@Angryrant55 I think it has to been done. Your average person on the street does not understand the situation at all.

100+ people queueing for a cake shop a few towns over.

How stupid can you get

That must be really good cake??!

whataballbag · 21/03/2020 15:41

@justchecking1 it's not even that good!

Thanks @mrshoho - flying into Gatwick sadly. Just hoping its all relatively empty! Too much to hope for probably!

Greenwich park packed this afternoon...

Angryrant55 · 21/03/2020 15:54

Goverment must be fuming it's sunny and warm today- suspect parks will be shut pretty soon along with non essental shops.

AvocadoOwl · 21/03/2020 15:57

Sensible decision by John Lewis.

Noticed a few other shops announcing closure too (Joules being one other).

Who is doing the Italy Vs UK death chart

The Telegraph should make that visual accessible for free.

We're going to start taking the dog out first thing in the morning but deliberately away from the main parks and to the rec ground round here where you usually only see one or two people at the best of times. Kids can stick their wellies on and rampage through the woods a bit and we might stay a bit saner.

4094 +111 on worldometer but no 2pm on twitter from DOH?

Youngatheart00 · 21/03/2020 16:08

I’ve had emails from pretty much every store I’ve ever shopped with. Seems like the vast majority of clothing stores are closing their doors this weekend if not already done so, and going online only. Sadly I think some will remain that way as rents default. There will be a huge lasting impact here.

When the non online using part of over 70's emerge from isolation they might still struggle if so many items are effectively online only forevermore.

SunshineCake · 21/03/2020 16:11

I've not left the bedroom except once, dog has slept on the bed with me all day. I'm on week five of not sleeping through the night. Have all the symptoms except the fever, really want a glass of wine tonight to enable me to sleep though. Ok or stupid idea?

Angryrant55 · 21/03/2020 16:12

the +111 are the new nothern irish and welsh cases i think

Number12 · 21/03/2020 16:17

Thanks angryrant. I have a bad feeling about today's numbers....

Sorry your so unwell sunshine, sounds totally shitty! Unsure on the booze though....

Yep like Bondi Beach

545 dead in Lombardy alone according to my twitter source.
It's 45 minutes till the full total though.
It's going to be horrendous by the sounds of it.
