Think you’re right. If they’re not told they have to legally stay in people won’t.

Lombardy the runaway leader, and as we know that's where 100k from Wuhan reside now.

That guy whose link I put up the other week wasn't a conspiracy theorist or Nostradamus,  just purely pointing out factual evidence related to the numbers returning from Wuhan after their New Year and where it would be most likely to spread.

He's been spot on so far.

If there are 100,000 Wuhan folk in Lombardy then it’s no wonder they’ve got it bad, can’t be many areas outside of China with that concentration of folk from one region in China.

And some have the mental capacity to make an educated choice And take some precautions. There are others who are carrying on regardless. If there is any justice in the world and if it’s as bad as some make out then these folk will bear the brunt of it hopefully

She will be but school hours only covered. Social distancing will present a problem which doesn’t seem to have been thought about with who can care for the kids out of school hours. 

seems fair enough

he works for us from 9-3

hes got 3 kids, his estranged wife has been sectioned

I’m in the pub at moment just self isolated for hour and half on my bike, washed my hands before I ate a bag of nuts and quietly supping a pint of Yorkshire blonde no one within 5 meters of me, don’t see a problem with that myself.

As I’ve said some have the mental capacity to make an educated choice. I’m choosing now to stay in other than walks. I may go for a pint at some point. As and when I decide it’s ok for me personally to take that risk. 
what you’re not doing is just ignoring it and carrying on. As I said some people are Taking precautions and that’s entirely upto the individual

I’ll follow these figures closely, I think it’s scaremongering and I know it’s not intentional, let’s hope I’m correct. 

one thing that could fcuk up projections based on recent history is the numbers still alive most susceptible to death will reduce

Not technically correct. Do you know that all of these permanently reside there? Or are you just being obtuse as per?

Is he classed as an essential worker? Certainly sounds like he’d be in the group that needs protecting from this virus as do his parents.

Many emergency services staff who are on the list work 24/7, what do they do?

Its an observation I’ve made. The solution would seem to be to make child care available for those essential staff 24/7, is that feasible? I don’t know but I’d really hope that this point has been discussed and covered rather than just banging a list of roles out.

Did you actually read the article where it confirmed many had gone back to that area of China for their New Year celebrations ?

Have a stab at where the first deaths in that area were from

No need for sarcasm, the sooner you face facts the better it will be.

Pray based on that summary 

no, hes not essential

but hes important to us as only one of 2 with his skillset

his situation looks pretty hopeless if he has to care for his kids without work

 

suppose he can try universal credit but beyond that, hes fooked

What happens if you apply your logic, go for a pint, catch it off the bar staff and then spread it?

What justice would you expect?

No, not mixing with anyone who’s at risk I’ve not been in work office for 10days , if I get ill it’ll most likely be from the wife who’s looking after kids at school or my son who’s still at school and at that stage I’ll isolate myself. I’m taking sensible precautions the only people I’m mixing with is my lad and wife and that’s unavoidable.

Who am I spreading it to? Just out of interest? What do you know about my own personal circumstances?
