Here`s a few words from Matt Hancock earlier today on telly that ive just copied and pasted over from another site :

UK: Isolation for over-70s 'within weeks'

Every Briton over the age of 70 will be told "within the coming weeks" to stay at home for an extended period to shield them from coronavirus, Health Secretary Matt Hancock says.

He told the BBC the advice will not come into force just yet but when it does it will last "a very long time".

The government has faced pressure to do more to tackle the epidemic after the UK death toll rose to 21 on Saturday.

All deaths so far have been of people over 60 or with underlying conditions.

Over-70s - and younger people with certain health conditions - will need to remain at home and have groceries and vital medication delivered, the health secretary said.

Mr Hancock said people without symptoms would be able to visit older relatives and friends as long as they stayed two metres - or six feet - apart from them.

He said the NHS did not have enough ventilator machines to treat the numbers of people likely to become critically ill with the virus and said the government was urging a wartime-like response from manufacturers to produce them.

Car manufacturers, weapon makers and army suppliers will be asked to change their production lines to make ventilators.

The health service is to stop non-urgent surgery and implement a huge training programme to retrain medics from other specialisms to treat those who become seriously ill with the Covid-19 disease.

Hotels could be requisitioned to increase hospital bed space with retired doctors and nursing staff asked to go back to work.

"We will stop at nothing to fight this virus and I think people have got the impression otherwise," Mr Hancock said.

Mr Hancock was asked by the BBC's Andrew Marr when the new requirement for older and vulnerable people to isolate would begin.

He said: "I'm not going to go into any more detail on the timings because we want to be ready to say that when we judge, based on the scientific advice, that the time has come."

"We know that when you ask people to do this sort of thing that they can tire of it, it also has negative impacts," he added.

Mr Hancock warned: "Every single person in this country is going to be affected and they are going to have to do things."

Yup, just been isolated for a week with a persistent cough bringing up blood etc. A weeks worth of antibiotics (pointless its viral), steroids and an inhaler (i dont have asthma) but it helped. Back to work tomorrow and being removed from my department to go and work in the wards or I can find a new job. Nice. Kind of like ending up on death row, one strain down one left to catch....

and mix it with surgical spirit.

I do have Aloe Vera growing, but they are not really at harvesting size yet.

The Aloe Vera is just there to be kind on your skin, rather than killing any bacteria. I know the alcohol needs to be at least 60% for it to work. I was just wondering if I could mix it with a shop bought gel rather than using a leaf or two.
