Stavertongirl 1,719 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 An expert has said that it may be that some people have a natural immunity to the virus. He was citing one of the cruise ships that had to be quarantined. A small ray of hope possibly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tell me which crystal ball he's looked into. Just read this link, he's unbelievable and stupid to open everything up again for Easter. Maybe he's trying to infect those of you that are left.

On the other hand.. if Govt give an MOT amnesty for a few months the problem is solved. 6 months extension for car MOTs announced earlier.

MargieH 7,600 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 One of our sons is planning to fetch his eldest boy from Newcastle where he's at Uni. There were 5 of them in the student house but his housemates have all gone home now so he's stuck there by himself... and definitely not very happy. I expect our son may be stopped a few times on the A1 to explain where he's going.. hope he keeps his cool. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No body knows not even my SIL who is in touch telephonically with Croce verde volunteers for ambulance which has been stopped, it's the local grapevine. Obviously someone has entered the village or someone has slipped out. Hope she or he gets in touch with whoever they've been close to. Theres always someone who thinks they're immune. Just hope they haven't got elderly or children in the house. Very irresponsible, now we have to wait before we hear if anyone else has got it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
