The whole country here is now on lockdown until 3rd April.
Not sure it’s helpful comparing to something 50 years ago and the big impact is on the wider health service and actually being able to treat everyoneHong Kong Flu in 1968 killed 80,000 people in the UK. Is Corona really going to cause that many fatalities here?

Company over here has been talking about people using their annual leave until the 3rd April, fuck that, especially when there’s no reason why it’s not possible to work from home.If we get told to stay at home and self quarantine, who's going to pay our wages?

I'm in one right now and posting this from workIf I have no choice but to stay at home when I can quite easily go to work then I am not using annual leave and if it's out of my boss's hands why is he going to have to still pay me?
A lock down is going to cause so much shit, businesses won't be in business any more.
There was a taxi driver on the radio yesterday, saying he doesn't get sick pay and if he gets sick he will carry on working. Can't afford not to.spot on. People shouting about no airport checks and putting whole country in lock down aren’t considering the benefits (or not) and full implications of those decisions ie unless you start quarantining everyone off certain flights it will make very little difference - check someone’s temp off the plane ? What about everyone else that might’ve got it whilst on there that are not yet symptomatic ? Hopefully anyone knowingly ill wouldn’t have flown in the first place !
I still believe good personal hygiene and consideration for others (self isolate if you’ve been at risk) are the main way to stem the flow. Nobody knows for sure though.
ps this isn’t me being unsympathetic or not worried by the way but I believe the human cost of things like full lock downs (currently - it might have to be necessary at some point) are potentially far greater. It’s like the younger and healthier emptying the shelves and taking up all the home delivery slots....leave them for the elderly, those at greater risk and those that can’t get out the house FFS !

Very valid point. Who is going to look after the kids?Exactly.
The other thing is schools, if they close then parents can't go to work or have to pay a childminder.

Very true.That's the whole construction industry. Everyone goes to work ill as they can't afford to be off.
Are we taking this seriously enough? Are figures are roughly where Italy was two weeks ago and look at them now.
But we've just got Boris saying wash your hands and sing happy birthday. Heard talk on the radio tonight that he overruled the experts at the Cobra meeting today who wanted to bring in restrictions on public events and social media has loads of people saying they've flown into the country, some even from places with more severe outbreaks than us, without a word being said, no quarantine not even any mention of it.
It's a tough call, but imo we should have banned all travel from infected countries immediately.
I'm in one right now and posting this from workIt is going to majorly impact the already fragile economy here, especially tourism though.
Can we still do Blackpool away?

Sick boy - Ive heard Italys got a very good health care system but out of interest do they have the equivalent of NHS 111 ?
I think the schools will be amongst the first things to close. Then people can't go to work and businesses will struggle to function.
Or we send all these kids to be looked after by our elderly parents. Which doesn’t seem a very smart idea either.
