I went to the Selly Oak A&E yesterday with chest pain, had an ECG and X-Ray.
I swear to you, if you are told you might have it you are directed through a set of double doors to the right to be greeted by individuals wearing surgical masks and basic plastic aprons. I know because i saw it happen to two individuals.
The outside 'Corona Pod' is not for people who may have it, only confirmed cases that are so serious they are brought in by ambulance. Once again, this was witnessed.
Until you are confirmed you wait in a section of A&E seperated only by a set of double doors. It's absolute madness.

I really hope it’s some other infection since 3 other family members have picked it up and we live in different houses (same locale).

Because I'm going to a concert at the end of the month that I've been waiting years to go to, so they'll sort it out in April.

>the UK the only country not implementing social distancing policies
because the british are already the most socially distant people ever they despise so much everybody else they will not fight the virus, they will deride it, mock it, and let it die from scorn

If it's a concert maybe but I'm talking about sport events where you're basically at the same place for the duration of the event. Taking public transport is just as dangerous.

Well I haven't gotten myself checked, I'm just speaking from what I've seen here in Antrim

You realize that at a sporting event apart from the direct vicinity of 5 people, you might be touching a doorknob, going to a concessions stand, paying with cash, or a bunch of other things that mean you will indirectly come into contact with more people, right? Or, that if someone sneezes in a classroom, the droplets probably won't land on as many people as the clustered seating in a movie theatre or sports arena? More people = more vectors for disease.
Also, I still don't understand how this herd immunity thing will work considering almost 30% of patients need ICU care. This 'herd' strategy is going to make that 30% much larger and lead to a surge that virtually noone's emergency medical infrastructure is prepared for.
Plus, symptoms in older kids and teens are reportedly so mild that they can go unrecognized, yet the kids can still spread it. This is the demographic that older people will probably will spend the most time with.

On second thought, this is clearly a conspiracy by the UK government to kill off the boomers, thus cutting public healthcare expenses and shifting demographics to make the UK the post-apocalyptic mulatto dystopia they've always dreamt of it being

uk govt are a bunch of brain dead goons, made up of daddies boys from public school and diversity hires. they are clueless, in a month people will want to kill them all.
