They will just lock down tiny areas, until it's gone, stay on top of it. We're an Island, we could have stopped this with a month's very tight border control and flights stopped.
My mates just been taken into hospital in Spain with it, they can't find him a bed though, bastard Germans have got their towels on them all.
Joking aside, I hope you're mum is okay mate I really do but I genuinely do not believe a lock down is the right way to go. I guess we all want what is best for ourselves, you're thinking about your mum, me I am thinking financially because I don't believe I would die from it. If I am wrong and I did or a loved one did then I wouldn't be impressed. I lost my father years ago, my mum hasn't spoken to me for 10 years and her last words to me were "consider me dead" so I genuinely don't care if she takes a hit
Blame remainers, we could have been out of the EU long ago and had tighter control
FFS and I thought Glory was heartless, I think you should ban yourself until the virus clears up
I actually spoke to a guy who is an English teacher in China. Has been for years. He told me that one of two things happened (or a combination of the two).
1. They locked everything down. It stopped spreading immediately and doesn't seem to be bouncing back.
2. Whilst on lockdown the sunshine came out and it got warmer. Since then people have stopped dying.
His advice to me was to be careful for the next few weeks until the weather warms up. Nothing drastic, just common sense stuff like avoiding crowds and don't use public transport at rush hour etc if you can help it. He also said that all these mild cases are few and far between and that if you get coronavirus then you WILL know about it.
He"s been through the lockdown without being affected by it and normality is returning to China. He is not at the epicentre but a little north of it. Lots of people still in masks but restaurants are now open and its business as usual.
Parts of Oz not so warm! Look at a map and notice how close Melbourne is to the South Pole!
Don't need to, I lived in NZ for 12 years, a Melbourne summer is hotter than a UK summer 27° today.
Yeah, I hear you. I'm just regurgitating info from a guy who I barely know in China. I have no reason to doubt him.
The sentence that stuck in my mind was when he said "when it got warmer, people stopped dying!"
He has in the last few weeks really gone to town on China for these illegal markets and how this is the "third time these ****s have ground things to a halt over some **** eating bats and snakes!". He has also stated that they haven't cut any corners regarding the shut down and that it has worked.
FWIW I don't think its something to really panic about but I don't think it should just be dismissed as a bit of flu. It's probably somewhere inbetween. Be aware of it, be careful around elderly relatives and do what you reasonably can to avoid getting it.
Mikel Arteta positive for coronavirus! Arsenal won't be playing for a few weeks! Had been in contact with the Forest owner when Arsenal played the Greek team Olympiakos Feb 27th. Since then they played two games.
This season will not be finished at this rate.

The manufacturers of these gels and sanitisers must be rubbing their hands together….

EFL Official Statement - March 12, 2020
In light of today’s announcement by the UK Government, EFL matches will continue to take place as normal while the guidance from the relevant authorities remains that there is no medical rationale to close or cancel sporting events at this time.
The EFL, however, will continue to work with Government and relevant stakeholders to further develop contingency plans to ensure the League is best placed to act as and when any potential restrictions may come into force.
Immediately following the announcement by the Prime Minister, EFL Chair Rick Parry held discussions with the FA and Premier League and agreed on a consistent approach ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures. Matters will be further discussed at a meeting called by European Football’s Governing body, UEFA, on Tuesday 17 March.
The League will continue to liaise with the Government regarding ongoing developments and will continue to work with Clubs to ensure players, staff and supporters are updated and appraised accordingly.
These matters are, of course, subject to change and we will update as appropriate.

They must be the other team with players showing symptoms. It's been 2 weeks since they played and only now showing up
they were supposed to be clear to play after today.
Wearing the masks probably means they are very careful about washing hands often, not touching surfaces in public places, etc. Most of the masks out there are not designed to stop this virus, so wearing them is pointless.
