[Helenj1977]

Which London Underground stations are set to close due to coronavirus travel restrictions?

I’ve woke up in a bit of a daze. Looking out the window everything still looks normal. Getting dd2s school stuff sorted and realising, after tomorrow, no one knows if and when she will return there.
I am off to work today to try and carry on as normally as I can.
Wondering what the weekend will bring and just praying everyone manages to stay as safe as possible.

China's Hubei province, where the coronavirus pandemic began, reported no new cases on Wednesday t.co/eUoE2b20hL

[Lynamic]

Sorry eeyore that we don't want to die. The people leaving are the scaredest though, less likely to have the virus

[Helenj1977]

@ofwarren That's brilliant isn't. I hope we can all stop this.

The last of countries on Worldometer keeps growing

Well I think we can safely conclude that the OP of the first thread was not being unreasonable.

I couldn’t sleep last night

I managed to get a few hours when I first went to bed but then I woke up at 1am and was tossing and turning until almost 5am with worrying thoughts going around and around in my head.

I’m a nurse and due to being on A/L, yesterday was my first shift since it has all blown up in England and the anxiety, stress, and worry that is the constant undercurrent of the ward has really got me twitched.

I also for two of the criteria for needing to socially distance myself for 12 weeks but I’m 95% sure my Managers aren’t going to let me have the time off - should find out their decision today.

I’m so stressed by it all.

The Austrian ski town that spread coronavirus across the Continent
By the time local officials realized the extent of the outbreak, the damage was done.

Health authorities across Scandinavia have traced several hundred cases to Ischgl. On Tuesday, Norway said nearly 40 percent of the more than 1,400 infections in the country originated in Austria. National authorities believe hundreds of additional cases in both Austria and Germany are connected directly to Ischgl.

And

The first sign of serious trouble emerged on March 1, when officials in Iceland discovered that 15 passengers on an Icelandair flight arriving the day before from Munich had tested positive for coronavirus. Fourteen of the infected had been in Ischgl.

Iceland warned officials in Austria, but health authorities there dismissed the concerns out of Reykjavik.

And

The Tyroleans suggested it was more likely that a passenger on the plane who had been to Italy, and who also tested positive, infected the group from Ischgl.

Vienna ignored Iceland’s decision to issue a travel advisory for Tyrol.

In the days that followed, however, similar reports of infections among Ischgl tourists arrived from Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Germany.

On March 7, a barkeeper in a popular Ischgl après-ski spot tested positive.

Austrian authorities didn’t act until they discovered an additional 15 people he had been in close contact with at work also had the virus. On March 10, authorities ordered all bars in Ischgl to close, but left both the ski lifts and the hotels open.

The virus continued to spread, forcing the government on March 13 to take the unprecedented step of placing the entire valley surrounding Ischgl, known as Paznauntal, under quarantine along with St. Anton, another popular ski area nearby.

If china are coming to the end of their bad phase maybe we can use their ventilators?

[Eeyoresstickhouse]

lynamic you are more likely to die going to a second holiday home with areas that have poorer healthcare provisions. When truro hospital that has to service the whole county is full (which it probably already is, as it is always full!) Where do these people think they will get help?

Education Secretary Gavin Williamson tells Sky News it is best to assume that children will be "out of school for quite a considerable time" and there are not going to be exams this academic year

@avocadooil
😂 Who was the OP?

[Elephantgrey]

It’s all starting to get real. At the start of the week I was a paranoid nutter (to my family). No I didn’t have Coronavirus, the pains in my chest were just anxiety. No they won’t shut the schools, I’m sure it will be fine to go on holiday. My auntie who could play bloody bingo with the list of conditions that require you to self isolate is on a U.K. holiday.

Now it’s all coming true. I was in a video call with my work and a colleague with cancer was still at work (when we have been given permission to work from home) and people were coughing on him. The wife of someone in our

I feel like Molly Weasley in Harry Pottet where all the hands of the clock that tells her where her family are point to mortal peril.

On a more positive note I am pleased that Murray the Monk has got her masks and that the people she cares for have someone as brilliant as she is to advocate for them.

Coronavirus: Italian army called in to carry away corpses as city's crematorium is overwhelmed
At least 93 people have died after testing positive for coronavirus in the north Italian city.

The mayor of Bergamo, Giorgio Gori, said the true number of related deaths could be higher as many people with COVID-19 symptoms had died before being tested.

"The crematorium of Bergamo, working at full capacity, 24 hours a day, can cremate 25 dead", said a spokesperson for the local authority.

Let's say that nobody catches the virus as we are all in lockdown, NHS has the equipment they need. Then what? How is herd immunity achieved if nobody is going out? Is there a link that explains how this plan works?

[Mrsappleby]

Morning everyone,
I hope you all managed some sleep. I lost count of the amount of times I woke up.

[sadatchristmas1]

I am shattered hardly any sleep last night worrying about my kids and family and the effect this is all going to have in my loved ones and everyone else. My 16 year old son broke down crying at the gcse announcement as he has been working so hard to improve his predicted grades. I work in retail I usually work 7.5 hours a day this week I've been doing 10 hours a day and with staff ringing in sick and now the school closures things are going to harder and harder. I have type 2 diabetes (diet controlled) and rheumatoid arthritis but as a single parent I can't stay at home or I will be unable to pay for us to survive. I need to keep working for as long as I can but I am so scared right now. I'm on the bus going to work and have realised soon I'm going to have to walk to work. Over an hour each way from my house on top of crazy hours and hard days. Life is changing 😭

[MollyButton]

@Wynona the aim is to keep the rate of new infections as low as possible so as to not overwhelm the hospitals (or minimise the problem as much as possible).
Also the longer you can avoid getting infected, the more chance their will be a vaccine and treatment before you do get it. It should also slow the rate of mutation of the virus.

[ScatteredMama82]

Ugh, just woke up and remembered. 😟

[Lynamic]

Eyore if I get out of here I will not be making the effort just to catch it off someone in the country

[AvocadoOwl]

Let's say that nobody catches the virus as we are all in lockdown, NHS has the equipment they need. Then what?

China appear to be in this position and are slowly relaxing restrictions so I assume we'll be watching them closely and letting their experience guide our plans. I expect that if cases suddenly spike again restrictions will simply be reintroduced.
