He hasn't been seen for about a month, I'm hoping it's in shame rather than an ironic catastrophy

We should be shutting things down and socially distancing now and anyone that doesn't think so can fight me.

Had an Asda home delivery earlier:

Did you have the email?
Yes, the nuts I ordered are out of stock.
I have never seen anything like this, we are running out of everything.
People really are panic buying?
Yeah, it's incredible. This past week or so has been busier than at any time over Christmas.

I thought Asda only delivered to people with online accounts, not those who transacted exclusively in cash and gold doubloons.

I think Italy will be seen as a slightly special case when all is said and done. A lot of Wuhans neighbouring provinces and China’s neighbours all had different responses and results,

I’m in Vitoria-Gasteiz, which is getting something like 30/40/50 new infections a day. We were up to 200 yesterday. Schools closed now. Limited gatherings.

The minister of health in Spain has said that worst case the epidemic will be gone by July.

I’m teaching in a private language school. We should probably shut for a few weeks but private enterprise are in it for the money. Staff health is secondary. We’ll only close when someone comes down with something.

I’ll be quitting after this thing is done.

What people are forgetting is over the last few months in the far away land of China we Europeans and the rest of the world thought hmmm sad but their problem. Too far away to affect us. Stop eating bats and whatever.
Then reasons unbeknown Italy and Iran had the virus develop after China, took them by surprise and it spread, really spread. To the point of both countries medical services are now on the brink. In this time through well publicised media the other surrounding nations have had time to observe and make judgements however it is spreading. Yes we are weeks behind but it will catch up.
Cobra meeting tomorrow to go into delay phase. Don’t panic but, get what you need supply wise and batten down the hatches.
The videos I’ve seen from Italy and Iran (people on the ground videos) are bloody scary so I think let’s not be complacent about it.

Interesting read with some good graphs. It backdates the cases the authorities knew about at the time with the actual numbers, along with some other stuff. One big conclusion is

Countries that are prepared will see a fatality rate of ~0.5% (South Korea) to 0.9% (rest of China).
Countries that are overwhelmed will have a fatality rate between ~3%-5%

I think we must surely be on the cusp of a sudden exponential increase in the number of cases of coronavirus? Are we just incredibly lucky or is there some inherent immunity that most of us possess?

These 3 new about what we needed to do in advance of our own Government it seems. And that's just looking at page 3 (10th - 11th March).

That's only this thread as well, there were plenty of others, which were probably much more relevant, but only this one has lasted the distance for some reason

The word 'update' may be a clue!

10 UK deaths (earlier today), 2 of them overseas.

How many people have died in the UK from the ordinary Flu over the same time scale? I bet it's more than 10.

People love a drama, and the past two weeks the media, politicians, etc. have been acting like the big drama queens they are. Next they'll be painting red crosses on our doors and have bin men come road calling for the dead - then again they'll probably leave them in the gutter for being put in the wrong colour coffin..

Italy locked down just because they're drama queens

It's mad how people made their mind up at the start of March and won't change it inspite of all the evidence.
