I know that is a worry. I work in a hospice and if one of the patients there caught anything like this virus it would probably be fatal.

was reading that the 99p stores are selling masks now.

So will you be buying them...just to be on the safe side??

I am a little anxious about getting it now they are saying how bad it will be in the winter, but if your gonna get it your gonna get it!! Cant wear a mask forever!! Plus you cant send the kids to school in a mask all day....or are they gonna be given the winter off??!!

We've just had the leaflet through the door about it from the government. It says there's no point getting a face mask because it's usually spread through the virus being on someone's hand.

You're better off either washing your hands often or using the sanitizing gel you get in hospitals.
