Virus worries

Hi ronk, i am not sure if you are 1 or 2 db and whether you have done the DAFNE course (which I recommend if it is still going!), but the below link may help. And if you are like me (trying to figure out this matrix :) ), just simply check you blood sugars more frequently than you are used to - I am not a Doctor or nurse or advisor with no medical qualifications, just one like you has this affliction.

http://www.dafne.uk.com/uploads/224/documents/G01.002,%20version%201%20(May%202018)%20-Sick%20day%20rules%20-%20Standard.pdf?0.966777099369758/url]

I use a Freestyle Optium monitor which covers both blood and keytone strips.
If you have not done DAFNE or are type 2, I would still increase your blood checks and seek alternative professional advice.
I also think a shot of Lagavulin 16 and a drop of "local" honey may offer some solice :thumbsup:

All of the above is just my opinion and it does not in any way offer any medical advice to anyone at anytime :idunno: Hope this helps!
 
I live in France along with my daughter and my grandchildren. She kept them away from school today as a precaution, the school rang her to warn her not to do this, and being quite rood and threatening in their approach. My daughter told them where to get off btw. Later in the day Macron announced all schools and colleges will be shut as from Monday. The mindset of people can be so blinkered and narrow minded.
It worries me that the UK isn't following suite on this one, Boris and his cronies are playing a risky game of wait and see, hoping the warmer weather will come to their rescue...

Boris and his cronies...?? You mean the up to date scientists that know as much as there is to know about this thing as possible that are working flat out night and day to find a cure for everyone including YOU..?? :roll: What a way to speak about folk that are doing their utmost to help others. If you know better than them I’m sure they’ll be only too pleased to hear what they don’t know. Being political about it is ridiculous. If you listened to what they said they’re wanting warmer weather so the usual winter flu and colds will be less to ease strain on the NHS, that’s hardly waiting for it to come to their rescue. Plus warmer wether should slow the virus down a little, nothing wrong with any help they can get is there? Or should they have all the answers right now and a cure right now or people are going to stamp their little feet in disgust. Waiting for the right time to shut places was explained in full backed up by as much as anyone can know, sounded perfectly logical to me, but then I did listen to the whole press conference rather than read the Daily Mirror for facts.....Fact is nobody, the globe over, knows if what they’re doing is correct or not, uncharted waters, there’s no guide book out.

Corona-viruses are spread from animals to humans. There have been many of these outbreaks, SARS and MERS, the worst is Ebola.
Generally they are contained with minimal casualties. The travel and gathering restrictions put in place are prudent. Hopefully this will stop or slow the spread and scientist come up with a vaccine quickly
 
I’m told that that Virus evolved from a market in Wuhan that was selling fish meat an poultry both wild and domestic.
If this practice isn’t stopped then surely there’ll be another virus waiting in the wings?
 
There are no easy answers to the problem facing us all. I am sure the Government and their advisers are doing their best to give what they believe to be good advice. I am 75 and have a heart condition. I am just hoping that this time next year I will still be driving my pride and joy and enjoying the posts on this forum. More immediately we are due to fly to Madeira next Friday for a week. At the moment we don’t know whether to go. That is if the flights are still taking place. I am just trying to stay calm and not worry. Good luck to everyone and I hope you and yours stay virus free. :thumbsup:
 
I’ve got a ferry booked for Germany in July - I’ve think that’s not going to happen. It’s a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.

There may be much to pay for many of us before this is over. I just hope it's only financial. Our son is booked to fly over from New Zealand in May. We all except that's not going to happen now. Another friend and grand mother, was due to fly out to Disneyland Florida, for a three generation family holiday of a life time. All cancelled today, but still likely to cost them the Air fairs. As long as it only costs us money we will be fine. This virus is killing 10's of thousands already and it has a lot more places to spread to yet. Many of those places have no first world NHS. Stay healthy folks. :)
 
Myself and 5 mates were booked to go to Spain on Sunday, not now since its locked down as of midnight tonight. Bit of a shitter tbh, was looking forward to it :(
 
I think we are all being a bit over prudent but I'm not against that. At least not until I can find an TP or water :cry: I'm pretty sure now I'm more in danger of dying from an encrusted bum and water deprivation than a virus :?

Why have the majority of European countries shut their schools and colleges..... bad scientists I guess.... Its common sense..
Yes there are repercussions from this action, working parents may leave their children with the grandparents a more at risk sector... There are no clear cut answers but some are more obvious than others in tackling this virus and some things should be done sooner rather than later....

Our son has tickets to Glastonbury.

I'm guessing that may get cancelled too. :?

I'd personally work on the assumption that everything in the next 6-9 months will likely be cancelled, which is a pain since we've already forked out £6k for a holiday to South Africa in July :(
