Well, it appears we have our first case imported through Iran.
Cheap airline tickets though, every cloud and such...positive thoughts.

Re: Coronavirus
Well that escalated pretty quickly; my local Pak n Sneeze was chocka-block full of people wearing masks piling up trolley loads with sacks of rice, Dettol, bottled water, coca cola, tissues, toilet paper and tinned food.
FFS it was to totally mental and pretty damned scary!! God help anyone who is really is in need of some toilet paper tomorrow; i expect the shelves will be bare. It's like the apocalypse has arrived, so best y'all grab some weapons, batten down the hatches and protect your resources at all cost for I fear we are just days away from seeing some marauding looters.

Re: Coronavirus
I have a holiday to Italy booked for May and it looks like I'm going to have to self isolate on my return
I'm just seeing it as an extra two weeks paid leave

If that was for MrBEVS it would have to be unpaid or taken from the 4 week annual allocation.

Re: Coronavirus
The new case is related to a family with kids at Westlake Boys and Girls which is our zone. Lucky I stocked up on loo rolls.
Maybe I'll die of coronavirus and be put out of my homesick misery!
