What weird behaviour do you think will occur? Corona related.

I'm not sure whether to be amazed at this lads entrepreneurialism or depressed that he only did it so he could buy a kebab and some Doritos.

Definitely fewer people on the tube today outside rush hour. Everyone was leaving a seat or two in between the next person.

SIL posted a photograph of airside in an airport close to me and there was not one person in the bar at 5.30 in the afternoon. That has to be a first.

One of the main shopping centres in town has closed its public toilets because people kept stealing the toilet rolls.

We’ve just been to the solicitor as we are updating our wills and needed to sign them. The solicitor told us she was rushed off her feet as due to the corona virus loads of people are making wills!

Mmmmm! Let me think! What odd behaviour will start happening now due to the Coronavirus? Ah, yes, I know, folk will start washing their hands! !!!!

Suddenly I am being told I have to be careful cos at risk..ok so I am 68 with asthma and high blood pressure ....I am also a ballroom and Latin dancer dancing twice a week I am fit slim non smoker no alcohol...I am being told dancing too risky I think just as Risky to stop what do people think?

Hypervigilance might be one behavior ..

I found some out of date vitamin C tablets at the back of the cupboard - normally I would throw them out but have changed my habits and am taking them.
And I washed all the kitchen cupboard doors, now that is weird!

But I am going out tomorrow. Business as usual, I hope.

I assume people can go out for a walk or a drive in their own car, as long as they keep well away from other people and don't enter any shops, public toilets or other buildings.

I think it would be just fine to go for a drive (mind you, cars are known to be germ laden anyway). Let's hope they don't start tracking mobile phone signals to check isolation, as in South Korea.

Can anyone tell me ...... if I am looking after a relative, not particularly elderly, but with dementia, and the country gets to a situation as in Italy where people are told not to go out - is it an option to take confused relative simply out for ‘a drive’ in the car and not get out? My relative would just not be able to understand not having his daily rides out - it literally is his only pleasure in life.

To answer your question Greymar I have a ton of books waiting to be read and lots of material waiting to be sewn so I could keep busy for a few months.

Panic buying?

I haven't been able to buy and paracetamol or ibuprofen in Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons or Aldi today. The shelves were completely empty.

Tissues or elbow. Standard stuff. They've been told enough times in assembly AND there are notices around the school.

I hope you aren’t telling people to cover their mouths with their hand. They will then put their germ-ridden hands down on surfaces that will be touched by other people, thus spreading the infection.

The advice is to cough or sneeze into your elbow, or at the least cover your mouth with tissues when you cough. Don’t use your bare hand.

...it all becomes rather scary when..as here in the last couple of hours...ambulance..siren..blue lights...paramedics plus guy head to toe in white protective clothing in and out of neighbours house...all sorts of equipment being taken in...then both of them taken in the ambulance...which then parked up in golf club car park across the road...for 15mins...??? before setting off...so worried about them....may or may not be coronavirus...I dont know...just the guy in the head to toe white clothes has worried me...

Gaga I have the same record coming out of my mouth.

I shall start panic buying wine

There is no Yorkshire Tea available round here.

Please don't start hoarding the Free From stuff if you can eat other things.

GagaJo, I would say you are doing society a good deed Corona Virus or not.

Marydoll an unintentional pun ??

I hate housework so a few weeks of self isolation might be good for me! I might even get around to doing a bit of dusting, clearing out a few cupboards or washing the skirting boards. No, not really I'll just probably watch more TV and read more books!

How is this for odd behaviour?

I had a doctor's appointment today and the waiting room was entirely empty. As I have a compromised immune system I was delighted, especially as I'm beginning new treatment, which needs me to be infection free.

A lady came in, went to the toilet, came out drying her hands on a sheet of toilet paper, which she put in her pocket. Despite the large waiting room being empty, apart from me, she sat directly behind me.
Suddenly I felt something touching me neck, she was leaning against my back! ??
You can take every precaution, but if others don't, what chance have we got?
