The only good thing during this is crisis is when you go out (and be careful to not get close to people, and ignorant or stupid, dirty b******s a lot of people are) is that everywhere is pretty quiet (apart from large supermarkets in the mornings) and free from the similar irritating people around today. Well they were around a week ago. Less traffic too. Shame the economy is going down the pan and the consequences for individuals.

There are lots of conflicting opinions over the virus. You have , essentially, 3 sources of data. The newspapers, the politicians and the scientists. And they manipulate the data to produce opinions which suit their own ends Edited by Forest Hillbilly (18 Mar 2020 5.02pm)

Not going to have a go about BJ's handling of the situation. It would be hard for anyone as Prime Minister. I can't get my head around why the schools are still open though. If you close the schools then many parents will need to pack up work in order to stay at home and look after them and those parents will include half of the nursing force as well as all of the other essential services. The alternative is to let the grandparents look after the kids and we know where that will lead

It is closed. Not sure what it will help when there is no full shut-down.
