Make them adopt safe hygiene practices at least.

I just dont understand how in the year 2020 this is still legal. Unreal honestly.

Hopefully laws will be passed world wide to ban live animal markets. Absolutely disguising, unsafe, and a giant disease breeding ground.

They are already doing that in China.

I know Shenzhen banned cats and dogs and I'm sure I read they are banning all of it in the near future hopefully.

They will definitely pass new, strict, laws in China, that's for sure.

And even more certain is the government will turn a blind eye to the millions of people ignoring the new laws.

They will still be found all over the place, these markets.

Did you read the post I responded to mate? it was saying that there have been 2 testing centres set up in London specifically for NHS staff, and that neither are being used, or are sparingly used. There's also capacity for 11,000 tests a day but only 8,000 are being tested. That is presumably because the other 3,000 are reserved for NHS staff, but very few are turning up to the testing centres.

Some people are being tested more than once mate, there were some stats on it the other day, and it was quite a high proportion. I forget exactly what the numbers were, but it was something like 9000 tests carried out on 7000 people. It didn't explain exactly why, but I'd guess that when the test was being taken, something went wrong. Until the number of available tests is noticeably more than what's needed in hospital, then the number of tests carried out on NHS staff will be limited

There are about half a million clinicians ( doctors, nurses , midwifes etc ) working in the NHS. Even if only 10% of them are off-sick or self isolating, you'd need 50,000 tests to check them all. Even if there were 3000 available test slots a day, it'd take more than two weeks to test that backlog, by which time most of them would be out of isolation anyway, hence the prioritising.

I'd prioritise those at home if it were me

That's exactly what they're doing.

be careful - I think I had it, but only had a fever for one day. The rest was shortness of breath, tight chest, dizziness and fatigue for about 4 days, then a gradual recovery

This is day three of quarantine for me, I've had the shivers, banging headache, fatigue and the pains in my legs have been horrendous. I've been warm to the touch but no fever and I have a new cough but it isn't continuous. In short I've no idea what it is.

 

[Catfish Blues]

I've been warm to the touch

As far as I'm concerned, you always are mate. Bit of hot stuff you are

Truly amazing job by S Korea, that super spreader event in the Korean church could have easily got out of hand.

Hope you start to feel better soon mate, take it easy and rest up as much as you can.
