Coronavirus: Isolation for over-70s 'within weeks'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51895873


Surely that can only be an "advisory"? They can't force folk to do it can they?

Says it's advice, and 'reduce social contact', so not quite imprisonment.

I'm 39 and I already do all of that, so no problem for me Cheesy

Stupidest question of the day.


Sophie Ridge asks Matt Hancock: "Can you guarantee that everyone who needs a respirator will get one?"

For those that need it, the NHS advice is here

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/

I am not sure how old people are going to be able to get good advice on this; it isn't even that clear to me, and I have got google.  Imagine how it must be if you are in your 80s and your source of news is the Daily Express?

My youngest has a cough, it isn't even a bad one and she hasn't had a temperature, but it has been hanging round since last week.  Given she is young, she would get mild symptoms, so the cautious thing to do would be to keep her off school?  So I ring the school and they don't seem clear either.  So I think there should be a flowchart for what the government wants us to do, and I just can't find one.  She is at home right now, but is there much point if 80% of the other parents whose kids have a cough are sending them in?  and given the end reult of the Government plans, even if not the intention, is that most people get it, shouldn't I be just getting her as much schooling as possible?

This seems solid and is written by a doctor

https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/doctor-note-ibuprofen-coronavirus-worse-200316045046677.html

So use paracetamol if you can.

Which newspapers are saying it is fake news?

edit.  FWIW The french minister's tweet is still there.  You'd think it would br taken down if wrong.

If you have to take ibuprofen and think you have covid19 speak to a doctor.
