thank god I was in Mallorca last week then since it's gone into shutdown and flights being cancelled now rip

i judge those who have only now started to wash their hands after using the toilet

Phub have made premium membership free in Italy while the place is locked down lol, imagine how much worse the toilet roll situation would be if they did that here

I left my apartment before to go for a quick drink before the midnight lockdown kicks in... every single restaurant and bar closed. The streets deserted. I'm thinking of waiting for a few days/week to see what happens, and then possibly fly back home - surely they'll still run flights for stranded nationals?

There's also reports (ITVs Robert Peston) that the elderly (over 70s) will be told to quarantine for 4 months by Her Majesty's Government.

Please read this stat - over half the cases in France in ICU are under age 60. This isn’t just a disease that impacts grandparents and elderly. https://t.co/sJcTvvi9ai

From a doctor in a major hospital: “In Milan they are having to choose between intubating a 40-yr-old with 2 kids ...who is fit & healthy & a 60-yr-old with high blood pressure ...In the hallway, there are another 15 who are hardly breathing & need oxygen” https://t.co/IkpqsIKrJq

I'm going to pack all my non-essential stuff into suitcase tonight/tomorrow, deep clean apartment and literally be ready to bail next week. I'm 50/50 on what to do. I just can't see schools returning in 2 weeks, and there's no way I am sitting here alone for 6 to 8+ weeks with no Wifi.

Are you considering returning to Britain?

You know what else is worrying me, the economic and social fallout if this persists... plagues can cause depressions, and revolutions/social unrest.

Def going to be an economic crisis, airlines are said to go bust, the likes of Norwegian airlines and even British Airways are worried..
A LOAD of small businesses are going to shut down, probably permanently as a result, especially if tourist or luxury type of business.

Following the COBRA meeting, the Queen has left Buckingham Palace and has moved to Windsor Castle - all imminent engagements cancelled.

Surely live-in staff should be arranged and strictly no contact with the monarch from anyone else.

@GoldenMerc;

Booked a flight out (£103) for Tuesday. Saw EasyJet and RyanAir are pulling flights after that, so it was now or never.

Whether I will be able to get back for my Brazil flight/work I have absolutely no idea. Everything up in the air. But at least i'll be with family.
