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.
