Just saw Homestore and More have banned anyone under the age of 16 from their shops.

This is a rule I can live with in more stores, and permanently :P

Exactly I've been thinking about this and in other crisis, terrorist attacks for example, in France, London, Berlin, Nice etc the defiant response of showing no fear and continuing to live our lives as we choose has stopped the terrorists from winning.

This freedom compared to a state like China is likely why europe is being affected so badly.

Having said that I think this freedom, even if curtailed at present, must never be taken away as the freedom to live is our greatest asset.

I don’t think this crisis has eroded democracy and freedom in Taiwan, Japan and South Korea in any way. In fact it may enhancing accountability of their givernments

OK thats paranoia, go to the beach, keep yer distance including in the shop, wipe yer hands after using the pump. Pay by card.

Definitely can come across as paranoia. I did say that the person was in best position to decide. But should be done after thinking about different scenarios. But is a little paranoia better than flippant decisions?

It will. The consequences when the virus takes hold in poorer countries will be horrific.

The local supermarket is giving out disposable gloves, then once you're finished your shop, there's a sanitising dispenser at the exit - also have hand sanitizer in the car afterwards.

Still along way from Leo's predicted 15000, maybe his estimate is like a Ryanair flight time!

6 to 7000 is more likely if we mirror early Italian numbers.

Once this thing takes hold in Africa its going to be Carnage. Entire townships with not an ounce of medical backup will be decimated.

Keep up the finger wagging Biddy.

Are you for real???!!!! Technology will have to replace face to face meeting for the moment!!!! Small price to pay. Everyone is acutely aware of how this will affect everyone, not just teenagers, but there's no other choice - unless you're completely irresponsible and selfish.

5% of people who catch covid-19 will need critical care.

Evidence please. Bearing in mind, we want the low risk group to be infected.

Is there numbers for how many tests have been ordered and how many people are still waiting. What's the capacity for testing per day? I'd say the numbers that are being released are a fraction of the people that have it.
