Not sure how they'll 'police' the exercise one. Well quite, think the current UK Police dispersal orders can just shift the problem a couple of miles away. A Bill will go through Parliament in the next couple of days granting the Police additional powers. That should give a bit more detail, but where's the manpower coming from? Aside from the tourist sites and the financial districts, how often do you see a Copper in London? Will take the army won't it? Sorry for all the question marks 🤔but don't see how they will do it in London without the military 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumper63 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 So far, knock on wood, we have no reported cases here in Durango. We are not on lock down as yet. The owner of the Durango Silverton narrow guage railroad voluntarily shut the railroad down last week. And Purgatory Ski area has also shut down. For our area this is huge. Most restaurants and hotels have closed. Same with schools and many businesses. We are a major cross roads for tourists and commercial travel and traffic has slowed but is still fairly heavy. I'm of the mind that this is still growing and that we are all in for an interesting next couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fygjam Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) I’m 26. I don’t have any prior autoimmune or respiratory conditions. I work out six times a week, and abstain from cigarettes. I thought my role in the current health crisis would be as an ally to the elderly and compromised. Then, I was hospitalized for Covid-19. On Friday, March 13, only a few hours after deciding I would begin to socially distance for the well-being of others, I developed a fever and headache. I tried not to assume the worst, but just in case, my partner and I decided to sleep in separate bedrooms. By the next morning, I had a cough. On Sunday, I started to feel better and my fever was gone. I felt thankful that even if this was coronavirus, I’d most likely be able to ride it out at home, as I’d heard people like myself had little to worry about. I began planning the work I’d catch up on the next day, and the much-needed shower I’d take. That night I woke up in the middle of the night with chills, vomiting, and shortness of breath. By Monday, I could barely speak more than a few words without feeling like I was gasping for air. I couldn’t walk to the bathroom without panting as if I’d run a mile. On Monday evening, I tried to eat, but found I couldn’t get enough oxygen while doing so. Any task that was at all anxiety-producing — even resetting my MyChart password to communicate with my doctor — left me desperate for oxygen. There were many reasons that I didn’t want to go to the hospital. When I’d called 311 earlier in the weekend to inquire about a test, I was told people with Covid-19 symptoms must stay home. I’d read this same advice elsewhere, and wanted to do everything possible to prevent spreading the virus if I had it. I also was wary of taking doctors’ attention and hospital resources away from more vulnerable populations who might need them. Finally, I feared that if this wasn’t Covid-19, going to the hospital could expose me to the virus. Ultimately, even with my serious trouble breathing, a part of me believed I would be fine, since I was young and otherwise healthy. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/23/opinion/coronavirus-young-people.html So exactly how are we going to tell which 20% need to be isolated so the rest of us can get on with life?

fygjam Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Please check your farts! And if they don't smell... Losing your sense of smell could be one of the first signs you have COVID-19, Flinders University experts say. Ear nose and throat (ENT) surgeons said loss of smell was reported in one in three COVID19 patients in Korea and in Germany it was one in two patients. Flinders University Professor Simon Carney said the virus causes swelling in the nasal passages and mucus related to smelling and could be used as an indicator of the virus in symptom-free carriers of COVID-19. “It is these ‘silent carriers’ who may remain undetected by current screening procedures, which may explain why the disease has progressed so rapidly in so many countries around the world,” he said. “An ENT professor in London has reported seeing a dramatic increase in patients with anosmia as their only symptom of COVID-19 infection,” he said. As Australia struggles to contain the spread of COVID-19-10, identification of these carriers could help to slow the spread of infection. “In the UK, ENT surgeons are pushing to have anosmia (loss of smell) highlighted as an important symptom that may signify a patient may be an asymptomatic carrier,” says Professor Carney, immediate past president of the Australia and New Zealand Rhinologic Society. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/coronavirus-explained-what-you-need-to-know-about-getting-sick-treatment-and-future-vaccines/news-story/946cb4feb58433a5c09336ee9c7a9ff4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fygjam Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Mainly for Aussies but might have information for others. The TGA, not the most radical of organisations, has approved the following SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 test kits. POCT - point of care testing Laboratory - needs a laboratory to process the sample and provide results. IgG/IgM - immunoglobulin (antibody) blood test. Nucleic Acid - viral RNA/DNA test. https://www.tga.gov.au/covid-19-diagnostic-tests-included-artg-legal-supply-australia I don't think that approval of a kit necessarily means it's currently available.
