Certainly not on the front line, would be helping to run a national ICU bed register, that would be real time and hopefully help to ensure as many people receive ICU as need it. I set up a similar system, but just based around Sheffield, Nottingham, Leicester and surrounding hospitals. That was many years ago and is no longer in use.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
@punkdoc echo what others say about putting yourself first - but that might mean going for it - we know that you get a lot of satisfaction helping others out in a crisis. I wouldn’t let the reactions on here colour your thoughts about the value you would provide to those who are seeking your opinion in difficult times.
Didn’t go to Paris in the end. Was struck low with a tummy bug on Monday afternoon and only just resurfacing. I’m hoping it was something they fed me on the plane, otherwise it means the endless hand washing and sanitising was all in vain, and that would be a shame 🙄
We are alternating between blue skies and hailstorms ......definitely March ☔️☀️☔️🌨☀️
That's a shame @chicky. Maybe just as well. I've just seen a post on FB about Germany closing the borders with France and day now. Some 'wit has quipped about closed borders not stopping the Germans in '14 and '40.

Thanks 🙏🏻 @Dovefromabove and @Obelixx. Virtual hugs are good. As is virtual conversation.......think I will be valuing my friends here very highly in weeks to come 😀😀😀. (Not that I haven’t always valued you highly, maybe now just a teensy bit highlier 😉)
Ireland seems to be getting its act together a little faster than Britain, where I fear the horse may be found to have bolted by the time the stable door is shut... schools are now closed and big gatherings of any sort are not allowed. We are discouraged from using public transport, and encouraged to work from home. At the moment the builders are still coming, at least until the end of the week, but if they decide to call a halt, at least we have a watertight, insulated and heated house. The rest can wait if necessary.
Social isolation is fairly easy to achieve in rural Ireland - but I fear we're going to have to stop travelling to Britain for a bit. Social media has its uses, and we're getting plenty of photos and videos of our 2-year-old grandson on WhatsApp to cheer us up...
Our garden has fields on three sides, so talking to cows is definitely an option.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Thanks @Fairygirl, @Dovefromabove and @Lizzie27 - I'm only removing dust from places which matter, like the kitchen table, hob and worktops, and cleaning the bathroom and door handles etc to try to keep the Youknowwhat at bay. The whole house gets swept once a day but other than that it can wait... and yes, Lizzie, the ceiling removal was intentional! It was the only route by which the utility - in a rather eccentric extension, formerly with a flat roof - could be insulated.
Hope you feel properly well soon, @chicky. Tummy bugs are horrid.

We are flying back to France on Tuesday. Dordogne had 3 cases, 2 were a couple who had been on holiday in Brittany, they are now in Limoges Hospital so Dordogne is clear. I just hope the flight isn't cancelled.
I found another old beamy pub so we went there for a drink and a snack lunch today. We had a first course each, very nice, big helpings of good pub grub, not expensive. I'm beginning to sound like a Trip Adviser reviewer! thompsonchequers.co.uk/
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
