New thread

the stupidity and not understanding of folk today astounds me!
MIL came round earlier......to get a paintbrush ash didn`t have one!

People still don`t get it.

I'm self isolating. Today everyone of my neighbours has been out, one house has had three members go out in cars at different times coming back with shopping. Just to top it off the ice cream van is doing the rounds cue a load of kids queuing up.

It's pathetic, we are not even one day in yet! FFS, this is going last a lot longer then three weeks.

Ice cream van?! 😱

The ice cream van man up our road too.
Can't think of anything more germ laden...

not just our area then!

we`ll end up with the army brought in to patrol at this rate......

@Horehound my exH is stuck in Thailand at the moment.
He wasn't planning on returning until April but he can't get flights at all. Everything is cancelled, globally it would seem at the moment.
He been trying for weeks to get home.

What can i do to help him?

@Notonthestairs yes guilty of the sideswipe at a pp I'm just sick of seeing people making light of coronavirus so including it in a username seems in bad taste.

I apologise, feeling fragile today

@planningaheadtoday there will be so many people in Thailand in the same boat.
Tell him to register with the embassy for starters.
Follow @fcotravel on twitter. And also follow Dominic raab. Make sure he is up to date with the government travel.
Write to your mp and also to Dominic raab

David Carretta - 'Coronavirus: the Italian government foresees restrictions until the 31st of July, according to a draft of a new Decree.' Plus fines are going up to €4000 for breaking restrictions. Maybe that would make people stop and think. Ice cream vans?!

@Horehound thank you, I'll pass that on now.

Ice cream vans definitely shouldn't be out. If you see one, I'd actually report via 101 or something like that.

Some people need to be told!

I'm expected to be at work at the moment. I'm currently an apprentice with the NHS and my colleagues are at work sitting in a room studying!
If a hospital can't listen to the government then we've got no hope

Steven Swinford - 'Boris Johnson in turn has told the Mayor of London to put on more trains at peak times to ensure we don't get a repeat of packed tubes we saw this morning

Sadiq Khan says 20% of TfL staff are sick or self-isolating so he can't increase capacity.'

Steven Swinford - 'Here's the Sadiq Khan quote:

'Members of the government want us to do is carry on ‘busy as usual’ as much as we can in relation to the economy

'What I think has not landed is fact we face not just a social and economic crisis, but a public health crisis' '

Mass panic buying in India as all food shops shut for 21 days in two hours time.

Steven Swinford -'So there's an emerging debate about the extent of lockdown and the interplay between public health and the need to keep the economy going

Government says there is an economic interest in construction/ manufacturing workers going to work as long as they observe social distancing.'

Ryan Sabey - 'BREAKING: A further 83 people, who tested positive for the Coronavirus have died, bringing the total number of deaths in England to 386.

How does that compare to Italy?

Late check in!

Quartz. I think 200 fewer than Italy at comparable date

Lewis Goodall - 'NEW: UK death toll from #COVID19 increases by 87 to 422.'

First death in Liverpool as well.

Omg food shops shutting for 3 weeks in India?
There must be a way of shutting shops but having food delivered by the army or drivers just dumping outside each house? No one has to go out then

Oh gosh poor India
