Yep, 7000 Spanish fans - a rough guess of 3,500 to Anfield on Wednesday, same to the Etihad next Tuesday.

The god worm.

I can't see why not.

One person on a bike isn't going to do much?

I can't see why people can't go for walks in the countryside, wood's, beaches...

What I wouldn't do is a play ground. Play park. Play area.

Anywhere where lots of people are.

Or where lots of families go.
I wouldn't go to the cafe when out or eat out..

I cannot fathom however why pretty solitary outings wouldn't be OK.

Well, let's see the #cases in the NorthWest, 2 weeks after that match
One way to run an experiment I suppose

@ChardonnaysPetDragon
Nobody is fawning over anything, however the Chinese achieved something nobody thought possible. The WHO has praised the action they took and as a China resident living 280 miles from Wuhan I am more than relieved that people were put before the economy.
This does not negate the fact that there was a cover up at the beginning.
Re wild animal trade - restrictions were brought in two weeks ago. Am sure we can all agree this should have been done after SARS.

Unfortunately most pandemic planning and modelling seems to be based on flu

I'm in the NW. brilliant

it's still going ahead?

hoovermyrug yes, in my overactive brain of endless hypotheticals, I'd wondered that too. Maybe I'd just be left there for the magpies to eat.

@ClientQueen

Same here.
I'm supposed to be at one of the games ...

The legislature was in prep from what I have seen, but this gavrnit the needed push through!

Thank goodness

Doctor in sky news says the Draconian measures in Wuhan were a bad intervention and increased cases.

Is this correct?

Just popping in to say I do hope that those of you that ordered hand gel, get it - I and one other person on this thread received our orders, and mine was relatively fast as well, a few weeks ago. The website says current stock 100. They have a landline phone number if anyone did want to enquire: 01704894808, going by the section at the bottom of their site.

Depends on the rules for the specific lockdown:

Either people are allowed to go out to very small gatherings,
OR
people must stay home 24/7 and are not allowed to go for walks, dog walks, runs, cycles etc

In the case of ordered self-isolation, that certainly means staying home,
at most outside in your own garden, so long as it is not a communal one with neighbours

The draconian measures no doubt contributed to the fact there have been only 700 cases in my province and no deaths. I live 280 miles from Wuhan.

Whole of Italy on lockdown! Wow

@GPwife2411 am sure we will. Not worried about it - I imagine they are busy!

We will not conform shanghai. Not without similar consequences

Big choc, how does going on solitary family walk impact anyone though?

Head teachers and their Boards of Governors will take the ultimate decision to close individual schools temporarily.

This is the government's get out clause for everything in education.

Isolation is isolation...stay away from others, stay indoors.

Its going to send people bonkers!

Gosh poor Italy - they're really having a hard time.

Yes but I know where I can walk and stay away from others.

GPwife2411 I'm sure they are overwhelmed with orders...will be good if it comes but if not, no worries

What happens if everyone goes on a "solitary" walk? Not quite so solitary.

This is unprecedented apple.news/AOg4DA3QJSSWngefQi6UkxQ
