The roads were much quieter on the drive to work this morning...so that's something I guess.

I have a 3-year old who needs a nap in the afternoon so she’s even remotely tolerable while on lockdown. We go for a drive every day and the roads have never been so easy in this country!

I'm on my way to a hospital. Whilst the rest of the country shuts down, my company hasn't even mentioned anything, and I work in the most likely place to catch the disease <laugh>

What do you do mate?

I work for the NHS and have to visit SGH a couple of times a week normally but that's all been stopped for now as I'm apparently considered high risk. Can see me working from home by the end of next week.

This from a BBC correspondent for Newsnight. Are we witnessing a cull of the weak and elderly?

Was on leave last week and came back today. I was surprised how busy it was on the train into work. No difference to usual that I could notice.

Still waiting to see if my work will be less busy due to job cancellation or more busy due to staff absences.
But at least my pay is secure, going to be far worse for the self employed.

Saint in Kuwait: Just a bit of easy maths. We have around 100 active cases here at the moment. At any given time there have been 6 in the ICU, most of those patients have been able to recover and 2 have double dipped and been in and out of ICU. That’s at a medical centre specifically given over to corona patients. That’s with rigid controls and throttling to ensure everyone is getting treatment ASAP and getting tested to confirm.

Bit concerned that throttling is a recommended treatment. <laugh>

They’ll throttle you if you don’t show up to get tested! This photo was the testing round for today. About 2,000 people.
 
Just been informed that if we want to return home and work remotely for the rest of the year that we’ll be allowed to if closure decisions allow!

I’m in no rush to go anywhere at all and the airport is closed but otherwise thanks for the offer!
