Seems to be following the same pattern as yesterday at the moment, Definitely a bit easier this morning, think i generally pretty much sleep on my front with only my head turned to the side most of the time and from some of the photos of people in hospital in italy being face down maybe this actually helps somehow? but seems to have got a little worse this afternoon, Chest still feels tight, Still having to try and take deep gulps of air every now & then and again like last night standing in the fresh air in the garden for a few minutes seems to help this a bit. It is not as bad as it was light night which was rather concerning if i'm honest. Despite not generally a hypochondriac type and unless something is falling off or feels like i have been stabbed or something i wouldn't even think of going to the docs usually but breathing is kinda important and not being able to do it very well soon makes you stop & think. Hopefully the worst of it has been & gone but we'll see how the evening goes i guess. If it stays like it is currently for a few days it isn't much fun but is bearable enough. It would certainly seem to tie in with some of the timelines you see if i had it at the same time as my wife over the weekend & just didn't notice anything as it seems that those that are going to get breathing difficulties seem to get them on days 5-7 before needing a ventilator a day or two later if the breathing doesn't improve

Either worse or older I would think. I'm 45 so I guess at the lower end of the likely to die chart. Usually fine as far as I know other than being a bit tubby although there are heart issues on my dads side which I was actually supposed to be getting screened for this month. Had bad pneumonia as a kid that nearly finished me off and ended up with severe asthma after this but that seemed to clear in late teens & haven't used an inhaler or anything for years. This feels like the asthma I guess, just can't get a decent breath.

Well that was an interesting evening. Genuinely not pissing about here. Felt fine until Tuesday despite wife showing symptoms over the weekend but mild dry throat & occasional cough appeared before relatively light chest pains & difficulty breathing kicked in. Actually seemed to improve a little by the time i woke up but cough & breathing worsened during the day to the point where i am struggling to take any sort of meaningful deep breath at all. Doesn't feel like i am about to collapse or anything but breathing isn't fun and having to stand up every few minutes to try and get some sort of deeper gulp of air.Standing in the garden definitely seems to aid this at least somewhat. Assessed & told it looks like i definitely have it but not tested or hospitalised. Repeatedly asked about any blood coming from either end (there isn't) & still able to hold a conversation without having to stop to try and breathe every few words and this seems to be the cut-off point at the moment for whether you are going to end up in hospital or not. Treatment/advice is drink water, take paracetamol, wash hands, do not leave the house for 14 days, avoid other people. If breathing difficulties worsen over the next 3 or 4 days and/or any signs of blood call 111 (999 in extremes). Unless you are pretty much about to drop dead (which hopefully i am not) it seems you are not getting tested or going anywhere near a hospital. Now off to bed & will hopefully wake up in the morning Cheers to those who showed concern & stay safe out there. This isn't much fun.

& now waiting for a paramedic... Cya folks

Pretty convinced the wife had it over the weekend/earlier in the week & now almost certain i have it after doing some coughing today & being rather short of breath since last night. Great fun

heh, i got rid of my pic until i can check had about an hours sleep last night, day of complete pissing about today and currently trying to sort out setting up & updating 4 different pc's. Think i've probably gone a bit mad at this point

Hmm maybe not actually, clothes are different on some of them

Its a real photo, Just from sunday announcing the day of prayer,

mad isn't it, on the rice thing there seems to be none anywhere unless you want the uncle bens microwave stuff which seems to be on offer in loads of places at £2 for 3 packs and nobody is buying it. Same with the kitchen roll here, towers of it sat at the end of every single empty bog roll aisle. Worst case just find one of the cheapo supermarket places like heron foods that do all the supernoodle things for 6 for a quid and giant king pot noodles for 65p and stock up on a few packs of those. Sure it isn't exactly the healthiest diet but they are handy warm snacks that aren't going to go out of date and don't take up valuable fridge/freezer space

Friend of mine did that last year, fell down the stairs, broke his neck & died

ah dell inspiron, nice cheap little basic gaming rig if you chuck a cheap £70 low profile gt1030 in it, especially if you have one of the i7 ones

So day one of working from home is going great. Been to work twice, Once to tell someone i have known for over 20 years who is like family that he no longer has a job and once to grab a landline phone as the mobile signal here is useless at the best of times but half the mobile networks seem to have completely collapsed today. & all because someone ate a bat thousands of miles away last year Oh & tomorrow i am planning on giving up smoking so that will be some fun times locked in the house with the likely covid infected wife for the forseeable future

