Also its now in Wales... wonder where it was... Had some rumors that there are a few folks who have been safe isolated in Shrewsbury after returning from Italy skiing over half term... chap who I go to the match with is off to Tenerife in just over a week, the hotel he is staying at is in lockdown at the mo and hes not heard anything about not travelling There must be plenty of hotels available this time of years, he will get moved, hopefully an upgrade, well away from the virus.

Steve Bruce has now banned shaking hands at the Newcastle training ground due to concerns over coronavirus. Whatever next? Coronavirus cases in Bolton and Southend so that the rest of their games are cancelled and they don't get relegated? Mind you, if push comes to shove, the EFL could still allow the games to take place behind closed doors. Tranmere already have that quarantine centre on the Wirral not too far away from them.

Well, allowing Thunberg to hold a mass rally in Bristol involving thousands of schoolkids doesn't seem the best of ideas. You only need one of them to have just returned from a holiday in Italy. Well it’s one way to save the planet I guess. Do something that could lead to a reduction in the human population.

Steve Bruce has now banned shaking hands at the Newcastle training ground due to concerns over coronavirus. The Sky/Ineos cycling team banned handshakes a few years ago to prevent the spread of infections. The riders and staff use fist bumps instead.

Just perhaps we are expecting to much of the chap who Pilch goes to the game with to make his own mind up, and do his own risk assessment.... I would not be waiting to be told, proactive in finding out for himself would be a good start.

www.france24.com/en/20200227-uae-tour-abandoned-after-two-italian-riders-test-for-coronavirus-1"The UAE Tour was abandoned Thursday after two Italian cyclists tested positive for the coronavirus, officials said, with teams and riders reported to be under lockdown in their hotels."It's a shame that the #UAETour has been cancelled but public health must come first," tweeted British star Chris Froome, a four-time winner of the Tour de France. "We are all awaiting testing and will remain at the hotel until further notice. I hope those affected make a speedy recovery and there aren't any further cases #coronavirus." the inconsistency of aproaches from different sports to different countrys cant be helpfull. the six nations have cancelled games. were in contrast the Australian grand prix is going ahead despit the Ferrari team been based in maranello this is just south of the Lombardy region where a bulk of the more than 220 cases in the country are concentrated. if in two to three weeks you suddenly get a spike in cornoavirus in melbourne you will know why. www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/italy/healthThe FCO advise against all but essential travel to 10 small towns in Lombardy (Codogno, Castiglione d’Adda, Casalpusterlengo, Fombio, Maleo, Somaglia, Bertonico, Terranova dei Passerini, Castelgerundo and San Fiorano) and one in Veneto (Vo’ Euganeo), which have been isolated by the Italian authorities due to an ongoing outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19).

Why single that out? Why not any football match taking place this weekend? There are bound to be people at those who've just returned from Italy.

Steve Bruce has now banned shaking hands at the Newcastle training ground due to concerns over coronavirus. Sensible precaution. Don't mind admitting that, for some years now, I've washed my hands as soon as possible after shaking hands with someone.

You would think that a 17 year old environmentalist would have new ideas about a mass social media protest that would not involve mass travel to Bristol too. Not the old "environmentalists should live in caves and not be hypocrites" trope …...

No, not at all, but in this day and age an innovative social media campaign/protest ought to beat a bunch of wet and cold schoolkids parading through the streets of Bristol. The sort of thing that change.org uses, online petitions, a huge show of support.
Also goes the other way, environmentalists cannot expect people to live in unheated caves, life has to go on, but in a more sensitive to the environment way.

“the Daily Mail exists to frighten middle England”. That’s a quote remembered from years ago but I can’t find the source of it.

Over a billion people get influenza every year and up to 600000 die from it. Are we not overreacting here and letting the media be economical with the facts. How people want to turn this into a political debate is beyond me, it's a virus not a manifesto, and try researching facts rather than what you want to believe.

Thick as Pig s**t. These people are a national disgrace. In saying that their behaviour is no worse than these disgusting supermarket's who could have chained up ALL there large trolleys for the forseeable future and would have tempered this ridiculous behaviour.

Shocking. It annoys the hell out of me that supermarkets are still profiting from this situation after they allowed people to strip the shelves weeks ago.

I went through with an armful a couple of weeks ago, the person in front says "Is that all you have, come on through before me" I just couldn't see the point of hoarding, personally I would have locked up all the trolleys.

I'm probably having the worst attempt at safe distancing with an elderly neighbour. I did some shopping for her on Friday. When I it round to her house, I asked her to stand at the far end of the hall so I could unload the shopping in her kitchen which is immediately on the right as you go in. Sure enough, she was standing in right place, so I went in and then she came into the kitchen to pay me! I cooked her Sunday lunch today, and got the dragon to ring her and ask her to lay the table in the living room, then retire to the kitchen so I could bring it round. I opened her front door, and she was standing right in front of it, and said, "I forgot where I'm supposed to be standing!".

If we had done some of the things mentioned in the first few posts on this thread, dated 27th February, we would probably have been easing out of lockdown now, with a lot less deaths.
I doubt the cruise advertised for £5000 in the papers that day went ahead, but it's an example of how this threat was not dealt with quickly enough. I wrote that it could rip through refugee camps - I should have realised that we had a similar situation, with even more vulnerable residents, in Care Homes.
