sorry IM, istm is short for 'it seems to me'. you make some wise & sensible points in your post. thank you :) @Wonko I bought this today, plus 4x butane canisters to go in them. £25 altogether I spoke to my carer & she said that if I careful - only boil what water I actually going to drink...

This is my perception also. Well you would hope so, but given (istm) that the majority of people are being incredibly blasé about it because they believe it's a load of hype over something similar to flu.... I have no faith in organisations to be thoughtful & sensible enough to make such...

It will be priority but they often take days to restore power, especially to remote areas, & that's under normal circumstances. Also if it got very bad would there be enough staff to man power stations etc? - that last be may be a remarkably dumb question, but I am ignorant of the power system tbh.

I cant remember if I asked this before or not, I couldn't see a post with it but I am pretty muzzy foggy so... my apologies if I did. Does anyone know what the chances are of there being power cuts. I suppose if we had a bad storm when covid's is at it's peak then staff capacity to fix...

All good questions @lunarainbows. What interests me a bit is if you look watch the video that automatically plays directly after the one shared up thread with the same Italian Dr but this time talking to channel 4 news in uk instead of Canadian news... it's a bit less 'danger!' in tone

I have also wondered about this @Wonko I looked at getting a little camping gas stove with the butane canisters just so I could have a cuppa. But I have no idea what the chances are of powercuts. I suppose if we had a bad storm when covid's at it's peakthen staff capacity to fix powerlines...

Actually i'm quite impressed with Dr J for that. We don't know, & at least it sounds like she didn't give the caller the brush off/minimise etc.

I'm with you @lunarainbows iyam it's this yes I keep one of those anyway as i'm on my own. Will be checking it's all in order thought as it was packed a few yrs ago Does anyone happen to know whether China during worst phase had any issues with power? ie power cuts due to workers not being...

Incidentally I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank @Jonathan Edwards for his very sound advice on this thread a few wks ago - about getting in supplies before the panic buying started, the hand washing/not touching face etc. Having been fortunate enough to be able to follow the thread...

I was thinking more of the lasagne & salad that neighbour just brought me & which I ate & then thought... err should I have eaten that? They are kind enough to do a meal for me every sunday eve - whatever they're having they make an extra portion for me. I suppose if any of them are...

I would like to know what happens if you eat the virus... ie is ingesting it going to infect you or does the virus itself have to hit some part of the respiratory system? So if droplets of virus land on your food & then you eat, will you be infected or does it need to be breathed in? or touch...

@Invisible Woman The clinell alcohol wipes that luna mentioned on the other thread would be good for IM at work for keyboards etc? or just soak & wring out the bleach solution Trish mentioned above & put in a plastic tub to take to work? Hope he can stay away really though

oh hahaha sorry it was late & I was dense, always got my eye out for things that can help with that problem, thought I might have found a little known fix :laugh::rofl:

Calamine? does that work on a sore botty? I get the runs a LOT, so am interested to know. apologies if that TMI I do seem to be being rather foul mouthed this evening :whistle:

Brilliant @Michiel Tack oh this this this. Or indeed of women wanting to educate blokes that being kicked very hard in the groin should not make the knees buckle, the purely female bps view of which would be that it is clearly catastrohpising by men who are far too concerned about & involved...

This. I've just given up trying to go on & on & on, to people that feeling fatigue, no matter how profound that fatigue is, is not the same as feeling ill. They cant hear it, I've given up. And now vast numbers of patients are using the f word too... it's like the battle is lost. Despite the...

Well aha yes I do that with some items.... toilet roll & other things I know I wont need for a wk or so, I get the driver to put them in a box under the kitchen table, but the rest (most of it) I need to use or am likely to use in the next day or two. When we can get specific figs on how long it...

I wipe everything that comes in. I get a bowl full of hot soapy water & about 20 microfibre cloths, wrung out, & then I just sit & wipe every item, changing cloths frequently, then I shove the cloths in the machine at 80degrees. It's not 100% effective I'm sure but it reduces the risk. But then...
