I sat in Morrison's carpark for half an hour today and the place was rammed. I was expecting it to be a ghost town but it was full of the 'vulnerable' people who are supposed to be staying at home. Most were just potching about and not buying much so it wasn't essential shopping trips for the most part. I saw a few people in masks or using scarfs as masks and assumed that they were infected people since the advice is that only the infected need to use them. I imagine they were just paranoid though. Driving home I saw loads of people out in the streets not worrying about keeping their distance or anything. If it keeps up like this we might as well not bother trying to reduce the spread.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

Age UK have asked that this message gets passed on.
This statement instantly triggers doubt.. its a line used in all hoax/malware/annoying rubbish/fake "warnng" emails...etc . Its similar to "Dear Customer" instead refering to you by name or if the content contains "I heard"or "I was told"
The object of "pass it on" is to block up servers with fake rubbish, cause unnecessay panic or spread malicious code or malware.
Most, not all, but most, unsolicited email should be deleted.
As the message originated from a trusted friend who actually works for Age UK - I think that was made fairly clear in the original post - I'm quite prepared to accept it as legit. My friend would not have been as unprofessional as to send something that might be incorrect.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
I believe that it can persist on a hard surface for up to three days. My car has been MOT'd this morning. Lovely lads, but I wiped down the steering wheel and gear knob with dettol wipes. I have also wiped down all our door handles. Then I washed my hands. We went to B&Q and also wiped down the trolley handles.
RHS has just cancelled all flower shows and school visits until the end of June. So no Malvern show, Chelsea or Chatsworth flower show.
Ladybird thanks so much for that advice it was repeated today by an expert on Radio 4. He also advises letting temperature stay high if possible as it helps to kill the virus if it doesn’t make you feel too bad.

Nobody really knows about NSAIDS, but it is certainly much more likely to be true.
