Anyone got info about the new case in South Manchester (wythenshawe hospital)? Have a family immunocompromised member due to go there v soon and want to give them more detail so they can decide if to cancel..

“Today we’re announcing that people self-isolating will get Statutory Sick Pay from the first day off work. This will be included in emergency coronavirus legislation.” — PM @BorisJohnson t.co/v8rxS1oj6J

Jay people are shit, no use in engaging with them just keep a safe distance away from them.

Not sure if this has been posted. It's great. Update every 10 minutes and was made by a high school student!

Fifth Greater Manchester Coronavirus case confirmed this time at Wythenshawe Hospital-A spokesperson for Health and Social Care in Manchester confirmed the hospital remains open to the public, and patients should keep planned appointments. t.co/VGDG2LxuCe t.co/QKrkU1oE3q

Waiting for today's update.

Oops sorry link didn't work

I'm dreading today's update. The dread gets worse every day.
None in my county yet but that won't last forever.

I'd avoid that link if you're feeling anxiety around the whole thing though.

Do you think there will be updated travel advice from Italy too? Now that they're closing all schools, surely travel advice for self isolating WITHOUT SYMPTOMS shouldn't just be from those specific lockdown areas... Especially if people have been to North Italy

I don't think today's jump will be as much as yesterday.. I suppose time will tell though.

#Manchester based manufacturer PZ Cussons, which makes hygiene products from brands like Carex, says it has 'significantly increased' production of hand gel and soap to cope with 'exceptional demand' due to #coronavirus.

It says it's working at 'full capacity' to stock shops. t.co/4WSrOLkF2D

Bojo I hope so, how can they say it’s fine to go to Italy when the whole country is potentially affected. Their tourism industry will be decimated though. I expect France and Germany in a week or so.

does anyone else type out questions or comments and then delete them because you reread them and you sound like a mad person. asking for a friend......

Italy to close all schools and universities across the country for two weeks to control coronavirus outbreak, Italian news agency reports

@Wehttam all the time!

Keeping up with the guardian live updates too. Just seen that Italy are playing series A football games behind closed doors and the England V Italy match may be cancelled as well next week. It's unnecessary surely to play sports games and would cancel out the large gathering prospect too.

I didn’t realise the WHO had raised the death rate to 3.4% yesterday. Saying also they need to ramp up PPE production by 40%.

How anyone can still be in denial about the situation is beyond me.

Those looking for antibacterial gel..you can buy 5 litre container from here for £29.99 free delivery.

Could share with others as it is a large amount. Just to add it is 65% alcohol based. Hope this helps

Economic strife incoming

Breaking: Flybe has told the government that it is running out of cash and will not survive until the end of the month. Airline has been hit by slump in bookings since COVID-19 outbreak. FlyBe says it needs a decision on its request for taxpayer loan of £100m “in the coming days”

I work in a city centre and the streets are a lot quieter than usual on a lunchtime....

The IOC are meeting today to discuss contingencies for the Tokyo Olympics. That press conference will be interesting. Sunk costs are in he order of $billions.

I feel quite calmed by the post earlier saying it’s likely to be widespread and that the strategy is avoiding overloaded hospitals and pushing the peak back a few months. i don’t know why, I think it makes me feel a little less out of control of the situation. If we don’t get it, great but I’m preparing that we probably will.

Anyway, I expect today’s to be quite a jump. 63?

Oh gosh, 3.4% deaths rate is really bad. 1 in 30

Red tip of the iceberg.

There seem to be a lot of big decisions happening today, and not before time... Schools etc in Italy and France, events being cancelled in UK, the list goes on...
