@QueenofmyPrinces I don't think you are being ridiculous at all. I would be concerned travelling out there and having to stay in isolation. I would much prefer to be at home. I'm due to fly to the states in 4 weeks and feeling very anxious about it

similar here: primary school is great about hand hygiene.
they had a special assembly and the pta organised hand soad & refills and paper towels.
secondary...well we reminded dc about handwashing and general hygiene. but teenagers are teenagers

I’ve just got off the train from Manchester, an elderly man coughing intermittently with a dry cough and didn’t once use his hand. A young girl, sneezing into her hands, no tissue. I really felt like saying something.

If the dog having it is correct, I bet that will make a lot more people realise the severity, in my experience animals are extremely emotive. Will Crufts go ahead?

85... wow that's quite a jump. What number will my parents/in-laws need it to be until they take it seriously?

Hasa they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place because of the job losses and the image that creates but also because as you say it would be expected if Virgin or others needed a bailout. The job losses could be horrific from this with no recovery insight for a good while.

Also this is just the airline industry, retail is going to be be a disaster, this will nail HOF and Debenhams coffins shut for ever as people stay away from the shops for the next couple of months at least. Those companies would expect government help too. It’s a crippling effect IF it gets to the stages like Italy etc.

Can I wake up from this now please.

@RazzleDazzle26, I did a bit of internet googling and running cold water plus soap does the job.

If anyone knows otherwise let me know!

They aren't going to tell us where any more 😭

85 😳 bloody hell.

I was in Boots today and I felt disgusted.
An sales assistant sneezed, I could clearly see the mist around, she had no tissue, or even used her elbow or sleeve - nothing...
Just laughed it off.
I could not believe it.
Also went to Asda,, Tesco and Sainsbury’s- all business as usual, nothing sold out, loads of toilet paper, water, pasta... apart from hand gel obviously..

Fourducksate Do say something. I usually shout TISSUE sternly and that spurs them in to action with no comeback, they think you are mad enough to kick off so just do as they’re told.

I know a couple of the new cases are in London. Tube travellers.

Lots of people outside and in shops coughed today, no tissues nothing..

If have reported her under normal circumstances but especially now.
We've just had advice via school. Hopefully the families who have been in areas that require self isolation will now keep their children away.

They aren't telling us??

I feel utterly powerless.

@woodencoffeetable, ah yes the teenager. We are just at the "mother is SUCH an idiot" stage.

My adult child is actually being brilliant all round, also says college students using hand gel sanitizer at lunch time.

85 cases now, huge jump :(

Why won't they be telling us where?

I was in a local small seaside (retirement) town this morning about 7 miles away from confirmed cases. I heard elderly people in at least 2 shops ask for hand sanitiser and were told the whole town was sold out. The elderly aren't so likely to shop online and many only travel locally - so once again the most vulnerable are left behind.

Yes that is very much the balance how much can you shut down because the implications/job losses/potential deaths from it are just as scary/likely as from the virus himself

And that is the problem the Government have - and the other thing is you cannot simply look at a death rate of 3.4% as being a simplistic measurement either

85!!!!

OMG

Dept of Health have said on their twitter page that they won't be telling us locations daily anymore due to the increased number of cases, and that they will be doing it weekly from now on - Friday apparently.

I was exaggerating when I perdicted 70 today - actually pretty worried now.

I think the statutory sick pay being given on day one is a pathetic move to be honest it's just passing the burden to businesses.
As a small business owner how am I supposed to pay for that? I work in the fitness industry my business is going to be ruined over this.
If no customers come to my business I'm still expected to pay rent, business rates, accountancy fees, software fees and all the other running costs. If my staff then all need to self isolate I'll be well and truly fucked.

85! Wow wasn't expecting that.

Where are you all getting this info from??!! Cannot see 85 on any online news source!?
