Grim news from Italy over night.

Personally, I'm now fairly convinced that this cannot be stopped from spreading throughout the globe.
In our back yard, in an internationally linked country like the UK I think we need to start preparing ourselves psychologically for it entering UK cities - at which point (given the apparent ease of transmission and long incubation period) in practical terms containment becomes impossible.
We should be grateful that the death rate appears to be relatively low however, it should be treated as a major wake up call. Next time the virus could be truly deadly.
