I feel bit better talking about it. And I wasn’t personally saying you werent helping you were helping and I hope you didn’t hear that negatively from me I was just saying sometimes we all need a hand along the way. The way they’ve got us all on high alert id probably stub my toe and question is it coronavirus it’s all very high alertish atm. I’ve been ill all week enough to be in bed for most of it I feel very disorientated from myself and my reality. Not fun.

You are correct, BlueIris.
The trouble is, there is a lot of conflicting (and confusing) info circulating both online and in real life ATM concerning both symptoms and causes of CV, and certain factions of the population are probably exploiting this pandemic with misinformation in order to fulfill their own personal agendas, though, in fairness, some of those people may in turn be confused by all of this themselves.
Just to re-iterate, the three 'key' symptoms to watch out for are prolonged bouts of dry coughing, temperature of 37.8C (or higher), and/or loss of taste/smell. Remember stomach upsets (in whatever form), though of course can still be accountable, are fairly low down the pecking order of CV-related symptoms, and thus one of the lesser/rarer symptoms.
BTW, last night the list/column of 'Most Read' news articles on the BBC News website sported fewer COVID-19-related articles for the first time probably since about mid-March at the very latest.

I think this is a brilliant post too, it sums up just about everything that's happened since this year came in. And while realising economies must be kick started again to put bread back on the table, I'm wondering how the changes observed in the natural world will be looked back on. Fish swimming in the canals of Venice, Everest being visible from a 100 odd miles away for the first time in donkey's years. Will these become just temporary aberrations in the continuing destruction of our planet? Or a hope that mankind really can turn back the tide of wreckage that we as a species have unleashed?
Sitting down by my pond in the garden, I can see the movement of frogs in amongst the water plants. Behind me in the ash tree I can hear a brood of baby blue tits being fed by their busy parents. Different species of both solitary and bumble bees are buzzing in and out of the flowers. Its quite humbling to see nature going about its business in spite of everything that has been threatening us humans, as if in total ignorance of the grandoise impression we seem to have of ourselves.

Sounds like you’ve got a lovely little spot in your garden there fish man
I'd love to be a baby blue tit being nurtured at the moment...instead of feeling a right tit instead!
You enjoy your own personal Nature Watch, fishman....It beats Covid Watch any day! Whatever brings you peace and solace has got to be a bonus.
Hey guys, I hope everyone is safe and well.
I'm having a huge panic today as my wife has been told four people at her care home now have the virus. She was tested on Weds and we are awaiting the results. I'm terrified!
Oh I’m sorry, that must be a scary wait. I hope she’s ok.
