Please be careful. In Italy the situation is difficult, hospitals work very very very well, but the infections are increasing more and more. and now in some hospitals there are few ICU beds.You have to stay at home there are no other ways to avoid the infection. We went from two three sick people and the next day they were already 30 in one country. We immediately isolated the country with police checkpoints but in one week the infection invaded Lombardia and then Veneto and all of northern Italy. We have more than a thousand deaths only in Lombardy, around 1800 throughout Italy. Please do not underestimate the virus the only way is to isolate yourself in the house and not see anyone. In the cities that we isolated first ,where people stayed at home, the infection seems to have decreased greatly. STAY HOME IS THE ONLY WAY TO NOT GET SICK AND TO STOP THE EPIDEMIC Stay home, be careful, it's much worse than what they tell you.

Buona fortuna

The incubation period needs to be taken into account.

So it is longer than the 7 days we are being told

[RS blu]

In Italy, they say about two weeks. Unfortunately, the first periods after the infection, the person has no symptoms but when the symptoms arise with breathing problems often it is already late, especially for old people and people with other pathologies. There are several young and healthy deaths. Stay home please

Thanks Roberto. Your advice seems correct to me. You are in the middle of this, so have a better knowledge than we do in the UK so far. It is great to hear that the lockdowns in your cities are having a positive effect. Meanwhile our Government is still telling us to send our children to school. The Germans have closed theirs today. It is difficult for many families, but they are finding a way, as I am sure Italian families have. Stay safe!

The Surrey Art Fair wasn't cancelled and even though we were worried about footfall, which was down about 30% lots of people still came out as "It's the only event happening". Infact you even bump into the wierdest people @Bazza 907. We had an excellent show and Wendy sold 8 paintings so not everyone is self isolating!

 

[RS blu]

We are all trying to continue working here, we have done so in the past few weeks but now things are very difficult, only food stores and pharmacies remain open.
The big factories are open with reduced staff, even in Ferrari, everything else is closed, we cannot move from home.
Those who do not respect the rules are reported criminally.
It is very difficult, don't underestimate it please

smurfs dont get sick

I can't be agree more with the post from @KennyN 

But in french strategy we have a step 0 : teaching others a lesson ... then -> run -> hide -> surrender -> collaborate

You know in France we got a movement after terrorist attacks named " tous en terrasse" (go to restaurant terrace) but when a kid just drop a firecracker everyone run everywhere (true, videos are on Internet). I plan to put a flux capacitor on my Exige, very complicated for me to support this mess.

It's amazing how many emails I am getting from companies who have sold me stuff in the past (airlines, motor factors, hotels, watch companies - all manor of companies) where the chief exec or some other big wig is contacting to tell me that they are taking largervirous very seriously, they hope I am safe oh and by the way, you can still buy from us and use our services!

I don;t mind being sold to, but for fooks sake, just be honest and upfront and say "look, lagervirus is a nightmare nut remember we're you're best mate as you bought stuff from us so keep buying stuff from us, ok?"

Do I really give a flying fig that the CEO fo MArriott Hotels has personally "not" sent me an email telling me how they are following WHO advice on cleaning - of course you fooking are as you'd be stupid not to be!  Stop taking us for patsies please! 

Oh and don;t even get me fooking started on those chancers at BA - sending out an email to all their staff basically saying you're fooked and will probably lose your job at the same time as issuing a statement saying the government should not give state aid to their competitors as BA has £9bn in cash in the bank!  If you ever wanted to see the total "fook face" of bad management look no further than their CEO.  I am seriously thinking boycotting them for ever for that stunt!

Lol. Ooooh, a good rant does make me you feel much better....

I’ve just been into Tesco’s and quite frankly didn’t believe what I’ve just seen. A bloke with a trolley full to the brim overflowing with hand sanitizers, soap and baby wipes and just about everything people need!  -  I couldn’t help but to call him a selfish arrogant twat. I asked him if he knew what he was doing and had he given the slightest thought to other people or even the elderly, and then called him a tosser again and said that he should be ashamed of himself! - He told me to mind my own business, he worked there and was it ok to continue to stack the shelves?

Yup, you're definitely my best mate now.  IAG/BA executive scum.

Hasn’t he said he’s not taking his salary for the next 3 months and hoping others take 8 weeks unpaid leave.

how very big of him - especially when he takes home more a day than most employees do in a year

However bad the virus is, panic is doing even more harm. A major concern now is the deaths that might result from vulnerable non-infected people who won't get medical help from an over-loaded NHS.

Very disappointed that the media are doing nothing but reassure and instead increasing the paranoia and fear. BBC led with 'first man to die in wales' today. Not that there has been a fall in new cases. They also showed a video of a fight in a supermarket in Australia all promoting the narrative that society is on the brink of collapse. It turns out the fight wasn't actually anything to do with what's going on. Nothing about the great things communities are doing to help look out for each other. Other headlines read 'Europe overtakes China' not 'China gets virus under control'.

Good site here for the actual numbers.

in Denmark, just in the western part of Jylland (Jutland) 1700 medicine sudents and pensioned doctors and retired nurses stand up and are ready to take their turn. All being specially educated to tackle respirator patients. That's a exceptionally high number of professional people who are outside the normal system, ready to work seriously, in such a small country as Denmark is. No food fight here as well and all you need to buy is there. And they don't shop every day, only as rare as possible.

That is good news.

Kind regards,

Jacques

My daughter is cabin crew for them. Some of the stunts they play on the staff would make you whince.

Worked 32 years at BA (31 of them fantastic); got out 3 years ago when it went to crap.  Is she Mixed Fleet?  If so, I feel for her - especially in the coming months.  All Airlines are going to be raped and pillaged.  Hopefully IAG has enough cash reserves to keep things ticking over.

Great to hear about the public response in Denmark. Sadly Boris Johnson overestimates his own population if he thinks it will follows his new instructions without being compelled to. They’ll just continue to do what they damn well like. I live close to a pub. There was group of idiots in it yesterday. By 8pm they were all pissed up and spoiling for a fight in the car park. My kids could hear all the f-fing and blinding outside our house. That was just a Sunday afternoon: no football on the TV or anything to get angry about. The pub will doubtless stay open and the idiots will keep on coming. They couldn’t give a sh!t about anyone else. Maybe Darwin will do us a favour?

Probably the reason, no football for them to get all tribal
