Too late now.No wonder Sth Korea and Singapore are p**sed off after the lengths they've gone to.

A report from China of some success with Vitamin C. That would be a nice cheap solution.https://www.globalresearch.ca/three-intravenous-vitamin-c-research-studies-approved-treating-covid-19/5705405Whatever getting extra vitamin C now is a good idea. It helps the immune system. A little and often is best, keep sipping a carton of orange juice.
Schools will be shut nationwide by next Monday at the latest. Universities too, although many have already made the decision for the Govt

Ive a lad at primary skool..
Did anyone actually have any faith in the decision makers in the UK actually doing a good job of this? It was obvious they would make a mess of it. Slow to react, indecisive and probably worst of all they make decisions based on factors other than what if the right thing to do.
Isolation for me!Started yesterday with what I thought was a bit of hay-fever. Scratchy eyes, sneezing, foggy head. Today, dry cough. Had a call earlier from the missus and was told the school had sent home my two boys who have started with a dry repetitive cough. Got to be honest and say that I feel like a bloody fraud.I never have time off unless I can't physically get out of bed. I don't know if I have it or not and I'm still pissed off with the scaremongering but still doing the right thing and staying at home for a few days.#prayfornudga#washyourf**kinhands

Let's hope the similarity extends to more than just a liking for the bottle.
Possibly the best perspective I've seen on this. Be warned, not immediately simple to follow, but is very clear.

Ive a lad at primary skool..It's my prediction.Based on the assumption that our Govt will make logical, rational decisions, so I entirely accept that it may be flawed. Seriously, I cannot see how anyone can read that Imperial College paper from last night and not realise that we are going into very serious lockdown from next week at the earliest.

I.e. is this is a typical flu/corona season or not based on what we would usually expect in a normal year vs. the year we are currently in.I do agree with the broad issue that the testing is all over the place, and I do not understand how any scientist infers anything with a degree of confidence from the data we have.
The Aus gov't is not closing schools saying that we would lose 1/3 of medical staff having to stay home to look after them and the possibility that grandparents would look after a lot of them and be at further risk.
It's hard to know, if the figures are right about the numbers of parents working in the medical field? but they could be taking a gamble that kids mixing at school don't get it and pass the virus on to these same parents.

Kids are potentially super spreaders, one gets infected goes to school for a week without symptoms and the majority have it. Then they go home in the evening and mum and dad get it.
