Has anyone thought about what's going to happen with food banks? There's often a queue half way down the street at our local one. It's a real worry because people aren't going to be too keen to volunteer to deliver, with all this 'stay indoors' business. We really are in a terrible state. Work, school, travel - all badly affected.

Work, school, travel - all badly affected. Are we in a "terrible" state? Schools are open. More and more people can work remotely. People can use public transport. People who display mild symptoms to self-isolate for 7 days. I would hazard a guess that martial law and strictly enforced quarantine would be far, far worse - incredibly frightening and psychologically traumatic.

Oh, you'd hazard a guess, would you?

I think this is where it will fall down. I can't see people doing this in huge numbers when they might not even have it.

"Chief Scientific Adviser just said this in the coronavirus Q&A:
The infection peak is now 10 to 14 weeks away, or a bit longer. 95% of people who will contract corona will get it 9 to 10 weeks either side of peak, and 50% will get it 3 or 4 weeks either side."

Our Nazi of an Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has it, which must make him furious to have caught something Asian that isn't someone on a boat seeking asylum.

98% of the deaths in Italy are people over 68. 67% have had previous diseases. The average age of death is 81. It's pretty clear where the concern should be. The overall problem is how stretched medical services will be, I wouldn't want to develop a 'regular' illness or emergency in the next couple of months.
I must admit I'm not particularly grasping the shift in 'containment' to 'delay', the biggest new advice in Johnson's speech was to stop hogging the 111 line.

Bolsonaro's probably got it, and the Grauniad are revelling in the fact that he met TRUMP recently (because their website has lots of photos of them together, smiling).
I think a fair proportion of the world will tolerate the stress caused by this thing if it takes TRUMP out. Wouldn't that be funny?

I'd much rather see him and his whole family lined up against a wall and shot, but beggars can't be choosers I guess.
