I think being from Warrington and knowing Corbyn's links with the IRA, might suggest he wasn't the most suitable to be leading our country?

Are you meaning genuine links or right wing media character assassination type links?

Or perhaps peace pursuit links as a forerunner to the likes of Bill Clinton, John Major, Tony Blair, Mo Mowlam, And even representatives of the Warrington Peace Centre

A 50:50 Chance ?

Last night at the briefing Patrick Vallance guestimated the number of people likely to be asymptomatic as 30%. On top of that we know a lot of people suffer only very mild symptoms (as opposed to mild which is 'flu-like') . Add the two together and perhaps there are around 50% of us that will receive immunity via infection but without suffering any serious consequences. Considering we will probably have to wait a further 12 months before any vaccine is available that sounds like good news to me.

You list actual presidents, ex-PM's & a Northern Ireland Secretary of State, who actually had the political authority to negotiate with terrorists.

And then there was pointless backbench MP, Corbyn, the great peace negotiator, who was so good at negotiating he only ever spoke to one side during his talks.

He was also a man who was happy to parade his killer friends around the mainland just days after they attempted to murder the British government.

He was never a peace negotiator, he was Republican supporter and if you try to deny that then you really are deluded.

Just a quick update for anybody interested in how this is riding out...

.. On day 10 now and can safely say this is now as bad as the 2 serious flu occasions I've had in my lifetime - First 3 days were a piece of cake to be honest. Apart from slight temperature, the main issue was being very fatigued, almost like jet lag.

However from day 4 until now, the fever has really kicked in - Temperature is consistently in the high 38's, with an actual high of 39.2 - Because of such a high temperature it makes actual sleep and rest very, very difficult, which in turn creates a catch 22 where the body gets very little recovery time.

Paracetamol is pretty much useless and eating and drinking is nigh on impossible because of a total lack of appetite, which obviously is causing hydration issues. (Even drinking water is a huge effort and I'm now having to resort to sucking ice cubes to both cool down and get some water on board).

The only positive so far is that while my cough is still persistent, it hasn't affected my breathing yet. Hopefully if it stays as so, then I can try to ride this out at home.

Both kids are pretty much 100 % now, though they had very mild symptoms. My wife, who's about 3 or 4 days ahead of me, is finally showing signs of coming out the other side, though 14 days in , she is far from being recovered- her appetite is pretty restricted to toast and fruit.

In summary, I think if somebody can advise how to ride out a sky high temperature, then I might just be fine with this!!

Hope you recover asap..just a thought is it possible for your family to get outside I.e in back garden for fresh air rather than being indoors...fingers crossed for you

Thanks... yes, probably the one bit of respite is the half decent weather providing an opportunity to get away from the 4 walls!!

Actually had my first decent night's sleep for about a week last night and temperature is down to acceptable level (37.5) for first time in an age too, so like you, I've got my fingers crossed.

I apologise, I'm bored and fed up with this virus and to be honest, there's not a lot of RL to discuss, is there?
