good question laura

Teachers with underlying conditions have been self-isolating for the own protection despite not having the virus.

And many schools have already closed due to staff shortages.

Schools never miss a chance to close down and take a break.

About time ffs two weeks too late,always us lagging behind anyway at least cheltenham was on,what could possibly go wrong?

We are still adopting the herd immunity policy, Vallance currently knocking one out everytime he sees a packed pub

hard surfaces, doors,door knobs etc etc listed as been high points of spread are their teams of scienctists etc going round taking random samples tp prove how much
its very confusing keep hearing sneeze in a  hankie,into sleeve etc ,but then sneezing isn't a symptom ,so why would you be doing frequent,abnormal sneezing  if sneezing isn't a main symptom, heard dr hilliary say today sore throats arnt a symptom, if normal colds, sneezes ,sore throats are a sign of a mild dose without the rasping cough ,millions could be spreading it unaware,

surely the 1st thing to rule out or in ,is you cant have the virus without a cough but as people have got it tested positive with no symptons at all,they cant

Yes many of those who've got it don't know they've got it - that's how serious it is if you're healthy.

^ The key word in your appraisal is ... "IF"

- ".....if normal colds, sneezes ,sore throats are a sign of a mild dose without the rasping cough ,millions could be spreading it unaware,"

- Because - 'If' - they have any of the above - WITHOUT - a fever or continual DRY cough ...
- Then they have just got a usual winter COLD.

bigger danger = kids spreading it more at at school   taking it home to parents

how do you if theres 100,s with no symptons at all tested positive,

You can have the virus with no symptoms at all but if you were someone to buckle from it then the symptoms you would display would be through a high temp or cough.

Again someone who has it but displays no symptoms will still have normal bodily functions i.e. a sneeze, so if someone who had it sneezed, they wouldn't be doing so as a consequence of the illness but they could still transmit it to someone who might then end up being brought down from it.

the science only stands up if everyone tested positive has a cough,which it clearly doesn't, so if you can have no symptons and test positive its foookking obvious you can have normal cold,flu symptons and test positive, or I,m thick as foooook and missing something

Many have tested positive without any symptoms at all.

and maybe you can have certain symptons for 1,2,3,4 days and the cough comes in last to some people

The number of positive cases without any symptoms, brings the accuracy of the test into question.

When I was a kid I had chicken pox , measles , mumps and even pneumonia . Everyone whose died has been on their last legs or suffering from serious medical issues . Nine thousand deaths worldwide and in the same period forty thousand deaths from measles and three hundred thousand road deaths......

"my daughter has a fever and cough, so we're in self isolation for 14 days"

like are we seriously falling for this nonsense?

We get colds at this time of year, people are ALWAYS coughing even in summer, people get fevers at least once a week and don't even know it ffs, the body is fighting invaders all the time, we go for a jog and our temp goes up

People really do like to be lied to

We’ve all had the start of a cold.flu that never comes to anything. That’s what seems to be happening here.

As for shutting schools, surely schools provide containment of people??

all republicans partying on the beach ,filling the bars,night clubs because trumpy said it was a hoax now they think he,s lying when he says its serious,
seems like time to send del boy in and do his rioting sketch

Classic BBC: In France, the number of confirmed cases grew by more than 16% on Tuesday, reaching 7,730, while the death toll rose to 175, with 7% of the dead aged under 65.


Trying to suggest 7% is high. 93% over 65. That stat is similar to pneumonia deaths.

Inj

They are passing on flu stats almost This whole thing has been done now because we are the back end of flu season, so the numbers coming out are basically the flu numbers.

SS - 10k flu deaths in the US by Feb this year.

Shh, no context allowed.

I thought her question was  stunningly stupid ;she was grandstanding by asking Boris how long the schools would be closed for. Even the cretins on this forum would realise that nobody could give a definitive answer.

I wouldn't be surprised to see my grandmas name come up on the news, she died of pneumonia in December and we had her funeral in Jan

They will try to use real names soon trust me, people are getting wise to the not named victims, so get ready because it might just be your granny or grandad who gets a mention

1000 workers self isolating from Sellafield been dodging glowing yellow water for 40 years

I've just about had a dose of the good ole fashioned bull **** from Sky News

"can schools give out self learning kits for us parents to use"

My grandad would have had an absolute laugh with all this bless him, he'd be sitting there giggling his backside off at it

I suppose he is on the other side

"another concerned parent question. Can we go for a walk?"

At least South America have had the good grace to stick their footy on, thank Christ for small mercies

Have you any numbers, percentage, please?

Hard to evaluate - When most tests are only being made on people showing symptoms

I said this yesterday

Once ANY bacteria gets into the body its immediately attacked, it doesn't play peekaboo hide and seek for 7 days ("incubation")

Viruses don't get in and put in a balaclava and hide behind the lung ffs

Feedback from an NHS nurse.



Hospital is eerily empty. Normal respiratory admissions  of heavy smoking.malingers seem to have got better



No elderly Asian grandmas with zero english and questionable passports have gone awol



A&e getting about 20 a day instead of 200.

Mmmmmmm

Are people talking?

Hard to evaluate - When most tests are only being made on people showing symptoms

They were doing random tests, but I don't believe they are now.

But that actor in the news recently who tested positive wasn't showing any symptoms

I'm sorry I haven't got any figures.

None of them display symptoms

Idris Elba made a video yesterday and said he had this thing and yet started flapping his gums about division and needing to come together

What's the name of this nurse?

I dunno pp it was another forum post

But I went to a hospital yesterday and nothing, tried to ask how many people had been for the karachi and they asked me to leave

I guess they were busy

Always a security guard in my local phrma centre so struggle to snoop around

So it was probably just made up?

Could well be yes

But in my local hospital there was no masks and it looked normal service from what I was able to see

And why on earth would anyone snoop about in a hospital asking the staff questions?

This wasn't the nurse out of misery was it?

To see if what I'm reading from the media is true PP

And so far no it isn't, might have to have another look in a few days time, but they'll know people might be coming now so they'll be on the look out

Poor question, Liz.

Tell all those folks in Italy ( 475 in the last 24 hours) that are pretending to be dead, that you have sussed them out.

super canute sanatogen making himself very busy on this subject. its a conspiracy cooked up by the elites, who make a good job of pretending to hate each other in public but hatch mind-bogglingly complex and murderous plots behind the scenes. and nobody blows the whistle. except sanatogen.

cant wait for his climbdown when even an idiot like him has to give this one up.

but it all comes from foreign asian parts  - have you clued up any of you?
