    How do you know you have the virus?

    Self isolation is recommended for people returning from an affected area, or a close contact, even if no symptoms. That's what the NHS recommends. Only a matter of time before the HSE copies and pastes.

    That is not correct. People are only being told to self isolate if they have reason to believe they might have contracted the virus and / or are displaying any flu like symptoms having been in an affected region.

    About yourself? A parent? A grandparent?

    Thanks for the thread title change. I was going to ask what Part III would be called.


    Everybody lie down on the floor and keep calm
    I'm going to start it now and close it until later on - I'm going to have limited access tomorrow and suspect we'll break the 10k threshhold if I don't get it up and running (with all the mod warnings in the OP)

    This is what the NHS says if you're been to one of the affected areas in northern Italy:
    For 14 days you should:
    1. stay at home
    2. not go to work, school or public areas
    3. not use public transport or taxis
    4. ask friends, family members or delivery services to carry out errands for you
    5. try to avoid visitors to your home - it’s OK for friends, family or delivery drivers to drop off food

    Oh right, that's the NHS then. The HSE don't seem to have issued any such advice.....they merely say anyone who suspects they might have contracted the virus should immediately self isolate.
