Sigh has anybody else on here shown symptoms? I ache all over, have the worst head ache especially behind the eyes, saw throat, no appetite however no temperature or cough? Obviously I'm following all recommended process just feel like shit. Last in contact with others apart from direct family Tuesday at work sent home on furlough since then. Might just be general cold/flu symptoms but can never be sure. Hopefully you haven’t got it. The best bet is to take paracetamol up to the maximum recommended dose and if your headache and aches are diminished you are probably OK. If you start to run a temperature please call 111 and take expert advice. All the best hope you feel better soon.

Apologies if already posted but this doesn't half boil.... Thick as pigshit. A less enlightened member of my extended family has done exactly this. At least he shouldn't be panic buying bog roll for the next 6 months though as he can barely get into his downstairs toilet for the towering bales of the stuff.

I've been quite intrigued by the bog roll panic buying, I could probably understand some folk stocking up on sugar related products, with it being addictive, but I'm struggling to get my head around the bog roll bit.

Can't understand why there in no hand sanitizer at the entrance to supermarkets. An easy basic policy that none of them seem to have considered.

Just before the lockdown in Spain 2 weeks ago the supermarkets were pretty rammed but the people on the checkouts were all wearing gloves and were cleaning/wiping the checkout area after each customer. Again, easy to implement but seems we haven't bothered, or at least we hadn't when I last went into a store 3 days ago.

Thanks for that Stripey. God, I’m glad I don’t have grown children to miss. Mine are all here in our coop, safely under my wing. “ If we turn our gaze to the more distant future, the future which is unknown both to you and to us too, we can only tell you this: when all of this is over, the world won’t be the same.” I’m not one for quoting Churchill but here’s one:- If you find yourself going through Hell, Don’t stop!

Very well written and thought provoking. Nothing to disagree with there really. Look at Italy, see it’s turmoil.That is our future and it won’t take long to get here. Meanwhile in my village gangs of teenagers are hanging around in groups every evening. I despair ☠️ ⚓️

I'm not up to date with this thread, but a friend of mine in the US has exactly the same symptoms as set out in the link and he scared to go to a hospital and does not know which one to pick if he does. He is already bankrupt through medical bills, so I guess they can't make him more financially broke. Stomach pain could indicate COVID-19 without other symptoms

There's a fantastically simple depiction of the principle of social distancing on this BBC article under the heading "Why everyone should be social distancing" www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52056111

Perhaps the GTech ones don't work. When I saw one on Midlands Today it looked very rudimentary like something I'd knock up in me shed from a watering can and an old football bladder. To be fair I think that's where he knocks up his vacuums. (which are very good)Really ?, they must have improved from the Air ram i bought a couple of years which went to the tip and went in the skip marked "not fit for purpose tat"

Might just be general cold/flu symptoms but can never be sure. I'm pretty sure I've just got flu/a general cold. I've been lethargic for the last 4 days or so. It started with a sore throat and a mild temperature which only lasted the night. Since then I've had a constant head ache and blocked sinuses but just been taking paracetamol has been fine. I keep getting the odd stomach ache and now my taste and smell have gone but no real cough and the temperature didn't last long at all.

We have a Dyson animal which is great but a bit on the bulky side. Hang on a minute! A poster, called 'Henry' criticising other vacuum cleaners? I've cracked the case! Attachment Deleted

The more they test, the less dangerous it appears as the ratio of deaths to cases will be lowered, and that wouldn't stoke up enough fear. The ratio of deaths to the POPULATION is what they should consider. It's pretty obvious!

Scrub your knobs and knockers is the advice in the Daily Star. Sensible basic personal hygiene. But with what?? I've tried to bought it here for a month, and last time I asked the cashier in the food store and he said: "We are not allowed to sell hand disinfectant here no more, all goes to the hospitals". To overcome the lack of this important item, Absolut Vodka, (yes, the booze manufacturer), has decided to start producing a version to food stores. I don't know if there are any side effects ...

Problems lying down and with any physical activity, occasionally problems breathing. I really hope it's caused by me running into a cupboard 10 days ago, since there are no other symptoms. 😒

Soap. Alcohol based hand sanitiser isn't essential at all, in fact they recommend using soap over that, as the hand sanitisers evaporate within seconds due to the alcohol, meaning that you can't clean for as long or as thoroughly as you can with soap and water.

I'm safe then. Got me 2 of those plus one bottled.
