We went shopping this morning and I joked with my wife that perhaps we shouldn't be buying vegetables that have come from Italy.  Are you going to ban imports because they might have virus on them?

Maybe we should close the borders entirely. I can just imagine how pleased everyone'll be when the shelves are empty in their supermarket!

It is beyond maddening that the authorities across Europe have been so unwilling and so slow to react to Italy. Italy is Europe's Iran - look at all the cases spreading out from Italy.

On the topic of Iran - obviously very transparent:


"Amid fears that Iran was attempting to cover up the full scale of the outbreak, reports on social media suggested that security forces had collected the phones of medical personnel in Kamkar Hospital of Qom - which is being used for coronavirus patients' treatment - and said they can only make emergency necessary calls with the security's permission."

Around 1,000 people were in quarantine in Germany's most populous state Friday, as the number of confirmed cases of novel coronavirus in Europe's biggest economy rose above 50. The district of Heinsberg in North Rhine-Westphalia said it had to take the step of keeping around 1,000 home as an infected couple had participated in carnival celebrations in mid-February. Schools and kindergartens were also shut in the district until Monday as the number of cases linked to the cluster reached 20. (Source: AFP)

Here are the stark options according to The Times:

"What would be worse for society: suspending normal life as we know it for months and suffering the social and economic consequences? Or letting thousands of people — mainly elderly — die from coronavirus?


This is the blunt choice that would face Britain if a pandemic hits. It is still an if, but it is now more likely than not and the probability rises with every day that outbreaks rage out of control in Italy and Iran.

We need to go on the offensive and throw everything at this to delay a UK epidemic for as long as possible. In terms of economic impact we should do everything to alieviate the damage but accept that a recession is probably unavoidable.
