I haven't changed my shopping habits in any way. But I can see if you have a large family and ever-hungry kids, you might stock up a couple of weeks worth, if you're being told you might not be able to leave the house. For me, these aren't the culprits. There are a small percentage of people that are taking stuff just because it's there. Six months provisions - and then there are those that intend to sell it at a profit. I'd make that illegal in times of emergency. I believe it is in the US
I also read that the loss of smell and taste senses can be symptoms. My daughter, who lives with us, has lost both of theses senses and is also feeling light-headed and has chronic tiredness. She doesn't have a temperature or a cough, but maybe she has a mild dose of the virus. The sooner these antibody testing kits are available, the better.
Is loss of a sense of humour a symptom? Lot of that about...... The frustration of not knowing whether you have already have the virus and recovered must be immense. I had a couple of evenings where I was knackered and a bit shivery, but woke up fine the next day. Suspect I was just genuinely tired. If you know you have had it and have antibodies you can actually help with a lot of confidence. Looks like you lot in London are in the vanguard of this. But you should be out the other end earlier as a result.
Raab, Gove, Sunak and Hancock in a death battle to be named ‘designated survivor’ in the event of Boris going under. I really don’t give a flying ****, anyone have any strong preferences?
The only nagging question for me is that Wuhan is where China's main chemical weapons research takes place.

I'm ashamed to say this pub in my town refused to shut yesterday.... Police had to come and stop street fights and close the place down - hope they lose their licence too (it's a ****hole anyway!) https://www.google.com.br/amp/s/www...ing-government-orders-close-doors-2504696?amp
I'm not too sure about this, they're restricting space to exercise forcing people to share less space ...
That's wrong in my opinion. We're lucky enough to live next to Ruislip Woods and often walk to the lido and back, which is about a 3 mile round trip. People need to be able to use the open spaces in London.
I read this earlier today too. Utterly vile opportunistic behaviour. I’d hope his GMC license could be revoked as a result. Hardly in keeping with the Hippocratic oath.
We went for a nice long walk this morning and commented how lucky we are. We walk out of our front door and within 5 minutes we are out in the beautiful South Oxfordshire countryside.
Problem is the open spaces aren’t so open now there’s nowhere else to go. Playgrounds are mobbed with kids touching swings and playing. We’re showing every day that we can’t be trusted to do this sensibly so we’ll be confined to our homes for all but the essentials soon.
I think that's inevitable, I'm fortunate to have a garden, I feel sorry for those cooped up in flats...
Seems to me, the more dense the population is, the more likely the virus is to spread. We're a very densely populated country (England, anyway). And London is cheek by jowel. Part of the problem
Just back from walking the dog. Much better distancing discipline from the people making the most of this beautiful day, though we did have to cross the road a couple of times to avoid clumps of people oblivious to the needs of others. Also lucky enough to be within a stroll of open fields but after the recent deluges they are very muddy, and the prospect of washing the dog on return is too much to go on them at the moment. I dread being told that we can’t go for a stroll.
