medscape.com/viewarticle/92... Just found this article from a cardiologist at Keele University which I'd thought I would share.

Oh gawd, that’s scared the bejeebers out of me. I tick all them boxes.

Well I know it makes grim reading but at least it gives an idea of what the medical professions may think and what they may do.I tick quite a few boxes too I'm afraid.😕

Thanks it just confirms that we must all be careful and take the necessary precautions to avoid catching the coronavirus if we can.

My local hospital is busy preparing for the influx of patients.

Stay safe and well everyone

On plus side I’ve decided to get my shorts out the draw, dust them down after there winter hiatus. The aim of this measure is to bring joy and hope to the many ladies in the world 🌎 😀

A difficult but informative watch. I think it brings home not only the primary impact of Covid19 on health but also the immediate impact upon the health service and us all for those with all health conditions. I think we are all going to have to manage all but the most critical of conditions as conservatively as possible. Underlines the importance of doing everything possible to avoid contracting covid. When I had some shopping delivered last week I signed for things by using my finger on terminal as there was no pencil - then phone rang and I went to pick it up. These are such basic hygiene issues which I think I normally good with but I actually forgot to sanitise hands in the moment. Next time I will leave a pen by door etc. Maybe use gloves for my next delivery as these guys are visiting many self isolating household. Thanks for posting. Take care

Thanks Rose sometimes peoples small comments make a big difference - not as though they are going to take the order back if you say you can't sign. You sometimes become programmed into thinking a certain way. I will be a rebel :) Delivery guys usually so helpful here and not the easiest jobs. He was telling me all the things that were not available and with my black (or tactless humour) looked and said 'well it's disgraceful' he started apologising again until I told him I was just joking and it really didn't matter. He went on to tell me a couple of earlier customers really went at him as though it was his fault. We need to be understanding of others.

Where all in this together

I have just sat and cried just looking at the NHS Staff in London thay look worn out and this is only the beginning .

My Son has notes posted all over the house

Dont pick up mail without gloves on

Ask callers to move away from front door before opening

Dont except parcels or sign for them

ask them to leave inside the door dont touch unless you have gloves on .

He says am I being over the top ,I dont think he is .

All food shopping gets washed before being packed away

Like you we sit and laugh its the only way to get through this

Just about to mow grass at front got my protective Googles on as last year stone shot up and bruised my cheek (my face) not the other end. And my DIY mask as I will just sneeze for the rest of day if I don't use it. I just know my neighbour (2 doors down) will be at the bet curtains. And look your not mad just barmy I mean careful. Better to have peace of mind so keep wiping that shopping
