Passed a large notice in the entrance foyer, prior to the reception area, which stated that "DO NOT ENTER WITH CORONAVIRUS SYMPTOMS. CONTACT 111 FOR ADVICE" The reception area could at any one time have seated some thirty, elderly, frail, residents from our surrounding villages. My wife and I were telephoned today and informed that our appointment at Brundall had been transferred to the surgery at Blofield. Not a joke. No confirmation of this particular virus at Brundall. But what it does demonstrate is the care and professionalism and precautions taken by the team at Brundall to ensure the health and welfare of thier patients. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 A big plus with a Broads boating holiday (or holiday cottage come to that) is that no plane journeys, you are in your own space if you self cater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 This is also another reason why I am looking forward to using our caravan this summer. Only other people who will go there are a couple of family. We are very fortunate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I think despite all the gloom and doom, we have to think positively that life will go on , for a few months it may be a tad different but we will get through this. It used to be dodge the spots when it rained , well now it is dodge the virus when out and about. Stay well every one of you please!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveO Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Slightly off topic, but I observe that the virus has curtailed travel plans in a number of geographic areas and reduced China's economic growth by around 1 to 1.5% . This probably goes less than 1% of the way to meeting the aims of the climate change activists, yet already a UK airline has collapsed, the oil price has fallen through the floor and global financial markets have been in meltdown with trillions of dollars wiped off the value of equities. If we want to make the changes that we are told are necessary in order to save the planet, we had better make them very, very gradually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Talk about Global warming to those in Alaska who have had their coldest winter - 40 below most of the time. Imagine their heating bills. I watch a blog from North Pole (yes there is a place believe me) in Alaska and it has been a struggle to keep warm, but saying that their shops in North Alaska are , Costco, Safeway, Coop, Walmart, Tesco. are absolutely stuffed full of produce from floor to ceiling. They have huge tins of items and bulk buy most things from I can see , so no panic buying, they have to cope with 3 months at a time , most of the time. This is just an example.

Those Hythe pensioners are a canny lot, being in the 'at risk' age group, they are not panic buying, just in case they do catch the virus and succumb to it, they dont want to spend their hard earned pensions on goods they may never use. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point being that now that surgery has had to close, probably until they can get a team in to deep clean the whole place to make sure it is safe for at risk patients.

ChrisB Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I was speaking to my son in Melbourne this morning. There have been two separate fights over toilet rolls in supermarkets in Australia where the police have have attended. The combatants in these " Bog Roll Wars" have been charged with affray. So they will nowget a criminal record over a pack of toilet rolls! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok virgin Atlantic are doing their best to keep up pollution by flying empty aircraft due to drop in booking , all that's brought about by having to protect their landing and take off slots or they will lose them thanks to EU law . Not too sure the oil price everything to do with the virus I thought that came about because of a price war ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
