@selfisolatingsince2007. What a nightmare for you.

DH works for the airlines and I told him your predicament, he said I would think very carefully about getting home now, even if it costs extra, most flights are shutting down - he doesn’t t do work for BA, so can’t comment on them, but every day there are less and less movements. He says you need to have a very frank talk with BA as to if they think the flight will go.

Are there any cases there and are they on top of it?

Or there are a lot more out there who have the virus which simply arent included.

When you think about the temperature taking the chinese did and cutting off anyone with symptoms

Until thursday the law used in the isle of man is not in force in the uk. Goverment might well be waiting till thursday to lockdown under the act.

Because the government initially had a plan to just let the virus run - what was Boris Johnson's quip " We could just take it on the chin", we missed the opportunity to get ahead of it. It was only in the last week (seems like a lifetime ago) that any distancing began. Last weekend London and other cities were in full swing.

James Mates - 'Devastating figures from Italy today. 793 dead in just the last 24 hours. Sobering thought: UK today saw total deaths reach 233. Italy was at exactly that figure on March 7th. 2 weeks behind.'

Antonello Guerrera - 'It looks #Coronavirus carnage in #Italy is never devastating enough
Today 793 DEAD IN ONE DAY
Worst #COVID19 toll ever
• 42,681 now infected (6,557 more than yesterday, when it was +4,670)
• 4,825 dead (+793. Yesterday +627)
• 6,072 recovered (+943. Yesterday +689)'

Oh my god, Italy :( I keep telling my teenager not worry, it’s not set in stone the UK will get it as bad, just wish I could believe it

The UK and Italy daily numbers are very similar, just 2 weeks apart

The next few days will be very telling

I think the evidence points to Italy having enormous underlying infection rates at each stage and that there isn’t the same levels here

Which would mean our numbers won’t taken the steep incline theirs did from this point

Fingers crossed I’m right

Patrick vallence is an close all of dominic cummings.

Is there a press conference today?

Comparison with Italy, log scale

It was at 2pm - just a bit around food supllies.

Went to a open space today and it was absolutely packed. I let my kids out on their bikes but we left sooner than we’d hoped. Now I’m feeling so much fear about what if we’ve caught it.

I cancelled my hairdresser coming tomorrow, she’s mobile and lovely and I feel awful as I know she’s obviously self employed but I just can’t risk her coming.

Feeling more & more depressed as the days go on.

I’m ok during the week as I’m busy trying to entertain the kids and OH is working from home so we have a sense of normality. At the weekend we’re just a bit lost.

OH is talking about taking a pay cut at work to avoid job losses. I’m a SAHM so feeling stressed. We were due to marry in 6 weeks so also had to cancel that and possibly postpone but when to? No time feels safe enough to feel confident it’ll go ahead currently and wedding insurance are using every loophole to avoid paying us.

@Bearbehind I would love nothing more for you to be right. But our hospital doctors are already seeing the devastation. The government are well aware of what is coming. All we can do now is try to stay healthy and avoid contact with people.

David Collins -'Break: Police in Cumbria are warning the public to stay away from the Lake Districts as the coronavirus lockdown is forcing families to spend more time outdoors - leading to an influx of visitors, according to senior officers.'

@Angryrant55

I just don't get people at all.

I took my ds on a long drive around today (trying to entertain an autistic child in the house for the 16/17 hours a day he's awake when he needs constant 1-1 supervision is so difficult) so I've harnessed him in his car seat and drove the streets to pass some time, it's going to be a looong time off school 🙈

Everywhere is business as usual so it seems. Probably close to a hundred Kids in the play area on the woods when we drove past then drove down the beach (we live in a seaside resort) and it was rammed!

Never mind Rishi giving workers the additional funds, i need a daily petrol allowance funded if this is going to work with ds

Paul Waugh -'This Trump press conference is so excruciating.
He is again pushing his personal preference for anti-malarial drugs as a treatment for #coronavirus. His chief epidemiology adviser Tony Fauci looks so deeply uncomfortable. Trump admits Fauci wants testing (ie he's the expert). Trump now says 'I don't know' when asked his family businesses will apply for govt assistance for US firms hit by coronavirus.'

@Dramalamaindeed I've been crying again today. It's a horrible time isn't. Put your wedding plans on hold, you have something nice to look forward to then and a great way to see everyone again

Dp is due in the office on Monday, it's ridiculous.

My cough is bad now. Defo continuas. I'm convinced it's a cold. We've been in all week bar dog walks.

@mrshoho Yes, it's so hard to get one's head around, isn't it. A few months ago we were all arguing about Brexit and preparing for Christmas. This seems...unreal.

Dailymail advertising cheaper hotel prices in the UK due to coronavirus, not sure they understand how social distancing works

Lookin at Italy's figures is just so shocking. My anxiety is doing well with this.. went to buy two laptops today for the boys to start their HE from Monday, seems there a shortage of those to!!

VERY RECKLESS.

Worldometer says +162 for UK...

Maybe the forests are safer from crowds

@Bearbehind I really hope you are right!

I think the next two weeks in the UK will be really telling for lots of reasons.
