the “It’s always someone else’s fault” society we have become. No-one wants to take responsibility for anything any more not even their own selves or family

Also the teenagers who went and coughed in the faces of an elderly couple, the person who intervened was injured as well as the lady.

Will Eating Bananas Prevent Coronavirus Infection?

False.  Shame, though.  I'm in the banana capitol of the world.  I wonder if the original story was started by Ecuadorian farmers?

Sincere apologies - Mike in Cumbria - BUT you have just returned, I assume to Cumbria, from Haute Vienne in France (earlier posts on RC via Mike in Haute Vienne).  I do sincerely hope that you and your family, plus dog, are REALLY self-isolating. 

Have you put anyone at risk?

[BushInn1746]

It is extremely serious, so Listen and Follow Government Advice, Chief Medical Officer, Official Adverts and NHS Advice!

I do want to know the latest and am following advice. I can't understand why some are not!

However, the intense reporting of Corona Virus, is and will be responsible for other medical problems, some requiring NHS / Services support or emergency hospitalisation, now and later.

Some NHS frontline and other Services Staff are and will be affected by what they have and will deal with too, whilst some have been emptying food shelves for all. (We know this from past Reports).

We need to keep strong, so that we can be a listening ear to all those Fantastic Public Servants and our neighbours in our community (in accord with contact advice of course), Mark

Completely self-isolating, for that very reason. We'd dearly love to see our son and our lovely grandson but that has to wait..

Mike's son is an A & E nurse. You can be assured that Mike will have all the right information and will be doing the right things.
