Going to the shop next week with thousands of cases would probably be safer than today's mess as at least people would be on high hygiene alert.

The UK moved from the "contain" to the "delay" phase in its fight against the spread of the coronavirus outbreak on 12 March i.e. yesterday. I gamble. I am not an addict. You are assuming people who go horse racing are gambling addicts. Based on what evidence? Gambling can be useful in teaching risk assessment, a quality absent from much of the population as shown in the last financial crisis. Nothing was learned, and since then the US stock market increased in value in the last ten years to 4.5 times its 2009 value, and 50% above the value of their economy.

My husband and I have both cancelled holidays and we don’t care about the money. The people who travelled deserve all the ire they are receiving. No sympathy for them.

In spite of popular opinion, I don't think our health service are that incompetent that they would fail to miss an entirely new virus that represented 25% of cases.
