    This is super serious and well done to everyone who are staying at home and following the rules...

    A slight wrinkle though, in previous posts I've referred to my recently widowed 79 year old mother who is very active. I chose to work from home to keep her company as my siblings are away.
    Now I worry about her health and am spraying disinfectant on her and I every chance I can get but tonight I found out she was a lighting c*nt to my deceased father's sister when she visited recently which was completely uncalled for.

    Normally I would get stuck into her about having double standards etc and storm out to my own place but ...

    I got stuck into her but had to storm into the kitchen. The tension is cruel. First world problems I know....ugh

    Is it fair to say that while we are all watching official testing figures going up and using that to judge Italy, that it will actually be the hospitals that will know first?

    I know deaths are still going up but I thought that was expected at the peak when a health services is stretched. You will keep getting more deaths until it levels off to a make manageable figure.

    As other posters have mentioned before, it's the serious case figures, rather than the daily updates, that will be the real worry.

    Our stats seem pretty good. Did we get a less severe strain of the virus or what?

    That's probably jinxed it.

    I think the logic was that they were useless unless you were actually sick. I think the reality is that there are thousands of sick people walking around unaware of their condition.

    Are NCT operating as normal?

    What are the chances they need to close, and how would it impact cars on the roads?

    Could you imagine what this would be like before the internet?


    On the upside less anxiety from bombarding ourselves with scary statistics in real time. But "isolation" would really mean isolation with the old telephone as the only real means of communication.
