Two true stories.
On Tuesday my chiropodist was still working. I asked her if many of her clients had cancelled. She said 'No, but new bookings just aren't coming through'. She went on to say she had been stunned by the degree of ignorance among her clients (and let's face it, most of them are in the high risk groups) many of whom think the whole hing is wildly exaggerated and should be over by the week after Easter.
Second story concerns a mate who drives buses across Europe. He told his boss a week ago that he thought the proposed trip to France with various disabled people was unnecessary and inviting the virus. She insisted. He came back on Thursday with all the symptoms and rather than join his family, he has had to take a flat. His wife (a senior nurse) is delivering his meals daily.
He said that everyone in France is being stopped by the police and unless you can produce papers giving you permission to travel outside an area, they are sending you back home. The permits are being published by mayoral offices. His bus was stopped at several r o a d b l o c k s on the route to Calais.
I see today Bavaria has issued and backed with police reinforcement the plea that everyone stay in their houses till further notice. And you thought we had reached the bottom...

Spot on. 'Sad but true' cannot even start to do it justice.

The Tim Martin video is so shocking it's funny.
If he had his way, there would be drinkers passing on the virus to each other and the pub staff 'for the duration of the virus', all the time keeping the coffers full and the tills busy...all this he calls (and this is the funniest bit) 'the commercial view'

One person’s 2 weeks of shopping will be to someone else stockpiling. 2 weeks of shopping for a family of 5 is a lot of shopping. While some people’s behaviour when it comes to self isolating has been moronic( nice one Boris) I feel more sympathetic to those who are just making sure their families are prepared.

Gobsmacking attitude. Amazing.

I can confirm this. We are not allowed out of the house except on essential trips (food/medicine) and exercise within 2km of the house and then alone. We have to have a form for any of these activities. Many fines have been issued for breaches and the roads are now virtually empty. It makes me feel very safe and if tempted to go out I can easily convince myself not to. That's not so easy when it's just advisory.
