    This is true, current orders in situ may be cancelled and money refunded. There's no stock for these guys to pick, the website doesn't reflect this.

    Why is there no stock to pick. Are the schools supplying it?

    Not sure if this was posted already but it looks like things might get real serious.

    This sh/t just got real...

    I am at home with my 80 year old mother. She is a spritely, active woman who has to be doing something or else she will crack up.
    We lost my Dad last summer and they were inseparable for 51 years. It has only been in the recent few months that she has started to get back to a semi normal status, well a 'new normal', as have I.
    Since January, she has been focusing on the 1 year anniversary, booking the mass, food for after, ensuring the headstone would be up etc.
    Encouraging my siblings (who all live abroad) to book their flights to be home for it.
    Now, I am absolutely terrified of her picking virus up, I am on my own, I cannot bear the possibility of something happening to her.
    She is terrified that the virus will stop them from travelling home and it'll just be us.

    She is a great one to go to the gym at her age but getting her to stop is like taking sweets off a child and I get it, she'll crack up but even saying just for a few weeks, she still gets into a strop, she knows best.
    Ugh, I don't know what to do. I am getting texts from my siblings to make sure she is being careful when out and washing her hands frequently.

    I don't mean to come across as poor me but I hope some people out there acknowledge that this has the potential to be extremely devastating.
    Everyone's lives are different and have varying degree of risks but for the love of God, please have some sense.

    Still genuinely amazed how many people are living in blissful ignorance thinking it's 'just the flu'.

    They really need to read the reports coming from Italy and imagine that it's likely to be them and their families impacted unless we take critical action now.

    FOOD SUPPLIES ARE NOT AN ISSUE, NEITHER IS THERE A TOILET ROLL SHORTAGE . . .

    Fake News is bad news.
    As Donald would say :)

    Real news may be behind a paywall.

    Fake news is free.

    Might be an idea to get rid of the paywalls for articles about the coronavirus.

    Any way people coming home from Cheltenham could be branded or tattooed on their forehead so people know to avoid them and so that when crisis is over they can be ostracised?
    Something like ****wit would suffice

    I was in Argentina myself last weekend and there is no restrictions or anything here in Brazil, hand sanitizer is common but face-masks I only seen in Sao Paulo airport. Life continues as normal without concern, I'm afraid it could be another Italy in the making. News coming out of the Philippines an equally hot country suggests the heat is not going to stop this virus.

    5

    How long is your trip to Argentina for? I am here 10 days with another 21 days left to run and I am in a dilemma whether to evacuate home or tough it out. The paranoia and worrying about the situation at home is really ruining my enjoyment of the trip however.

    5 weeks. Sound anonymous

    I was just in my village shop, they have towers of Bog roll and all sorts of food, like nothing ever happened. If you need anything, look very local, chances are they have everything.

    This is my plan. Most of the cheaper stuff was gone yesterday but the more expensive brands still on the shelves. One lady I've ran into before shopping had gone totally bonkers with an empty stare in her eyes. Her cart was filled to the brim with nothing but household cleaners, sanitising wipes, all kinds of cleaning stuff and no food at all.
