I’m on oxford street in London.

I have been to London many times before. And I have never seen it so quiet on a sat. It is so empty.

@Becca19962014 - Take very good care.

My town bustle and busy as normal

"The coffee shops are empty"

BBC has an article saying that this is an existential threat to coffee shops and similar places

I guess it is

I love Voyager, it is the comfort food of TV for me.

Its busier than Ive ever seen here! North West.

Just a normal busy Saturday in my city, coffee shops full as well. The guy in front of me at Primark (50's) was coughing his guts up - lovely!!!!

@AuntieStella we choose an independent one. Not sure our little coffees will help but it’s something

It is very eerie I know. I was in Hastings on Thursday and have never seen it so quiet. It's perfect for me as I struggle with a lot of people, but very strange.

It is going to hit a lot of businesses badly I'm sure.

I'm in east London and it's buzzing.

I think it's totally irresponsible though for your specialists to tell you that. Surely no one can know that for sure?

My mum has a compromised immune system and damaged lungs. If she gets it, I highly doubt she will survive. If her doctors told her this I'd just take it as them warning her, and us, to be extremely careful.

Well that’s good to hear.
At least people are being sensible even if the government are idiots

I was thinking of going to Ikea this evening but not sure. I’m fine and have no symptoms but it seems irresponsible iyswim.

Anyone been to Ikea today in the UK?

Meanwhile four coaches of idiots have turned up at my village. Because we don't have any cases so they'll be safe.

You'll have to read up on what happened in the derbyshire village of Eyam in the black death plague times;!

Shutting down the schools saw a lot ofd Spanairds head to the coast and have a virus swap there;!

Perhaps BoJo was right?..

Heaving in my bit of N London. No Londoner over the age of 14 goes to oxford street so I expect it was missing the tourists

I'm in Glasgow. This morning I walked to the local supermarket to buy flowers. It was mobbed, queued up at every checkout with overflowing trolleys. Most of the shelves were empty.

Covent garden is empty too.

Well everyone must be in my town on the south coast, it’s Absolutely heaving, more people than an August bank holiday

Just chatted to my neighbour ( we are SW London) who was off for a weekend break on the south coast ‘to get away from it all’ - interesting to hear they aren’t the only ones who came up with this idea :/

I live in a large rural county where people think we are safe because there are only 4 recorded cases.

The real number is much, much higher - because most people who have got it are mild and aren't being tested for it.

I suspect that by now it is probably in all but the most remote communities.

DH is in London and the photo he sent to me showed it looking empty.

I on the other hand went to Sainsbury's and it was absolutely heaving.

Sat alone in an Italian in Notting Hill and its dead. I zipped though C London in my car in record time today.

I live in a very popular seaside town in South Devon. Sunny day, town heaving, coffee shops and cafes all busy. Next couple of weeks promise good weather, I cant see people taking self isolation seriously, and i can definitely see people seeking out a seaside break over Easter.

Park on the edge of North London was busy with walkers and dogs and kids.

Seems ok in Ipswich. Same as usual.

Saw a play in London and it was busy, west end was busy. My town was busy today. I haven't noticed much difference tbh. I suppose commuter trains will be quieter with lots of people working from home.

People are drawn to nature in times of crisis - seaside, country villages etc. It’s a way to centre yourself I think
