You're such a nice person.

The conservative estimates are around 15k
Other than the run on supplies, the coronavirus doesn’t seem to complicate matters thankfully. It will more just be dealing with the complication of isolating from each other if we get it with a newborn in the house.
So what is the doomsday clock looking like right now? How long before many parts of the world go into chaos because of the virus and the brewing collapse of the global economical system?
I think it is a planned communications strategy. Of course they will do anything to contain/mitigate the disease.
But getting rid of it, to late, it is everywhere in Europe. We can't do a 4-6 week shutdown to "hunger" it out.
We have too many spreaders, that are needed to sustain our health systems, food supply, necessary logistics, public security etc.
Harsh as it sounds, we can delay till a vaccine is availabe or antiviral pharmaceutics. But worst case, it will only flatten out with herd immunity (won't even think about the scenario, when we as humans are not able to develop this herd immunity cause our bodies can't do it)
Yeah , it makes a good movie as well. I hope I can atill order my Guy Fawkes masks.
But, you need to enforce the separation. Since you cant give them additional brains, they'll have to deal with the brawn.
feck sakes. Noooooo.
They sound the same because they are basically the same. A flu is always a nasty bastard. The only thing to fear here is human stupidity sadly...
It got Idris Elba. 
If you have no symptoms why the feck are you getting tested?
Because he's a celebrity.
Yeah I think it was.

Someone around him got it hence why he got tested.

Bar the penultimate paragraph, I had the exact same symptoms early Jan. Cough last a few weeks and this particular fevee started with a dry cough which is very weird for me.
He said he was in contact with someone who tested positive.
And Boris doesn't have to pay out if he closes them himself.
Its shameless.

I thought the same over the weekend.
I would have thought 200 hundred nappies was hoarding, but just been informed by the wife that we’ll need at least 12 a day early on... that’s barely two weeks’ worth! Oh, tomorrow morning will be fun.
Fair enough but he should mention that so people don't get the wrong idea.

That’s annoying me somewhat. As always, those with money get more protection. It just shows that the numbers will be much greater than we know of. On another note something that bothered me earlier. I was in Tesco and used the bathroom, signs and posters about washing your hands and the Coronavirus. Was their any soap in their soap dispensers? Of course there wasn’t.
Just saw this on twitter

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau tested postive last week.
Morons on the street like that? Get the rubber bullets out, they’ll soon get the message
Got to say i'm hugely concerned at the impact this is going to have on the economy. Really worry about some of the lovely restaurants, pubs, shops etc in my area. Will they still be around by the time this all blows over?
Erm he did in the video.

Just a heads up, that's classed as "continuous" under the current circumstances (longer than half a day).
Im following UK/Europe news from Thailand. From, a distance, I think authorities learned something terrifying over weekend, which has then filtered down the grapevine, as panic levels seems to have suddenly escaped over this past weekend.
Im in a part of Phuket, where things are very calm. Im at a training bootcamp in a small village, near a jungle and far from the main tourist spots. It's an open air gym, vast majority of restaurants are open air, beach 10 mins away, and temperature always above 85F, and there are not that that many AC places anyway. And we are all eating freshly cooked food. I don't know if Thai Government is hiding truth, but the local shop vendors I deal with on daily basis keep telling they don't know anyone who is infected yet.
We've all started self policing now: no high fives or fist pumps after workouts, have conversations with other with 2 metre distance between, using hygienic wipes and hand cleanser etc. And no one if heading loo roll or fighting over resources (yet). Though Asia uses bum guns instead of loo paper.
But tourists here are panicking about having to return to their European city homes because of the mass panic that we are seeing on news, reading about or hearing from family PLUS our tourist visa's run out soon we are not sure if Thai Government will allow us to extend.
Is it really going nuts in London? Am due back on 25th March, but London sounds like it will be miserable. I'm in fantastic health and shape right now: coming back home sounds miserable: threat of self quarantine, if they shut down gyms in London, I'll go insane.
Should I stay out here as long as I can or brave the madness and reality of back home?
Wish the media would stop it with the celebrity angle. It really isn't the time for this nonsense.

Had the same shock on Saturday night when I was around at the sister in-law's house. She's just had a baby and saw the massive drawer's worth of nappies, reacting "you've enough to do you the next few months"....it was about 2 week's worth.
Only rubber? Feck them selfish cnuts!
Check out any B&M or Home Bargains stores too pal, and don't just buy Newborn nappies either. The lovely fecker might come out chunky!
Nappies, wipes (how does something so small poop so much?!), arse cream. Sounds like my weekends when I was in my twenties.
100 seconds to midnight. Last updated at the end of January.
Cheers.
For those panicking about nappies or other hard to find items. It might be a long shot, but you could attempt to phone some supermarkets nearby and plea to them to hold at least 1 item in reserve for you? Not sure if it'd work but you could at least try it right?
