Oh yes. Hopefully it is still helpful for some people though. The prepayment meters etc could be helpful to people here though regardless of financial issues. (Getting company to help pay the prepayment meter if they can’t get out of the house etc). The first line is about food stops - those...

Hi, Even if you are unable to register for support as the “extremely vulnerable” group; I have found out that there are still resources at local councils (depending on the council), where they provide services for others experiencing hardship. It is worth checking your local council. My...

There are some cloth masks online eg Etsy. I bought a couple of them a week or so ago.

Yes, I’m aware that was the reason why, but there was also the messaging that they were not actually useful - when they are. People I spoke to about it here have said to me they’re not useful, that was their understanding. And I had to explain about droplets as I had done some research into...

I’ve always thought this @shak8 My friend who lives in Dubai, said everyone there wears masks now for the coronavirus outbreak. Out on the street but also in the grocery shops, delivery drivers, packers etc. They also sanitise the street and surfaces there. I note that in Europe and US this...

If you can tell me what borough council they’re in (or PM me), I can try to find out more info. As there is info relevant to each council.

Not a rumour. Was on newsnight a few days ago (I posted about it earlier on). Edit: here :) https://www.s4me.info/threads/coronavirus-worldwide-spread-and-control.13287/page-80#post-247694

Well how can clinicians make their patients aware of the risks, when they themselves do not believe there are any risks, because of what the NICE guidelines say? What an utter lack of responsibility and total lack of recognition of the terrible harm they are causing by doing this, from NICE.

But why? What was their reason for doing so? I find it unacceptable. We have people who are sympathetic to ME on the guideline committee, so it’s not as if NICE aren’t aware of what’s happened with GET. It’s nothing short of a national scandal and I find it unacceptable they cannot remove...

@Rosie I agree with what you say the international travellers. Here in the UK, from what you say, our international restrictions / quarantine etc are many times worse than NZ. At the very beginning, a few months ago, some passengers fro Wuhan were brought in and kept in quarantine together in a...

From local council (only found out by going on their website), For the extremely vulnerable, from next week, there’s a council helpline. Have to call that; and tell them the reference number from the top of my letter. Then they’ll tell me what day my food parcel will come. It will come from a...

@Invisible Woman sorry I might have misread your post. I thought you said what happens if you get put in the group. But I think you meant what happens after filing out the questionnaire. I don’t know answer to that question. A few of my friends have filled it out with no answer yet.

@Invisible Woman So far I’m receiving daily texts (as I mentioned over on the living with COVID-19 thread). Giving me self care tips etc. At some point apparently I’m meant to get help with people bringing me groceries and medication. I heard also driving people to appointments. Also the list...

It’s very disappointing but understandable. However, what is stopping NICE making the decision to at the very least get rid of the graded exercise therapy and CBT recommendations from the guidelines? They know it’s horrendously harmful and is leading to long term damage. And there’s no...

Other MPs seem to be getting it as well

Yet.. A week ago.. “Yes we’ve engaged with that process today. We’re not clear how many ventilators we will get, we’re getting on with it”. Didn’t seem like they missed the emails. I really am hoping they do join future schemes because it sounds like it would have helped the Uk a lot.

@Andy will the announcement of whether or not UK GWAS was awarded the funding, be delayed now, because of the coronavirus?

“Dr Lewis Mackenzie, a Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council Discovery Fellow, commented: “Why on earth has this been sent to the media via a third party PR company instead of the Oxford University press team? Seems very irresponsible to encourage reporting on this topic before...

This is terrible. So now Sweden is following herd immunity too. :/

I note that in the UK, although shops like Next, Body Shop, Candle shops, beauty product shops, shoe shops, Clothing shops, any shop at all you name it, although no longer open to the public, are still open for online ordering. I noticed this as I had placed a body shop order before the lockdown...
