Maclennane Mar 2020 6:11pm, 12 Mar 2020 23,599 posts	0 Maclennane I had my plague plan in place, I was going to head to the hills with my bivvy and basha, but here I am with a (mild) fever and a can of stilton and broccoli soup
Raemond Mar 2020 6:13pm, 12 Mar 2020 4,504 posts	0 Raemond Can you at least heat the soup by holding the can against your forehead?
Dave A Mar 2020 6:14pm, 12 Mar 2020 22,374 posts	0 Dave A I’ve been in a busy office today, used the gym whilst other users are there then had a wash in the gyms communal shower. I’m doing well so far.
Maclennane Mar 2020 6:16pm, 12 Mar 2020 23,600 posts	0 Maclennane the leccy's still on, so I can heat the soup. Might risk a trip to the coop in my biohazard suit
Paul N Mar 2020 6:25pm, 12 Mar 2020 797 posts	0 Paul N New continuous cough here. ✋ Also a wife and three kids of three and under in the house as well, so the practicalities are totally lost on me. Is it simply a case that I don’t leave the house? Or do I head into the attic with a bucket and the complete works of Shakespeare for the week?
Raemond Mar 2020 6:30pm, 12 Mar 2020 4,505 posts	0 Raemond In theory the latter - separate room from everyone else at all times, don't share the bathroom if you can help it, or use it after everyone else has and then clean it thoroughly after yourself. Don't even put your laundry in the same basket. How possible that is in real life...
Wriggling Snake Mar 2020 6:37pm, 12 Mar 2020 25,803 posts	0 Wriggling Snake I think the idea is too think.of the wider community...if you have it, it takes 5 to12 days to get noticed, so everyone else in your house probably has already.....so you are isolating a household rather than a person.
Too Much Water Mar 2020 6:40pm, 12 Mar 2020 7,115 posts	0 Too Much Water If you’re self isolating, can you for example go out for a walk on your own. There’s lots of open parkland nearby so it would be possible to walk for for half an hour without being in close contact with anyone
Marvin Mar 2020 6:51pm, 12 Mar 2020 85 posts	0 Marvin Well the official Public Health England advice is that you should not leave the house even for a walk; gov.uk
Rosehip Mar 2020 7:01pm, 12 Mar 2020 15,286 posts	0 Rosehip why on earth can someone who lives by open fields and can stay well away from anyone else not go for a walk? - what happens if you live alone and have a dog that needs to go for a walk?
