I think you’ve just got to be very careful with your movements and hygiene Ronk, they don’t know the virus 100% but from what is known it’s likely you would be ok after a week or so unless you have quite severe respiratory problems at your age. I’ve not read or heard anything that diabetes has any bearing on it. This thing is here to stay but hopefully there will be a vaccine by this time next year and dealt with like the flu.

I must admit I'm partial to a little Buckfast every now and then 
The first question to be asked after the press conference today was mind bogglingly stupid from Laura Kussenberg, essentially...”What if you get it it wrong”? What if they do..?? I don’t see a crystal ball telling them the future..! To my mind it was a very level headed, very well thought out response form Boris and the scientists, of course the idiot press will no doubt slate it for the money but that’s to be expected of course, even in this pandemic the scum want to spread stupidity.

From Diabetes UK:-
Specific advice on coronavirus for people living with diabetes
Coronaviruses can cause more severe symptoms and complications in people with diabetes, as well as in older people, and those with other long term conditions such as cancer or chronic lung disease.

Nah, better for the environment
It many ways all of this is quite surreal as we have pretty much lived in a society all our lives feeling safe from viuses and the like. I can get now how frightened people who were about 100s of years ago must have felt with the likes if the plague, black death etc where they had nothing compared to today, no help, no advice etc. Although we live in a modern society it shows how fragile we are and how quickly things can go downhill. I'm amazed something like hasn't happened sooner to be honest as I think we have become too complacent.
The positive is if you do get the virus is not an automatic death sentence but worrying all the same for certain people.
I'm following the Dutch Prime ministers advice :lol:

Never mind the panic buying, this is the panic forum. Humour obviously isn't working. Forget the 'buckie'. Phone your GP surgery and ask for a telephone callback from your GP. He/She will have your medical history and give first-hand advice and allay your fears. ORA best.ronk said:

My wife isn’t 72.
She is on oral Chemotherapy though and despite all odds, still working....as a community nurse.....
We’re very concerned, although yesterday her boss told her to work from home doing paperwork with no patient contact.

I know it has had some tragic consequences in many places, but I can't help thinking the media don't help.
They made a big deal about Asian Bird Flu some years ago, but it was never the global pandemic they made out that it would be.
I'm a mere youngster at 60 so hopefully not too at risk, but hope we are all OK.
