Thanks for the new thread.

I've just sorted my corona cupboards out. I think we're good for 3 weeks, 4 at a push. I started preparing in January.

I'm nervous for 12pm ...

Thanks @ofwarren for the new thread! I like when you start them, it just makes it easy to spot all your updates!

My DP is a teacher and his school have been told nothing about closing down any time soon. However we are in a county with no positive cases (yet)

Just been to Morrison’s it was absolutely manic, the poor staff looked ready to break

they must be thinking about it. I dont necessarily think it will happen instantly but may well be more planned (an increased school holiday) in order to allow people to get plans in place

@justyou
I think the shops will be interesting today. I expect we will see some more panic buying, depending on what comes from the cobra meeting.

JUST IN: 1075 new coronavirus cases in Iran over the past 24 hours, as death toll rises to 429.

My husband was supposed to be going on a trip this weekend and his Headteacher has said that if he doesn’t go then he will reimburse the hotel and flight costs.

We are also supposed to be going abroad in 4 weeks time and my husband has been told that he will have to self isolate for two weeks when he gets back.

I’m a nurse and I have no idea what my ward’s stance would be regarding returning to work after foreign travel.

I expected a little busier but nothing like this, it was like the Christmas shop experience

FTSE down another 6% today, I suppose we'll have to expect more of the same for a while.

Thanks for the new thread, please can we have a clicky link to the old one?

@heathspeedwell
There is a clicky link on there.
It's blue and underlined on mine.
We had this issue yesterday. I think some people see them and some don't.

Is the link to the previous post clicky to everyone else?

My school hasn't breathed a word about closure despite one family self-isolating on account of contact with a confirmed case; not even a deep clean. Business as usual. I suspect we'll limp along until Easter.

EU Commission says it disapproves the U.S. decision to impose a travel ban that was taken unilaterally and without consultation

Sorry ofwarren, it's not clicky on my screen.

Italians with coronavirus symptoms who refuse to isolate could face 21 years in prison for 'malicious murder' t.co/joFqe1gEes

It’s not a clicky one for me

Clickly for me, but sometimes I do get ones that just say 'click here' that aren't actually clicky

Trump's travel ban also of course excludes his various resorts in the Uk & Ireland

He has previous for using his position as POTUS to benefit his hotels etc

I don't know how to change it if it's clicky on mine though.
Mumsnet is so weird like this at times. I don't know what to suggest.
Are you on a phone or computer? I'm on an android phone, using the app.

Why ARE the clicky links weird like that?
It's so frustrating.
I sometimes see ones I can't click too.

I work in a uni and we've been asked to plan/prepare for closure. Just by the higher up uni people, not by the govt!

Thanks ofwarren, I'm on a computer, I'll see if it works on my phone and maybe that will help us to work out the glitch in the system.

viva I bet that's what's happening. Schools using their initiative 'just in case'. Very sensible really.
