Corona Virus Treatment

Although the Isle of Man is still clear of the virus they are taking some wise precautions. The population is also helping itself below. I'll point out that Ellan Vannin Fuels is the supplier to garages for vehicle fuel and the shop is attached to one of these.

 

Hi @Sheal, thanks for posting that.

At last some people who are showing some common sense in all this.

If only there were more people like this on the mainland who were showing the same compassion and thoughtfulness instead of the selfish "I'm having that, couldn't care about you " brigade we have.

 

As I said earlier as well, @ARMANDII , same here. I was wandering if instead of what you said, larger town/smaller town , it was more of a South/North divide thing., as in our borough there are over 110,000 people and I've seen no shortages at all.

 

Thanks @KFF. Much of the population of mainland Britain tends to think of the island as being antiquated, but the people there have much more sense than they are given credit for.

Panic buying is well under way here in the Highlands @ARMANDII and our first confirmed case was only declared this last week. The 'powers that be' have decided not to announce the area that case is in.

 

Appears taking Ibuprofen in lieu of Paracetomol could make things worse

Cornish woman’s idea to help self-isolating neighbours goes global

 

Thank you for sharing this with us here on GC. The first story I've read from someone I "know". It sounds encouraging so far. Please keep us informed, please tell us how it's making him feel today and what he is doing to stay safe himself,
Thank you,
Jenny

 

All the stores very busy this morning, car parks full, shortage of trollies, empty shelves everywhere. As more and more stuff runs out shoppers are clearing out other items. At this rate they'll be completely cleared out before next weekend. Loads of people seem to have taken the day off to spend going from store to store.

In the absence of any bog rolls, hand wash, tinned fish, flour, rice, pasta and baked beans, Pet food, potatoes, eggs and frozen pizzas are the latest must have purchases.

Local garden centre very quiet.
