Sorry to hear that Snowie. Hope they pull through and it doesn't spread.
Aweful times.

Stay Safe everyone

Just checked bbc website, the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals ( Wakefield, Pontefract, Dewsbury)report a total number of 54, victims. Sadly the true figure will be higher, due to current figures being only for those who passed away in hospitals.

Lost a couple of ex colleagues to this already. It appears all or nothing this virus with a few able to fight it when it gets hold. The Country appears to hav put itself in a good position to fight it with the NHS however the death rate is a couple of weeks behind so I dont expect news on falaties to improve anywhere soon. I also fear that we are behind the south i.e. London and we still have this to come the social distance has clearly had an impact but so will those who chose to flaunt the rules

These are very anxious times for a lot of people. I hope that everyone stays safe and your loved ones too. Working in Critical Care I see first hand on a daily and nightly basis what this virus has done and is doing. I feel very fortunate that none of my family or loved ones have become ill. Stay safe everyone.

all going well, looks like they have it under control at the moment, she had a Skype phone call today and a little chat which made her day, he's soon going to have 85th birthday where we will be allowed to see him at a distance

Also the person who had it is doing ok too

Good to hear Snowie mate, it’s unreal what’s happening. I do the face time thing with the grandkids it’s heartbreaking not being able to hold them, when it’s all over I’m going to treat them rotten. Stay safe mate

Same here BLM...watching the wife standing at the living room window, staring aimlessly into space, with tears running down her cheeks. It breaks my heart to see her like this.
I've thought very hard how I can cheer her up....I've even considered letting her come in, but rules are rules !!

Some good news at these sad days,
some on here might know Jodie Travis who was one of our dancers the other day she became a mother and had a little girl

To all those saying that it's not as bad as a normal year (flu etc) ONS says there are usually 10000 deaths per week, the week ending 3rd of April there were 16000 deaths in that week

is there a way the season over there can go to December?

I don't think judging by news reports its going to start anytime soon

nrl is trying to return by MAY 28 (long shot)
