Does anyone know what time the Govt. spiel is this afternoon - and who is doing it ?

Agreed Caz, in fact HMG were beginning to take action before then:


January 24th


”Summary of action taken


We have introduced advanced monitoring at airports with direct flights from China.


A team of public health experts has been established in Heathrow to support anyone travelling in from China who feels unwell. These hubs will bring in rotational teams of 7 clinicians, working in shifts, who will be on hand to support patients on arrival. This is in addition to medical staff who are already permanently in place at all UK airports and the advice issued to all UK airports for people travelling to and from China.


The government has issued clinical guidance for the detection and diagnosis of Wuhan novel coronavirus, and infection prevention and control.


The Chief Medical Officer, Medical Director at PHE and Medical Director at NHSE/I have issued advice via a CAS (Central Alerting System) alert to frontline staff to increase awareness of the situation and any actions to take.


Most people who develop symptoms will get them after leaving the airport and so the priority is providing UK residents and travellers with the latest information to make sure they know what to do if they experience symptoms, and the NHS and PHE have an established plan to respond to someone who becomes unwell.”

I must have missed the bit where, as soon as the early stages of panic-buying became evident, they put in place strict controls on buying quantities of certain product, and introduced limits on the number of shoppers allowed in at a time.


They're also taking advantage of the business rates holiday - supermarkets will collectively benefit to the tune of £3bn (from the taxpayer). Tesco alone won't be paying £700m. Wonder if it was just a quirk of timing that, just a couple of weeks after the government's announcement, they declared that dividends to shareholders would rise by 60% to £637m....?

I am just commenting that they had begun to take measures, albeit very limited as early as January.

My wife’s idea: she set our daughter a quiz with the answers being numbers, which led to the house numbers where the eggs were hidden. 

We’ve had a few tearful episodes with my daughter missing her friends but generally she is bearing up well.

Went on another 11K perambulation this morning.


As I started at 7 AM hardly anyone around.  


As I retuned near the village later though I encountered various individuals and parties.  Most  were fine, however I got annoyed by one (older) woman.  It was a narrow path, so I reversed up and found a small alcove in the hedge to let her pass at 2M.  Firstly her out-of-control dogs  bounded up to me.  Now I don't mind dogs, but some people are terrified by them -  extremely poor form IMHO.  Then she whipped out her mobile and took a call  while standing still, while I was still  in the hedge with trigs poking into me waiting for her to come pass !


She eventually "sailed by" in the middle of the path  reducing my carefully calculated 2M to a 1M and a bit  with no thanks you or even an acknowledgement of my existence - I  was p*ssed off after the 'phone incident so purposely waited silently !

It would have taken nothing and made no difference if he'd put it two metres from the path. Luckily I had put my gloves on to do the padlock on the gate because he seemed just the type that could have contaminated it.

Got on the juice a bit early did we? As far as I'm aware they're not able to gather this information in a consistent form. Anyway I'm not sure why you've suddenly become so concerned, after all it's a just another few hundred deaths isn't? Let's get the pubs open eh?

Very sad news. I’m currently re-reading Michael Palin’s diaries from the 1970s and the Goodies feature quite a bit. 


(incidentally London in the 70s sounds pretty grim, bombings, sieges etc scattered frequently through the pages!)
