Yeah but it was all the “parkees” bulk buying all the toilet roll, according to a racist I know. I did point out to him that all the people I saw in toilet roll queues on TV were majority white and also my local “parkee” shop was keeping out back and only selling it to local, regular customers at the regular price. Bloody parkees coming over here keeping my family in toilet roll while hordes of white people are loosing their shit? Cheers Jay, the only thing I don’t like about him is he’s a fucking Villa fan. Other than that a good lad.

Many mosques have refused to shut and the original question was not even asked by him was it? I don’t see the question had any racist motive and was just a throwaway comment

You know it’s curious how many people write obscene things and say it was just a throwaway comment. Many white people around my way are still out playing football in the park or being dicks to shopping staff.

Yes very mature. Just curious why anyone would even attempt to mention a link between corona virus and the Muslim faith?

Is it because Corona sounds a bit like Quran?

The link I came was from a Muslim? There have been concerns within its own community and that although officials they have closed some members will ignore and meet elsewhere or secretly

White people don't have to answer for other white people though. Everyone else has to answer for “their community.”

one of the "beauties" of stupidity is that is open-minded - doesn't differentiate between sex, class, colour, religion, sexual orientation and so on

Yes your right G was a throwaway comment but you know how it is on here you get a few seeking some loving attention etc it’s common there is concerns as many Muslims are still meeting up as you said a lot of mosques have not closed I have many Muslim friends who also have shared the same concerns.

I’m the same as you. They advised making sure you’re taking a preventative inhaler at the correct times and dosage on a daily basis to help build up a resistance to the respiratory part of the virus should you get it. Got a preventative inhaler the other week for the first time in years. If you’ve not already got one and keeping on top of taking it you may want to consider it.

I tried to get one through an online pharmacy and got refused. Told me to go to the GP but I’m not going near a medical setting right now.

And other communities that they get lumped in with. Let’s face it, the next time a Hindu or Sikh from Indian origins gets called a Paki won’t be either the first or last time. Sadly.

I did t even know who said it but I knew it wasn’t that outlandish as there was an item on midlands today trying to put together some ideas on why Birmingham was impacted and it said pretty much the same as a possible theory and an MP was concerned social distancing was not being adhered to - I assume this guy

Just email your GP and ask them to send the prescription to a nominated pharmacy electronically. If it’s something you’ve had before for a diagnosed condition it shouldn’t be a problem. That’s all I did and only had to have the one interaction then with the pharmacy.

So happens to be a true story. Another Mercedes driving, brexiteering, Tommy Robinson fan who unfortunately I have to interact with for work purposes so I can’t escape them. edit, he’s from Mansfield area and that’s how he says it. Parkees or darkees. All the same to him.

And Jay runs the post office in Hillmorton. Go in and ask him if you like. He’ll confirm that’s what he did.

Annoyingly since the divorce and the move I don’t have a GP. Never registered at my new address.

I haven’t used an inhaler in maybe 15years do not sure it counts as current. But also haven’t been able to fill my lungs for two weeks so getting a little worried.

What is your point? That it’s Muslims to blame for the high numbers?

That is a problem. Have you tried 111? They might be able to sort it.

If it becomes too severe you may have to call the emergency services and they mag have to send an ambulance out - a doctor won’t be much use anyway

That’s basically been my thinking. I’m just staying at home coughing and wheezing for now, it either heals on its own or gets so bad I need hospital anyway.

Yes mate. In the morning it’s awful, coughing so much I think I’m going to be sick, clears up after a couple of hours and is just a slight cough until around 4/5pm when my chest starts tightening again.

I know there has been some criticism that people have been wasting time and equipment but Sarah Jarvis the TV GP said if it’s difficulty breathing it’s a symptom that you should go straight through to 999 and bypass the 111

Do-do chesteze tablets can offer some relief. I got caught short once on a weekend break with no inhalers miles from home. Something irritated my chest (a particular type of pollen I think) and I went to a local pharmacy and they recommended them. Not as effective as an inhaler but they took the edge off enough so I could sleep at night and not have to abandon a romantic weekend with my then girlfriend to go back home all because I forgot to pick up an inhaler.
