This is getting serious now.
I dont want to come across, as a tory stooge, and demand lockdowns and vaccines.
But im scared to leave my house, what should i do?

"Where there is person-to-person transmission, it is through very close, prolonged contact with someone with symptoms."

Seemingly according to the internet there is very little to worry about but research on the net I did and that is where the quote came from

But rats, were involved in the great plague!
Ive not left the house since friday, im terrified.
We need, lockdowns, and vaccines now!
And a bat is very much like a rat!

I was speaking to one of my best friends yesterday and he is a scientist. He has said there isn't much to worry about. Unless you are spending a lot of time, very close to an infected person or dealing with their bodily fluids, there isn't much chance of it spreading. Hopefully he's right. He is someone I trust and go to for advice with stuff like this (particularly with work as we deal with human samples). Don't hide away and don't panic.

Thing is, one of those delivery drivers, has broken my door bell.
He only rang it 6 times, then scuttled off like a rat.
He looked like he had recently, stepped off a boat... and had no mask.
Im going to complain about him.

 

[Ruskinredcoat]

i mean, i say he had no mask, this salt of the earth gentleman, was wearing a balaclava,
Its broad daylight, sunny, and im thinking whys he wearing 1?
Any ideals?

It wasn't the rats that caused the plague of london but the fleas on them

The Great Plague killed an estimated 100,000 people—almost a quarter of London's population—in 18 months.<a href="Great Plague of London - Wikipedia - Free Chat Rooms"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a><a href="Great Plague of London - Wikipedia - Free Chat Rooms"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a> The plague was caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium,<a href="Great Plague of London - Wikipedia - Free Chat Rooms"><span>[</span>4<span>]</span></a> which is usually transmitted to a human by the bite of a flea or louse.<a href="Great Plague of London - Wikipedia - Free Chat Rooms"><span>[</span>5<span>]</span></a>

He doesn't need to wear a mask. You are overreacting. Your doorbell is irrelevant as is your boat comment.

 

[Ruskinredcoat]

if he doesnt need a mask, he doesnt need a balaclava.

 

[CarrieUK]

You don't know the reason he was wearing it (if he was).

 

[Ruskinredcoat]

Oh, sorry, you could be right!
Maybe, i mistook, the balaclava, for a beret, or a cravat!
Easy done, when you are face to face!
Im sure he has his reasons for wearing 1, on a hot sunny day, nothing untoward, going on there!
Its not like you see this everywhere is it!
This was again a isolated case!

 

[CarrieUK]

So he rang your doorbell 6 times, broke it and ran off, yet you were face to face, despite being petrified in case you catch a virus? How did he look like 'he'd just got off a boat' if his face was covered with a balaclava?

Are you a wind-up account lol

 

[Ruskinredcoat]

guys? put yourself in my shoes here for 1 minute, thats all i ask.
I stated, im scared, suffering from trauma,
Then a man, a scary man, turns up at your house, in a bloody balaclava, rings your bell untoward amount of times.
Then shouts!
I can assure you, this was no joke

 

[CarrieUK]

You need to chill out
