Classic case of cross infection, there are two threads on the main forum now.
When will all nurseries and schools be shut? Purely from a public health perspective and nothing to do with me wanting a fortnight off.
Ryanair and BA have started to cancel flight. Maybe should have done it in the first place.
it sounds like it’s more to do with low loads on the flights rather than anything else.Quote:

This is quite a good site for seeing what is going on with regards to infections, deaths and recoveries. It's hard data rather than headlines.
Up 5% last I saw.Quote:

Sounds like a bad case of Moking the afflicted! 😯Quote:

Racist idiot thugs don't need to feel empowered, and I doubt they ever think of the consequences.Quote:

I don't agree Easty.Quote:

They've basically given the thugs more justification and emboldened them.
Press conference from BoJo and the CMO pretty much confirms there will be a huge peak at some point, with up to 20% of the working population projected to be off at the worst point.
They’re trying to do what they can to push the peak into the summer when the NHS will be better placed to cope, but there’s some tough months ahead and it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
I haven't seen anything from Boris or Gove or Farage about keeping Chinese folk away to protect us from Coronavirus. Have I just missed it? Or, can we just blame all crime and attacks and hate, regardless of the context, on those 3 and thier ilk.Quote:

You're right. This incident may not have been a result, direct or indirect, of what the right wing have been saying, but there can be no doubt that they've created a situation in this country where intolerance of foreigners is acceptable, if not actively encouraged.Quote:

Definitely, we've returned to 1970's open racism. It's now socially acceptable to make openly racist remarks in some areas of society.Quote:

Majority of them they seem to have been able to trace back to holidays in Italy but there's 3 where they've no idea how they got it or who from.
