The hysteria is about ride another big wave again. Just after everyone got their bog roll in for no reason they’ll have a reason to use it with government instructions to stay at home for two weeks with a cough or a temperature. I thought the madness was going to stay at the current levels but apparently not. It’s going to ramp up again very soon, sickies going on everywhere, more panicking and selfish behaviour to make me realise even more how much I don’t like some modern people.

Stay safe. Some of my bowling colleagues are being pretty unrealistic about this and are thinking it will just pass them by. I don't. It seems that the experts are expecting a difficult few months.

I am actually impressed by the way the government is handling this, taking the scientific advice seriously, keeping us informed and not treating people as idiots. Shows us at our best. Pulling together in a crisis, apart from those panic buying!

So take care. Caution hurts no-one and you cannot be infected online!

We might have had our differences but I wish you, and everybody here, continuing good health.

Nadine Dorries has Coronavirus and is in self isolation. I’d prefer to see Anna Soubhry locked away for a good while.

Ends a few myths if it is true that the government are looking after everyone equally!

It is noticeable by reading the threads how old a large number of HOL regular members are with many of us in their sixties and seventies. If I remember correctly there are also quite a few of us who have medical issues so the likelihood of several of us contracting this virus is quite high.

Let's hope that we all manage to get through it unscathed

I was watching Sky news preview at 10.30pm Monday night I think and Stig Abel, a Times editor, reckons everyone will know someone who dies from this. I hope not and he’s usually quite level headed.
