Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Me and the missus had the dry cough for a few days last week. Wife had a fever for a couple of hours one night, I didn't. Then felt tired. She had a sore throat. I came out in a sudden and very heavy cold. Streaming for a day then gone. We were both then fine. That was over a week ago. Since then I have been back running and back up to full speed. Then today I have been zonked, just drained of energy. Its odd and not like anything I have had before. Fine again now. So bloody frustrating we cant find out yet if we have had it or just some other bug.

Daft I know..
But do you think you've had it ?
Going off the info we've got.

I think so because the cough was not something I have ever had before. I felt a tightening of the chest too but I may have been being paranoid. But it ended with a mad blocked nose which doesnt really fit. I am behaving as if I haven't but the cough makes me think I have. What I have had is unusual, best I can describe it. Is tbat how you have felt about it? Hope you are on the mend. Bloody love Toast btw. Another series needed. Damn that Fandango.

The fact he went at 8.05pm just after the queen on telly is odd. ( according to BBC )
Immediately saying it
wasnt in an ambulance was also odd, he'd have gone in a fast motor with blue lights I'd imagine ?
I honestly hope he comes through it and I think him and especially the chancellor can see this out.

I'm Labour usually but I hope he makes it.
I hope we all do.

Yep classic flu. But I have heard a couple of diagnosed cases have had a cold at then end. Its possible that people just react differently to expelling a virus but I am just speculating. They need to get the tests out asap. Yeah I am dozing more than usual too. Ray Purchase does not surprise me, damn him. Take it easy squire.

And that's the rub. Him and his type wouldn't give a toss if a working class dad died. We know why they hate us cos we know why we hate them.

Too political for me to reply properly I'm afraid mate.
But I get where you are coming from.

Coronavirus: Tiger at Bronx Zoo tests positive for Covid-19

The Bronx Zoo in New York says this case of human-to-animal transmission appears to be unique.

Tiger is called Azul.
This is a wind up surely ?

Normally I would agree that it seems silly to waste a test on an animal. But scientifically speaking this seems important as up until now not one agency has said animals could get it. Think about that. If they now can that brings a new element of what to do with our domestic pets?

How vulnerable are they compared too us etc... it might make US states now tell people that walking dogs is essential and that they must now be kept home and more importantly indoors.

Seems like dogs are OK but cats could catch it from their owners

Thats okay, most cats naturally practice social distancing

....there must’ve been rumours Johnson was unwell because reporters have been asking Ministers about his well being recently.

My daughter works front-line NHS and says Johnson will have access to private experts who can treat him at home so he must be very poorly to be taken to a virus ridden London hospital.
