South Korea ssems to have the handle on this, probably got an inherent distrust of the chinese and anything they say

The government here very quickly followed the South Korean model, but the people have bought into it too and are working very much with health advice

Only allowed out in ones mate. We don't have any of this exercise a day thing here. We can leave the house to go to the shops, pharmacy etc, travel to work or walk animals.

If they catch you in pairs it's a 600€ fine!

The govt are going to regret not telling uk to use masks.

"I'll tell you a tale, that's been recently written.
Of a powerful army, so Great it saved Britain.

They didn't have bombs and they didn't have planes.
They fought with their hearts and they fought with their brains.

They didn't have bullets, armed just with a mask.
We sent them to war, with one simple task.

It couldn't be stopped by our bullet proof vests.
An invisible enemy, invaded our chests.

So we called on our weapon, our soldiers in Blue.
"All Doctors, All Nurses, Your Country needs you".

We clapped on our streets, hearts bursting with pride.
As they went off to war, while we stayed inside.

They struggled at first, as they searched for supplies.
But they stared down the virus, in the whites of its eyes.

They leaped from the trenches and didn't think twice.
Some never came back, the ultimate price.

So tired, so weary, yet still they fought on.
As the virus was beaten and the battle was won.

The many of us, owe so much, to so few.
The brave and the bold, our heroes in Blue.

So let's line the streets and remember our debt.
We love you, our heroes,
Lest we forget."

Social distancing with lines painted on the floor 2m apart at our local Asda, was like Alton Towers!

We still have the family allowed out together here, within 2km of the house for excerise, shopping is still the normal routine, no major changes. 

Is it getting any better at all where you are.

Does anybody believe that China has only had 3322 deaths ? Considering the Corona started there and they have had it longer than anybody else as well. There basic lack of hygeine and facilities in a lot of Provinces over there compared to harder his Countries like Italy USA UK Spain, I dont believe any of the numbers coming from them in regards to new cases/deaths they have had. jmo

I would speculate the deaths in China are in the 100 of thousands not what they have led the world to believe, will the true figure ever come out I don't think so, there economy is far too important.

For what credibility china had , is now shot to bits , things are certainly going to be different when this is over , hopefully we'll learn our lesson with testing labs ppe ect and manufacture more in the uk
