I watched the 4.30 pm press conference and they said the 14 days is for entire households to self-isolate, 7 days for the person who had it and 7 days for the others. I don't really remember why but it made sense at the time. Maybe if you're a billy no mates it's just the first 7 you need? IIRC - 7 days of you being infectious and passing it on followed by 7 days of them being infectious and passing it on equals 14 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) The UK Scout Association has just announced that all face to face activities "must" be cancelled until further notice, regardless of whether they're around each other at the same kids at school. Certain leaders shall face the hardship of taking Friday nights off in place of dealing with a select bunch of ungrateful wee whippersnappers. A shame for the well-behaved ones though.

buchan30 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 As much as i have laughed and joked about this. I do worry a little bit about catching it. I work in the healthcare profession and so does my wife and it is a concern, more that i will get it and possibly pass it onto the boys. Plus i hate being unwell and unable to just get on with things. As far as i am aware i am healthy enough and should recover were i to get it. I just wouldn’t want the guilt of the family picking it up. I got a bit frustrated at the football the other week, where people still weren’t washing their hands, despite this getting worse and it being a possible way of preventing it spreading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a separate point, but people are measuring the success of containment methods through time periods of a few weeks, when actually it's going to be many months before we see the full extent of measures countries are taking. Some countries will be holding back the virus relatively well in the short term but are just going to feel worse effects in a few months. People are holding up China as an example but I'll be interested to see in a year's time what their situation is like.

I got a call from my surgery last week asking what my appointment for this Wednesday was for. When I explained what it was for I was told to go ahead. Nearly/all non urgent (or what is deemed non urgent) appointments have been cancelled. One of the doctors in the practice is taking no more appointments and is just seeing those those that are already booked. Got a call from the hospital this evening saying my chest clinic review was off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a kick in the arse off being 40 and i have never seen anything like this. The reaction, the measures being put in place etc. And i think that is what is worrying me. There doesn’t seem to be a set plan and it changes everyday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Your posts in this thread remind me of Big Gay Al from south park. Not really sure what that’s meant to imply, but cheers. Anyway, guy at works neighbour text him earlier asking if they could use his freezer for a couple of weeks while he’s away, as they’ve “stocked up”. He told them to f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/infections-and-poisoning/coronavirus-covid-19 The latest advice in Scotland is above. If you have the cough and high temperature you should isolate for 7 days. Everyone else in the household has to isolate for 14 days. That's the advice now but it will no doubt change as and when required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
