Here in Florida, guns and ammo are flying off the shelves as much as bog roll. Very sad.

Not really, kitchen and all 3 bathrooms demolished and all our furniture is outside as we had all the floor tiles ripped up. We are having hurricane rated windows and doors fitted and the weather and humidity is ramping up nicely for hurricane season. Just what we need 😊.

You could reduce the risk to you and your family by getting them to concentrate on getting one bathroom up and running and setting up a temporary kitchen. Then tidy up and put the project oh hold.
Not ideal but it,s an option

This isn't great to read , I neither disagree or agree with him but it's worth putting it out there none the less .

Interesting read Animal much of which makes sense. Interesting to read the comments from the Chinese people from Wuhan who say "dont believe the figures coming out of china" ...looks like Wan has some more selling to do

Some of the questions from the public on the news are hilarious.

We know we can't go abroad but is it ok to take a holiday in the U.K.

Is it ok to go and see my Mother this Sunday

How do I wash my hands properly

If I were the news presenter I'd refuse to ask. Embarrassing

Ignoring advice to stay at home/only make absolutely essential visits and this is what you and others could face

Some people who come on here regularly don't get it either.

One of the guests on the news this morning was explaining that people should not visit the Scottish Highlands as the medical services are so sparse and can't cope with an influx of tourists.
He then felt the need to clarify that the Highlands were just an example and the request wasn't just confined to that part of the Uk; it applies to many areas.

The fact he felt he needed to clarify that just shows how ignorant and selfish quite a number of our citizens are. A bit of Common sense would be useful
If it were me I'd refuse to provide medical assistance to anyone who has ignored requests/ directives

Sad to say I think I would adopt that line as well

I have a Home on the Western Isles but I’m not going back there to protect all my friends there - I’m currently staying with family in North Yorkshire to help them out and will now stay here even if it means being here for 12 months or more anything to avoid The risks to myself those close to me and the general public health all of them matter

Yes we might find them hilarious or embarrassing but some people are not well educated, at least they’re asking, maybe a poster sent out would help in simple words
