I went to get the mail and without thinking opened by post box and grabbed my mail then saw one was from the far east which caused me to pause - then thinking, well the post has also been handled at the depot and the post man - and the same with the recycling bins and trash bins and its just goes on., No face mask available other than builder masks, no delivery slots from the super market. I will have to go visit the super market and be disciplined not to buy more then is needed..and we are still in the phoney stage of the plague..gulp

i was having same thought.post through door,where has it been ,who had contact etc.Booked car in garage this week....needs doing..they will be in my car,all over it,pay in office.Order goods,man from manchester delivered it,no gloves ,no mask.Havent seen any store workers with gloves on yet.Been on bus cant walk 10 miles and return by foot.When we try and unravel our interactions it becomes impossible.How long this virus stays alive on surfaces depends on the surface and moisture.If we def had a finite time,we could leave things in storage a while before use.Feels like a nightmare I keep waking up to over and over.2 years we will see the end probably.  |

Italy is running at 27980 + after a 24hr increase of 3233 with a further 349 dead.
Spain is running at 9428 + after a 24hr increase of 1440 with a further 41 dead.
The UK is a week or so ahead of Italy.

You meant UK is about a week behind Italy in infection/death rates?Ibruprofen and other anti inflammatorys aggravate the virus in that if you take it when infected you will probably get worse.This is from a doctor.Not clear as maybe if its bad anyway you will take it,so would have got worse anyway?All those with underlying health issues advised to self isolate for 12 weeks,aim being to lessen the swamping of the nhs.80 pc of population predicted to contract it.

It interferes with the way virus infection is fought and counter productive,you should use paracetamol.

I swallow them like smarties xxx It lowers fever.we have no vaccine at present.your body uses fever to slow or kill bugs.Also may inhibit activity of white blood cells. |

It suppresses the immune response production of histamine and protease thats why theyre discouraged.
Paracetamol reduces fever and body temperature thats why its prescribed for use in treating coronavirus symptoms.
