I have always taken it for period pains as it's excellent but while it sorts out all manner of pain brilliantly you should never use it long term; it says so on the paper inside the box. I always read the paper in the box! I usually end up scaring myself by doing so but better that than doing the wrong thing IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to self isolate again? Para 2: You self-isolate for 7 days or until symptoms stop. If you have family at home, they isolate for 14 days. Para 4: Start again, for this process the first incident didn't happen. Here's a guide to how this works for families: "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt; run in little circles, wave your arms and shout" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to self isolate again? If you develop a continuous dry cough - as opposed to a phlegmy cough for instance - then I would guess taking time off would be a good idea, particularly if it comes with a temperature. I would imagine that you will know your cough is unusual as how many people do you hear hacking away while struggling to get their breath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to self isolate again? that question was asked on bbc news this am of an expert "if we self isolate for 14 days as a member of family has cough and fever and on day 14 another develops it do we need another 14 days" and the answer was "no, cv has an incubation of 7 days give or take a bit, so if someone had it you have all had it asymptotically or wont get it and are not contagious" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

MattSantos Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 23 new cases in Singapore. We had a good first half and became complacent in the sheds at half time. People have been travelling around and returning back. People fly a lot here, holidays, conferences, the lot. 17 of the 23 are imported cases... that could be 17 new clusters! Personally, i've been a tad disappointed in how my work are managing it. We were in split teams and now we're not; complacency!

Wolford6 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Just had an e-mail saying that the Airedale Quiz League is shutting down for the season. The committee is worried that so many players are of senior years that it's not worth the risk of just carrying on. Can't think who they might be thinking of.

shaun mc Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Just been to Asda - never seen a supermarket so empty. Virtually no meat is a first. More shelves empty than with stuff on Looked at peoples baskets and trolleys as I walked past and no real signs of over-buying, so are Asda's supply chains just unable to stand a bit of extra demand? There are going to be a lot of canneloni beans and chick peas in 12 months time that no-one has a chuff what to do with them, but bought them anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharmacists are being abused for not allowing people to buy over the over-the-counter selling maximums put in place because paracetamol is deadly in even relatively minor overdoses. If you are buying more than one or two small boxes of paracetamol to stockpile then you are contributing to people who really need it not getting it. Now we're seeing pharmacies report zero stock on aspirin because of mass-buying vultures. Some abuse given when pharmacy staff ask people to be reasonable and leave some for folk that really need it. I have few words suitable for civilised company for these people.

Smudger06 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I'd imagine these panic buying cretins will have spent up / ran out of storage space within the next couple of days.

Furthermore I'd expect all major retailers to ramp up their supply chains maximising the amount of time their fleets are on the road and contracting stobbarts etc for extra needed capacity. They're making money so their buyers / purchasers will be resupplying their warehouses from suppliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
