CORONAVIRUS LATEST: What We Should ALL Be Doing Now!
I was shocked and angry with people interviewed on TV last night and posts on social media, stating that people were going to selfishly carry on as normal and continue going out socially to the pub etc and saying they wanted to support local businesses so they don't go under – by deliberately mixing with others, you are spreading the virus to someone else. Some people are carriers and have no symptoms – so imagine you are that carrier, you go into a pub and have a lovely evening and sod everyone else – you pass on the virus to someone else, who then passes it onto their elderly mother or father and dies. You may pass it on to another person who also will carry the virus with no symptoms themselves and they in turn pass it onto to someone else, who will show symptoms and either become ill, seriously ill or die. We are all in the most seriously situation we have ever been in and if we don't take action now, we will lose thousands and thousands of people in the UK alone.
So PLEASE follow the government's latest advice.
I TOTALLY agree with what David Futrelle posted on Twitter last night:
So PLEASE follow the government's latest advice.
I TOTALLY agree with what David Futrelle posted on Twitter last night:
"Most people staying home aren't doing so out of fear; they're trying to avoid becoming coronavirus vectors that could sicken and kill vulnerable others. Going out to bars and restaurants isn't "brave," it's selfish, the moral equivalent of deliberately coughing in someone's face"

Bird Therapy at Cley & Salthouse!
Stunning sunset this evening at Coastguards, Cley
You can sense the fear of the Coronavirus pandemic all around you. Every step you take, every mile driven, every shop visited, the constant news on the TV and radio. Its here and its not even hit us yet – its going to be a long few months. It will affect every aspect of our lives, our health, our loved ones, our jobs, our movements, our birding, everything. It is consuming us, everyday and it will affect people's mental health and wellbeing, the longer it goes on. I'm not looking forward to returning to work tomorrow at all – I know it will feel very different – with no visitors allowed, it will be very weird indeed. As time goes on, we will more than probably end up nursing instead of doing therapy and being moved to other parts of the hospital to cover for staff who fall ill to this awful virus.
Anyway..... back to today! I think I have sorted out the awful rat situation I have had over the last few weeks – it got so serious that I had to take all my bird feeders down. Today, I put all the feeders back up – the birds were so happy! No sign of any rats so far, fingers crossed! Cleaned all the bird ponds out and then spent a while indoors thinking about all the awful things going on in the world, including very sad things going on with people I know and then fell asleep.
I decided I better get some birding in before we all end up quarantined! Headed east and popped into CleySpy briefly to return something and then headed to Salthouse. Parked up by the duck pond and scattered some of my home-made bread that had gone a bit stale, for the ducks and gulls – it seemed to be very much appreciated. Walked up Grout's Lane to see the Waxwings and luckily managed to see one only, that was perched high up on a pine tree branch in the sunshine – but it flew shortly after I saw it, so no pictures. I can't remember the last time I got a decent picture with my SLR! Grout's Lane has some very pretty gardens and leads up to the church.
I passed John Furse along the road, who stopped briefly to tell me there was a Wheatear at the pill box by the Eye Field. I headed east to try and find my own at Gramborough Hill, Salthouse. Parked up along Beach Road and had a lovely walk to G.H. Found some Pied Wagtails, Meadow Pipits, 2 Little Egrets, a Hedge Sparrow and 2 Redshanks in the pool just west of the hill and also 2 Ringed Plovers flew across the field. Sadly I didn't find my own Wheatear! Ambled back to the car. Saw John again, who kindly told me the white Barn Owl was sitting on a post along the main road near the bottom of Old Woman's Lane – stopped briefly to watch this wonderful Barn Owl and saw it dive down into the grass to catch something – it returned to the post to enjoy its meal! I tried to do a phone-scope video, but poor light and distance resulted in a rubbish result – headed to Coastguards.
Saw Richard Porter at Coastguards, who had just seen the Wheatear and kindly gave me some directions to the exact spot where he had seen it. I walked way beyond the pill box and initially could not find the Wheatear. Lots of Brent Geese and Greylag Geese were looking beautifully orange as the sun was setting. I took some sunset pictures and was close to giving up in the fading light, when I suddenly found the cracking male Wheatear – the first one of the Spring at Cley! It was a magical sight to see – my first Spring migrant! Returned to my car, had a coffee and an egg sandwich and drove home listening to Hayla's NAKED, Example's Sun Hits Your Eyes, All Night and Show Me How To Love. Good Night.

CORONAVIRUS IN NORFOLK!
THREE CONFIRMED CASES AT THE QEH, KING'S LYNN AND ONE AT THE NORFOLK AND NORWICH HOSPITAL
https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/health/first-three-coronavirus-cases-in-norfolk-confirmed-in-kings-lynn-1-6561833
https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/health/first-coronavirus-case-confirmed-at-norfolk-and-norwich-university-hospital-1-6561908
Reading various social media sites last night, I found it quite shocking, that so many people seemed to genuinely believe that there were not any cases of Coronavirus in Norfolk yet! There will be many, many cases in Norfolk already – far, far more than the four reported cases today. Its obvious! People are being asked to self isolate for 7 days if they have symptoms of a dry cough and or a temperature and only then to ring 111 for advice, if symptoms carry on after that or worsen. The incubation period (we are told) is 5 days. So, imagine all those people that are carrying the virus unknowingly for 5 days, then being ill for another 7 days (some won't self isolate), then ringing 111 and then being advised to go to a Coronavirus pod to be tested. In that 5 day incubation period, that person could have travelled all over the place...... a supermarket, a friend's house, the pub, a restaurant, visiting a relative or friend in hospital and the list goes on! Frighteningly, its going to be a long and scary few months for many, many people.
I'm sure many of my colleagues feel the same as I do right now – the last place we want to be is working, is in a hospital that has Coronavirus, but this is our jobs and as they say 'the show must go on'. There are patients to be looked after – they can't be left to fend for themselves! Also, I knew nothing about the cases in the QEH, until someone texted me to say it was on the EDP website today. There are no toilet rolls or hand sanitisers in King's Lynn today, I discovered and stocks of certain items are all really low.

KEY POINTS TO FOLLOW:
- Wash hands thoroughly for 20 seconds at least, properly and regularly
- Don't touch your face at all when out in public... eyes, nose, mouth AT ALL
- Use hand sanitiser (if you have any!) when you return to your car OR
- Wash hands properly as soon as you get home before you touch anything
- Wash your mobile phone (after turning off) using a micro cloth with small amount of soap or washing up liquid and water, squeeze cloth and lightly rub over phone (avoiding the cable point and speaker), then rinse with water and dry phone.
- Always cough or sneeze into a tissue
- Avoid public places where avoidable eg, pub, restaurant, cinema etc
- DO NOT visit a pharmacy, GP or hospital if you think you have Coronavirus – do the following:
- Self-isolate at home for 7 days if you live alone – if your symptoms get worse or are not better at the end of 7 days, phone 111 for advice* or on-line https://111.nhs.uk/
- If you live with other people and ANY of you have symptoms, then you must all self-isolate for 14 days
- *You may then be tested for the virus at the hospital
BE KIND AND LOOK AFTER EACH OTHER

MY DREAM HOUSE AND LOCATION!!!
This house could not be more perfect in every single way. My closest neighbour would be Niki and Piet, who own the Voortrekker Self-Catering Apartments – you can see these apartments in the pictures below!!! A stunning property, modern inside, ready to move into, established garden, sea view, polytunnel all ready for growing veg etc etc. I'm £50,00 short though, even after selling my house. 😞
