O/T:- Are we over-reacting to COVD19?

Watching the press PM and health officials at the press conference now.

Testing to be ramped up. Good decision IMO but slightly confusing as I think they only ramped it down last Thursday.

They admitted they are closer to the Italian scenario than previously thought.

Asking people to avoid social contact and not go out unless necessary. Not a lockdown but looks like a kind of requested/voluntary lockdown. Not sure how or if that will work. PM straight batted any questions about whether he was willing to enforce it by repeating that he has the legal power but thinks people will respect the request.

Govt withdrawing public support for large gatherings, which I suppose amounts to an effective ban if police and ambulances can't be at the football.

A lot of it sounded quite vague but said there will be more detailed guidance issued this evening.

We're being softened up. Things are moving too quickly to be unplanned, or else they have no plan at all.
