Noticed that earlier. Too much crack in the air for the virus to get a toehold?

Just getting back to HOL after a fortnight away. Reassured to find our little world as introverted as ever. Try to look on the bright side. When your supermarket shelves are out of bread and pasta and the butchers are clean out of meat, there won't be any run on toilet rolls or Andrex washlets and hand sanitisers will be last month's story.

Introvert? Moi? I guess the heading suggest that.. Nevertheless, I'm more worried about cases in Westminster and on the Victoria line, seeing as that's where I spend most of my time.

On a positive note, Med-chem are flogging 50ml hand sanitisers for £4.99 each. Nice to see an ex Labour Party Councillor milking capitalism like it's a money udder...

I know seriously, i just came back from lidl, and was shocked by the massive queue. I did congratulate the peeps with loads of toilet paper in their baskets. They didn't get my sarcasm. Whilst as usual, i stocked up on my essentials of alcohol and chocolate

But seriously< i don't get this hysteria, I never saw it mentioned about alcohol gel. i only heard to wash your hands. much more effective. yes a large proportion of us with come down with the flu, and yes for the majority of us it will be a nuisance, And don't see we can do much to avoid that eventually. But then thankfully i cycle to work. maybe that will encourage more people to get on their bikes

But yes for the frail, old patients, this is serious, and these are really the people public health are trying to protect with their measures. I'm telling them to huckle down for next few months, avoid public transport etc. And these really vulnerable people seem to be the most rational about it

the one thing I'm taking is echinacea to boost my immune system, eat and drink as healthily as possible again to boost your immune system. So if and when i come in contact with the virus, my body is stronger to shrug it off

And Did the health minster Nadine Dorries miss the message about washing her hands. I mean seriously you couldn't make it up. lol

I never said get on your bike, although yes maybe some people will see it as a safer option. I was just saying, that having hand gel or not is not that significant in the bigger scale of things

I gave some useful advice about how to boost your immune system,so if and when you get it, you can shrug it off more easily. I work in the front line, surrounded my sick patients, who don’t seem to have got the message that they shouldn’t come to the surgery if they are unwell. The fact that the majority of us atwork are likely to catch the virus at some point, is being prepared for. I’m certainly not worried about it, and just being sensible. And the craze on handgel, means we now have to tape ours down, to stop people stealing it. Just wash your hands, much more effective