& me, 22 rolls Haven't seen any in shops since Wednesday so grabbed a 4pack when i saw one this morning on the way in to work. Nipped out at lunchtime & the local b&m shop seemed to have some new stock of 18packs so bought one of those too to save having to go hunting again for another week or two

Kinda crazy that the whole world is pretty much f***ed over such small numbers of people. Around 155,000 people die every single day, 2/3 of these are age related. If you take the 60 or so days that people have been dying from covid-19 around 9.3 million people will have died, 6 million or so of these will be as a result of "old age" Given that many of the 7,200 people who have died as a result of covid -19 are elderly/already sick there is a good chance that a fair old chunk of those would have died anyway as part of the 9.3 million and currently the numbers only account for approximately 0.07% of deaths in the past 60 days or so. The WHO estimates that there are between 80000-130000 deaths every year from people being bitten by a snake, averaged out over the same 60 day period (using 100,000 per year as an estimate) this would mean that 16,500 people have potentially died from snake bites in the same time as 7,200 have died from covid-19

Full specs & loads of info now out, Biggest downsides seem to be no optical out & Series X games not working from external drives as they are too slow (can be used to play current gen games), The solution to this is effectively going back to proprietary memory cards although this time they are 1tb NVMe drives, no word on what they will cost yet but they will not be cheap (current basic standalone 1tb nvme is about £150) and the 1tb built into the console isn't going to last long with some current gen games already well over 100gb. Other than that it looks like they have crammed a 2 grand pc into a smallish black box Pretty amazing that they have let digital foundry just completely take it all apart & show everything months before release.

National league now suspended until at least April 3rd too, NPL suspended indefnitely. Will be a few small clubs go tits up over this

there is no possible way there are only 1500 people with it/who have had it in the uk, you can probably multiply that by 100 at least, No testing unless you are in hospital means nobody has a clue. Could be 5 million people with it if the symptoms are as mild as being reported by people like Arteta. Same with spain & some of the other countries, the simple maths alone on the number of footballers that have tested positive doesn't really work on such low numbers of cases

Wife was feeling a bit rough yesterday, Sent home from work today as she developed a temperature & sore throat. This apparently means i now have to work from home for the rest of the week now too. Off to paint & red X on the door, It has begun...

Artetas wife says they are all fine and he would have usually just taken a paracetamol & gone to work with the symptoms he had

Kettering player collapses with fever, Nevermind, game on anyway

don't know how anyone could think that not relegating teams as the season hasn't finished but promoting teams because they happen to be in those positions at the moment makes any sense. Leeds/WBA have not won the league, they are not guaranteed a top two finish so why on earth would they be promoted. Same with the other leagues, Look at wycome in L1 they are currently 8th, not even in the play offs but if they win their game in hand they are joint 2nd. League 2 the top 5 are split by 5 points & two teams have played a game less... If the seasons do not finish & they have no pre determined rule as to what would happen should the season fail to finish then the only sensible option is to completely void everything and start afresh with the same teams in the same competitions next season when possible & effectively just replay the entire season

I think a few celebs/football people getting & it saying they are fine a couple of days later may actually help calm things down a little. there seems to be this great fear that if you get it you are going to die at the moment rather than the general reality of if you get it you should probably stay in bed for a couple of days, avoid other people and you'll more than likely be fine in a few days. Honestly no idea why they are actually even bothering testing people for it, If you think you may have it then follow the isolation advice, unless you are one of the people that end up severely ill as a result of it and need hospital treatment then what is testing people actually achieving. There is no magical cure, the only fix is to wait for it to go & try not to give it anyone else. If half a dozen football players have it there is no possible way that only 800 or so people have it in the uk, Must be in the tens of thousands but most people will barely even notice.

Just stopped off at morissons on the way home to grab some food & stuff for the weekend as it is usually pretty quiet on the way home on a friday. Absolutely insane in there, Busier than christmas eve, looks like it has been robbed with hardly anything left on many shelves, no rice, no pasta, no beans & definitely nothing that even resembles a toilet roll in sight. People in queues stretching down the aisles even for the self checkout tills, Trollies overflowing everywhere, couples with 2 crammed full trollies & their kids with another trolley. Ended up stuck in there for nearly an hour when it is usually a quick 10-15 minutes stop off. People are completely batshit crazy over what will be nothing more than a bit of a cold & a couple of days in bed for most people.

So, Given the current bog roll situation did anyone ever work this out?

they won't decide anything, It will just be null & void. No other option really as this will be going on for at least the next couple of months if not longer. Loads of players/staff from every club will be getting it at varying times for the forseeable future
