More likely those working don't want to take chances and others are just doubling up in shop AND on line, i reckonAnd here in my posh gym, we've got disinfectant around but not enough people are spraying the kit despite the virus being the topic of lots of conversations. Its a strange one.
Also (first world problem) I can't get an Ocado delivery for 5 days so I guess there is some self isolation going on.
All the research to date shows that it is an absolute: N
Its a joke, he thought we were being taken over by lizard people who were reptillian and cold blooded. We had to dress in torquoise to be safe, or so it was alleged.sorry? what do you mean?
I am surprised people seem to have personal body temperatures, I assumed they were all 37C. I don't remember ever measuring my temperature and I don't have a thermometer, maybe I should get one?Its a joke, he thought we were being taken over by lizard people who were reptillian and cold blooded.

Sorry, it is my odd sense of humour! We need some light relief from this heavy subject.
Actually my normal body temperature, like yours and Zand's and is below the normal range.

My testing was by medical staff over a period of time when I spent a while in hospital due to severe illness caused by A&e ignoring my notes saying that my fever may not show up, based on previous illnesses. And me telling them as often as I could until I lost consciousness.I am surprised people seem to have personal body temperatures, I assumed they were all 37C.

We have a remote / non contact thermometer. We use it a lot. It is pretty accurate. There is typically a difference between the sexes. Females are a tad higher I believe.I am surprised people seem to have personal body temperatures, I assumed they were all 37C.

The Australian Dept. of Health have been updating this website everyday.Why aren't we being told to look out for these early symptoms?

jjraak, my husband shared this with me this morning. I had to laugh. This is so ME...
I love the Washington Post!
jjraak, I'm writing you from Washington state. What he's saying is not reflective of how we roll here. I assure you, the state, county, and local governments here are struggling to get into place everything that needs to be done. And will.
That man's rant is not deserving of attention and doesn't help anyone.
I assure you, government at all levels, hospital and other administrators, health care providers, social workers, and first responders are playing catch up right now. We weren't ready. None of us were ready. (All that said, our all knowing president who doesn't value or trust experts, definitely made things worse. Enough said.)
Everyone is scared here. And I assure you, no one here wants people to die. That is ridiculous. I work at the county government level. I've never worked with a more professional, proactive, ethical, hardworking and effective group of people, though there are exceptions, every work place has them.
The problem right now is that we don't have enough test kits or labs up and running yet, but progress is being made daily toward that goal. For now testing needs to be reserved for those who meet the criteria so we know who needs to be quarantined for now. We're still ramping up our response here.
My mum was in a similar home, god knows how those family members are coping.
Tonight news reported that they still didn't have enough tests for all the residents.
Did they say why they don't have enough tests for all the residents?
@Winnie53, I get breaking news from CNN by email, and this was the main link from the last one this morning that that may be of interest to you.

Currently, there are about 75,000 coronavirus tests available for the American public, US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union” today.
"By early next week – tomorrow – we should have over 2 million tests available. By the end of the week, through partnerships with private industry, over 4 million tests available," Adams said. "But the most important number to the American people is one. They want to know if I go in, can I get a test? And the one thing that I’ve heard – I’ve been to Georgia, I’ve been to Georgia, I’ve been to Connecticut in the past week – is that no public health doctor who was asked for a test has not been able to get a test. So people should talk to their healthcare providers."
Yet when Tapper asked how many people have been tested, Adams said, "The numbers are tough because they're changing minute by minute."
Tapper responded, "Just the rough numbers?"
Adams later said, "I would refer you to the CDC for that because, again, the numbers change so rapidly."
