Arjan Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 😄 Think the dogs disagree... This should keep them happy for 6-7 weeks Horses are not too worried, either, as they have hay and 3 hectare.. We can go to the shops - with paperwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 We're all going to have to adjust to this. My local LR group has cancelled the monthly meeting. Some of the older members are a bit nervous about what all this means, so we'll all have to ensure that we keep in touch. This will change a lot of things, in good ways and bad. Stay strong, stay well, we'll get through. Until they release the zombie virus. . . . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Yesterday we discovered that my Father-in-law was about to go to his village meeting about how to collectively support the vulnerable in the community. The only thing is, he's 93 and should really be practising social distancing. We suggested that he didn't go. Today he's going to use Facetime, having used Skype years ago but now his IT dexterity is waning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallfry Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Mother in Law is concerned about all the "poor elderly people" locally. She is a very active, all the lights on and oars in the water 78 😄 Strange feeling today around here. Like that unnatural calm and quiet just before it snows.

neil110 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 it is all a government plot designed to cull the sick and elderly, thus reducing the pressure on the NHS, the welfare state, pensions, the housing shortage and no doubt numerous others. Catch it now while the NHS still has facilities to treat you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallfry Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I might have already had it. Last week I had headache, sore throat, runny nose and sneezing. Felt nothing different that I have had before, just a cold IMO, but just in case reported to the GP and told to stay at home. No testing though, so who knows ?

No fever or chills but the common cold/allergy symptoms. I can even hold my breath for over 10 seconds with any chest pain or discomfort.

Quite, in fact that has been the government plan all along, allow the healthy and fit to get it, then when they are recovered they can look after the more vulnerable after they come out of isolation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Happyoldgit Posted March 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2020 I have a 22 year old son and 18 year old daughter still living at home, he is in engineering and she is still at college. Son's company has been taking the Covid 19 issue extremely seriously and daughter was sent home along with the rest of her course yesterday as there were not enough students present to make the course sustainable for now. So far so good except daughter was given some concert tickets for her birthday recently and despite my strong advice she and her friend took themselves off to Wembley on the train last Thursday. Well that would be four trains in total there and back. They did some shopping, went to the concert, stayed in a hotel, did some more shopping then returned home. Except I banned her from the house and she is now residing in our living van out in our back paddock with only our horses for company. There's heat, 240v, cooker, fridge, tv, radio, double bed etc out there so it's not that much of a hardship. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 I’ve been told to work from home. It’s all a bit weird. I’ve been through the process of thinking about whether I visit my mum. She’s old and not in the best of health and will need shopping - but the guidance and the sensible option seems to be keep away, particularly as my little girl is still in school so we are effectively in contact with hundreds of people. Yet there’s loads of people out there still going to work and mixing quite freely. I guess even if the likelihood is very small the impact for her is potentially huge.
