    Wise move then, but probably regular flu

    I was I was training at the gym this lunchtime and a guy gets on the treadmill beside me, despite the row being empty, and starts coughing. I finish my session and who turns up while I’m changing? Same guy coughing and sniffling changing right next to me.

    Its impolite on normal days, quite annoying today. 

    And no I’m not self isolating in response :)
  • Went to Mark's and spencer today where they normally have a lovely spring display of plants or chocolates something seasonal .today, stacks of loo paper!! Really put me off.complanied to a member of staff to tell the management!she said they'd been told to wash their hands every hour! Too excessive surely

    M&S shouldn't be buying into this stockpiling nonsense. But they are happy to line their check out aisles with sweets, in a land of obseity. So, I guess it comes as no surprise that they are trying to cash in on the virus.

    Went to Lidl today and there were plenty of toilet roll there were so many on the  shelves I couldn't get them all in my car I had to make two trips.
  • Ha Ha , Good for you Barry Island, just hope you don’t need them all . Could you tell me if a partner is told to isolate themselves, does the other half have to stay, or can they stay somewhere else. Valerie

    If it concentrates all the panic into one pile , that is fine by me.  I would never think of buying loo roll in M&S.
    Hostafan, your friend wasn't at the Notts Forest Footbal match last Friday, was he. The owner  has gone down with it.

    Just had the shopping delivered. Feel like a panic buyer. Usually only get a four pack of loo rolls, but they had run out so had to get a 9 pack! Never have I bought one before! ☺🤣

    I'd like to think that if my wife or I get the virus , we'll stay with each other .
    Another question here ; is the disease transferable to domestic pets???
    We're crawling with neighbours cats around here , sitting on wheelie-bins etc.
    Without stating the obvious , contact with inanimate objects could pose another risk .
