There's a chance  you may have had the  virus already as some cases are symptomless apparently.
 A bit OT but a lot of information re corona seems to be conflicting and the measures introduced are being enforced inconsistently to say the least (packed trains during rush hour while people in parks are being apprehended by the police)

I mean its not like the virus is capable of cognition and distinguishes where social contact absolutely essential.

There's a chance  you may have had the  virus already as some cases are symptomless apparently.

It's come up already earlier in the thread, but given the nature of our job I would be amazed if a significant number of us hadn't had it already, especially anybody who was working in Londom towards the back end of February/start of March. I wouldn't have put the symptoms I had down to CV unless my friend had told me that a number of them were textbook, because I never had a fever or a cough - I'm as certain as I can be that I've had it (and so was the NHS symptom checker when I looked) but whilst I felt dog rough for a couple of days and under the weather for a couple of weeks I was far more ill.when I had norovirus and also when I had flu in my twenties.

The problem is that until there's widespread antibody testing, this fear is going to continue and the endless whipping up by the media to sell their shitrags isn't helping.

I 've had  the symptoms Nov last year, but back then corona wasn't the 'thing'

Well nobody is going to be laid low because somebody else has a bug - they have to catch it first. And nothing's guaranteed (see Nadine Dorries who was far more ill than her mum, despite her mum being in her mid-eighties, I think). But yes, that sounds like a cold. From the information I could glean from the symptom checker, if you don't have any symptoms below the neck itt's unlikely to be a lower respiratory infection.

Back on topic, I had three variously dumb emails on AW this morning all wanting bookings either today or over the weekend - my autoreply will have got them and I don't plan to log in before the middle of next week at least, but I obviously overestimated the reading and comprehension ability of the site users as ever, and I'm going to have to sledgehammer it in words of one syllable.if I want any peace .

And now I don't think anything we have been drip fed regarding info on this virus is really worth believing 100%. I personally research stuff and read scientific papers and studies because I am deeply into nutritional health. And the guy that's advised our government on what we should do had his bit on the side visit him during lockdown for a bunk up, Makes me questions the experts that have been employed to give advice. We need to get natural immunity( just my personal opinion) because we can't live like this any longer than a month and it's down to our immune systems and our mental health too. The financial loss for us WGs and so may professions is going to be huge.

In my village today VE day street party gatherings. I think common sense is needed and I don't plan on living isolated and in fear. Be interesting to see in six months time if anything comes to light.

I've personally had and dealt with anxiety myself and family. So I do feel for anyone feeling anxious right now, Its a horrible feeling and unless you've had it, you cant understand how something like lockdown and isolation can magnify things plus the worry of financial insecurity and routine. I do hope anyone with anxiety can have some support right now.

I personally feel lockdown damaged
us on many fronts, economy,
eduction for kids, "forgotten people" like,
men who need paid companies, people,
Who are already isolated socially and physically..
disabled people..

The virus was alerted a few years ago,
It must have been going around much,
much longer, I agree, many of
Us had it and recovered, or body
learned to live with it etc. lockdown was a
stupid idea.

It's only been around a few months, not years - that's why we locked down, because we don't know all the ins and outs of the pathology, epidemiology etc. It's always been a case of balancing public health versus the economy.

i was thinking about booking a hotel next weekend is it to soon?
