Coronavirus in the UK

[Cleoriff]

The BBC have announced that two patients in the UK have been diagnosed with the coronavirus.

No further details have been given other than they are both members of the same family and are receiving specialist NHS care.

At present, 83 Britons and 27 foreign nationals are flying back to the UK from Wuhan, the Chinese city at the centre of the outbreak.

The flight is due to land at RAF Brize Norton at 13:30 GMT.

The UK passengers will then be taken to Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral and quarantined for two weeks.

We're all rather frustrated and stressed out over it all

You are very articulate.

Well done your neighbour and thank you for letting us know.

I have a Bubble Buddy ... Yeah! ... 

An old friend

We have kept in touch through various ups and downs

Official letter through letterbox states people who live on their own can 'buddy up' with another household

Can't tell you what it is like not to hear a voice for days on end ... I greet the Morrisons delivery man like he is my long lost uncle lolz

This nice guy did some shopping for me and himself yesterday and called in for a cuppa and chat on his way home

What a difference this is going to make to my mental / emotional health

The new advice from the Government is now to contact the NHS to get your jab 119 if 70+

If you remember, that's how I got mine. By ringing 119 and going round in circles for a while until I sussed the system

I'm pleased I did though because booking online just gives me Birmingham as my nearest option (20 miles away). When I got through to 119, they gave me my local chemist as an option. Of course I chose that route.
