Criticism today from China towards Italy: "they don't stay indoors, they live their ordinary lives it seems, with dinners, gatherings, parties, hugs and kisses. It is like the Corona virus didn't exist." To me a bit like Sweden. Unfortunately. We have a "new" epidemiologist on tv now though, more and more ... and he's scared Sweden will be the new Italy. Hopefully our Prime Minister will have something sensible to say to the nation this evening at 9 p.m. There’s someone on this page who’s seemingly immune to it as well. (Advice that is, not the virus) |

Yes, because she's a medical professional. The vast majority of medical professionals who've spoken either in news conferences or in social media videos have been outstanding. They are the ones who should be answering the critical questions about the virus. Let Boris read his pre-prepared statement and let the people who really know what they're taking about take the important questions. It would be better just making it medical/science questions no politicians there then we wont get the are you seeing your mother on mothers day, your dad is going to the pub trivial bollocks have a separate conference for the politics if they must. Even today a question about how hard it is to stop kids being within 2m of each other, it might be hard but granny or grandad dying is harder so follow the instructions. I haven’t seen today’s. Did the reporter for sky ask about the situation in London? |

Corona has stopped the crime rate enormously, the swedish police say.
No drugs, weapons, trafficing across our borders now, since they are closed more or less.
But if they decide to close the schools, it will increase, making the police busy again.

I’m sorry but you literally went to the pub about 30 mins after they said avoid pubs a few days ago and defended it despite the PM, the CMO and NHS staff pleading with people not to. It’s literally on this thread. It’s a bit rich now to be calling people idiots and say we must rule by consent. So do you think they should rule by force Yes I do. It is going to happen. |

I dont think so, he asked about kids being kept apart, rumour a hospital was at full capacity I was semi asleep though as dogs had me up at 3am and 5am as they had the trotts... |

I chose to go to the pub for several reasons There is belive it or not a big difference from advice to a instruction So do you think they should rule by force Should I be prevented from walking my dog If you don't do as you're told in these circumstances you need a kicking to be honest. Acting like that will kill people There is always "one" isn't there? |

To be fair walking your dog is not ruled out you just need to keep your distance I take mine early and late or at meal times when there is less people around. |

It sounds to me like he went to the pub to express his"right" to be able to do so. In this situation, I do not believe that he has a "right" to put other folks at risk. |

I chose to go to the pub for several reasons There is belive it or not a big difference from advice to a instruction So do you think they should rule by force Should I be prevented from walking my dog They had to end up ruling by force with pubs because people wouldn’t stay away. They instructed at risk people not to go and advised others to not. But either way, semantics are a weak argument when everyone who mattered was saying avoid them and then they closed them anyway because people ignored it. They’ve said again, be responsible, going to the pub was completely irresponsible. No getting around it. The Deputy CMO just said the same, be responsible, keep your distance outside and stay away from others and you can walk your dog as much as you like. If you have free space for that and won’t see anyone, fantastic. The problem is like with pubs certain people won’t do that or can’t do that and if you’ve seen any footage of parks and walking places today you’d see they aren’t already. As a direct consequence, people will die. I think in the next few days its going to be enforced. I said on here the other day, I’m still going to work, because we have not been told not to and my boss will not close the doors unless forced to do so. We all work close to each other as it is completely unavoidable and pass jobs around the building between each other, this is on the same risk level if not higher than going to the pub. There are old gents still there, and anyone of us could pick it up, yet we all still continue to go because of the money. I’m sure there are a lot of other firms doing this also. Surely the only way now is to shut every none essential work place, else what would be the point? |

First confirmed case at my girlfriend's hospital in the US. Time to buckle in. My girlfriend's working in the ICU today & haven't heard from her yet. Was supposed to move to a different rotation next week but now probably won't. She also cancelled her holiday in May and all the residents on non-critical rotations were locked down last week so they can fill the holes in the ranks once the docs start dropping. EDIT: and these precautions are a minimum level of what's needed. The scientists working on this have persuaded me that we need a more severe quarantine than we have, and the U.S. is far far behind where the UK is. Is this in the US or here, I'm confused if the above post relates to the UK? Cheers This is in the US, but when I said "we" I meant the UK. As in I think people are being too lax in the UK, and most of the US is far behind the UK. The UK at least doesn't have the same scale of leadership problem that the US does though. Heard plenty of stories where older patients have ignored doctors & told them they're pushing a stupid liberal plot. That was the Trump party line ( lots of examples like this) and I hope they didn't catch & spread it, but it shows how much leaders' words matter. |

Plenty of mention of it from lots of concerned people told they’ll lose their jobs if they don’t show up etc. I’m still stunned non-essential work hasn’t been closed down yet. We closed down on Friday with only essential or specially dispensated work to continue But either way, ignoring the pretty clear advice on social events and whatnot which are the definition of non-essential in this climate doesn’t speak well for the “mature” nation the PM claims us to be. I’m convinced we’re days away from a compulsory lockdown because people still don’t get it. |

Yes that was my reaction too. Why? Haven't heard anything about that. Just checked the latest update on Gov.uk and no mention of anything to do with pets. I haven't seen anything about this either. Is it to do with the news story that in Hong Kong there has been a transmission of the virus from a pet dog? (Apparently).

To be fair walking your dog is not ruled out you just need to keep your distance I take mine early and late or at meal times when there is less people around. Indeed, the problem is people ignoring the advice again, walking dogs with friends, mixing households like the virus can’t spread outside. I’m dismayed by how much stuff I’ve seen online today with people contriving to interact despire the warnings. |

People working on a price won’t get it if their building site is open and they’re working towards practical completion and relying on that money to feed their families. |

We’re in the wank position that if we didn’t turn up, it would cause shit with the boss because he expects us the be there. He won’t shut down and doesn’t see the seriousness yet or he doesn’t give a shit one of the two. So I’m in until I’m told otherwise. 🤷🏻♂️ |

Are garden centres and post offices open?
If so why?
I'd like to go to both but that would be irresponsible wouldn't it....so therefore won't....I'd like the Oatcake opinion on that.....but if it is irresponsible....why are they open?
