Hi there. I received a text this morning from NHS saying that I could open a window but couldn't go outside my property. It also said I couldn't take my rubbish out. I have already been in the house for 3 weeks but am I to understand that I can't even go on my garden now? Have you or do you know of anyone else who has had this text. I am now feeling as if I am in prison?

 I've been listening to the coronavirus meeting by the NHS and the government as people telling me different things so I have found out that they are trying different tests the one I saw recently was on face book about using the Ebola treatment, and then they try something else, when we had a pandemic for swine flu  they soon found a treatment for that so why is it taking to long for this ,surely with all the world having this they can't all get together and sort this out there are people acting like idiots and ignoring the rules we will never get rid of this ,why cant they use stronger rules and fine them more money or maybe put them all on house arrest now papers are saying that they are going to make us elderly stay in there is a up roar over this are we not considered as equal surely it should be up to the individual if they want to go out why cant us elderly wear masks

If the antibiotics don't work Debs3121 you should go to the hospital as you might need the antibiotics by drip I have COPD and brochuectuis probably not spelt right lol but seriously the hospital is probably cleaner than any other place I was told not to be scared to go I had a infection 2 weeks ago but the antibiotic worked in the house. .
