In general proper hand washing is as good as using a hand sanitiser. However for people such as my mother who is in her eighties and suffering from cancer hand sanitisers can be vital. She needs to have one in her hall so that visitors make sure they don't carry in any infection.

We cannot get hold of any, but ut my local chemist told me that when they got a stock in recently people were grabbing handfuls and they were sold out in minutes.

Can I just appeal to people to be aware that if, as a healthy low risk family, they are depleting shops of hand sanitisers, many of which will remain in cupboards unused, they are depriving ill and vulnerable people and their families of a simple way of keeping a loved one safe.

Please, if stocks are replenished, don't hog them and stock pile.. Leave enough to keep ill and vulnerable n people safe.

You don't touch the machine.

Also, you will not get a Coronavirus from your phone.

It would need to be in contact with lots of people and objects for that too happen and then you'd have been in the same places and most likely have breathed it in.

How has the adjustment to living under a rock the last few months been for you?

Same here , I ring random numbers too and cough down the phone.
I've also stopped wearing clothes and just wrap myself in cling film.

Two of our department (maintenance) but lots of housekeeping , breakfast staff and porters have had their hours severely reduced too.

No idea how long for.

what type of work are they in?

Nothing at all really, started washing my hands a bit more. Thats it. I am young and healthy and so are my family and social circle and I dont come into contact with any elderly or people with underlying illnesses day to day so I am not really too worried about it.

Would think the demand for cruises will have dropped considerably

I’m just more conscious about what I’m touching when I’m out and about. I was always one to open doors with my sleeve, but now it’s knuckles at the atm and self service, and a dollop of hand sanitiser once I get to the car. I haven’t been panic buying because my apartment is tiny and I’ve no room for the things I need, never mind anything extra.
I’ve been social distancing since the day I was born so I’m grand on that front

Will not apply to UK flights though which makes no sense.

He's completely insane. I'd be terrified if I was living in the US. Imagine having him in charge of the response to this.

Rubberchikken

No. No change to habits.
I'm a clean person with a fair bit of cop on so I don't need some virus to change things.

Nothing bar using the hand santiser in work that has been put in the toilets and only because it's the good high alcohol stuff which I like the smell of

Some scrote stole the bloody thing (all 1 litre of it) and it's just been replaced so I'm waiting to see how long until someone steals this latest bottle....

Otherwise business as usual.

I don't understand why the UK are exempt but I think otherwise it's a good call.

MadYaker

They already have rampant community transmission happening there. They'll have over 10,000 confirmed cases by the end of next week, what difference will flights from europe make?

He's using the Corona virus as an excuse for an economic attack on the EU.
