Sean wrote Its now doubling every 3 days in the UK everywhere is closed and people told to stay inside but everyone is still going out in groups just insane. It looks like a forced lockdown is coming.

I work(worked) in a restaurant in Glasgow, had to go in on Sat+Sun to clean everything down. Glasgow city was actually surprisingly quiet, but outside the town is quite busy for some reason- seems a lot of people aren't taking this seriously enough.

Mortar wrote To the UK, you have less than 8 hours to feast on McDonalds before they completely close!

Got myself a micky D's after work last night and heard this news literally 5 minutes after I finished eating lol. You know its chaos when even McD's are shutting
going to go up and grab myself a McDonald's before they all close lol

I wonder what Boris will say at 8:30pm. It is a bit unusual for him to cancel his 5pm conference and an extended COBRA meeting.

Lockdown?

Michigan orders most people to stay home.
Most insane thing ever. Supposed to go "back" to work Saturday to finish up some cleaning projects at the restaurant I work at.

Hope everyone is alright health wise and financially!

G_Man wrote Like every other virus it's being overblown by everyone. It's a new Virus so that's why everyone is nervous about it, but the way people are talking about it, you'd think it was something out of Plague Inc and the world is going to end. SARS at this point was much worse than this virus, and had a lasting effect on China to this day which is probably why they are overreacting with everything there. It's better to overreact than to do nothing though. Problem is people keep overreacting to events like this, and when something serious does pop up they won't take it as serious.

Perhaps there is stuff we don't know and being hidden, I wouldn't put it past China.They didn't take SARS serious and acted like it was nothing, I'd hope they haven't did the same or covered things up. The governments being transparent in cases like this is vital as to not create even more panic than there is already. The deaths are mostly eldery/weak people with underlying health issues, it's not as though healthy people are dropping dead. On a worldwide scale we are better prepared for things such as this, especially after the SARS outbreak which had a high fatality rate.

I just think China are taking it very seriously, too seriously but like I said after what happened with SARS and the mess that was, they are not going to make the same mistakes, no holds barred with regards to stopping mass spread of it; everything including their health care has been overhauled since then. The media is doing no favours by getting everyone to panic about this, when really you shouldn't be, If people want to stress and panic about this, go ahead but I know I'll be sleeping sound at night with very little thought or care about this. If there's reason for concern we should of course take it serious but until then, chill out guys and go to the winchester and wait for all this to blow over in a month or two.


This aged like fine wine I see /s

Hope everyone and their families are safe and healthy. Be sensible don't be a prat and be selfish, adhere to what the government in your country tell you and keep social distancing. This is a time to come together and support one another, especially those who need it. Mental health is being tested just as much right now as well, so remember to reach out to family and friends and ask them how they're doing and offer to support them in anyway you can. If you're struggling personally, don't keep it in, talk to someone, we are all in the same boat here.
