Worried about Cornovirus 30

[Angryrant55]

New thread.

I don’t want to engage on the thread where people are claiming to have insider information about a potential London lockdown, but I do want to talk about it here.

Does anyone know (or best guess) in practical terms what that will actually mean? Closure of what exactly? Curfews? What rules are we expecting?

Dp is due back in the office on Monday after a week wfh.

Aibu to insist he wfh now?

I can’t seem to find online whether this applies to Private Nurseries?
Although most of the staff at mine have school aged children...

It says no one should travel out the country unless needed, my husband works at sea and cant get to work atm, hopefully he will be able to get there soon as we rely on his wage !

I want to know. If it's complete shutdown, I shall want DD to come home - she can work from here just as well as at her flat.
If movement to a shop/office is allowed, she may prefer to stay in London.
So hard....at the end of the day it's her decision, but she's still my baby. And then there's DS stuck in Sydney (by choice!)

Italy's figures aren't falling yet for several reasons
Not yet reached peak contagion because total lockdown only began 9 days ago is the main one.

My sister has just told me she thinks Boris is doing well and has it all planned out.
I think she might be watching different news to me

Can anyone tell me about airports. Do airports stay open during a lockdown? I think if there are people on holiday we would have to let them back??

Airports are going to close if there are no flights.

There are rescue flights but not a lot else. So no the airports will be barely functioning. Especially regional airports.

I think Edinburgh is closed or closing completely.

BREAKING - Britain faces a "massive" shortfall of ventilators as #COVID19 advances and failed to adequately invest in intensive care infrastructure, says the CEO of the Swiss ventilator maker Hamilton Medical.

Italy has only been on lockdown a week and a half - once we get to next monday lombardy cases should drop.

My FIL works at Newcastle airport. Been asked to take unpaid leave, no specific time frame.

I wish they'd lockdown now. How else will we stop this.

Dp is very worried about his job. A very very big company is on the brink of collapse. Wtf happens then?

London Lockdown will more than likely include a curfew.

Those of us who can lock ourselves down should do so. That will help until it's enforced to stop the muppets from carrying on regardless. And now I've given myself an ear worm of the muppets doing the beautiful south 🤦‍♀️

Tell us something we hadn't worked out already.

That's helpful of the Swiss chap if he is offering to supply some. Or is he having a dig because the NHS didn't buy products from him?

Reposting this as lost at end of last thread.

I think to cover people in crisis with no money going forward they should give money to all those who pay no tax,

Easily identifiable and quick.

Anyone who doesn't need it could opt to give the money to their local foodbank.

Otherwise desperate people will have to get food any way possible, including looting. Or starving.

What does anyone think?

Chris Choi (ITV News) - 'I’m expecting announcement tomorrow on help for people who hit trouble with energy bills due to coronavirus - longer at home means higher bills than expected.'

Just checking in. Thanks

Who's going out to brave the supermarkets tomorrow for essentials they haven't been able to get?

I think cases in Italy aren't decreasing yet partly because from incubation to death it's about 17 days?

It took 12 days for the chinese lockdown to begin to show a reduction in new cases (and rather longer to show a drop in fatalities.

Start looking closely at Italian case numbers early next week.

I think everyone will have their eyes on Italy's numbers from next week.

London lockdown bill to be pushed through tomorrow.

Friend is a police officer, they've just been told. Going to happen with days.

Found you all, there have been tears tonight it all feels very bleak here I'm not feeling at all well and much as I hate going into hospital for once I wish I was there receiving IV antibiotics.

I can't see my grandchildren or help their parents out with childcare this nightmare is only just beginning and it feels unbearable.
