What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again ; there is nothing new under the sun.

Our PM in New Zealand just announced that ALL arrivals into the country need to self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival. Policy will be place until the end of March.

Fair play, its a very draconian action (considering we've had a total of only six cases in total) but that's what I call decisive leadership.

It just says they are triageing people?

That's good practice

There’s a snide part of me that keeps thinking “if it does get worse I’ll get a few months off work” then the rest of me realises that’s a proper nobhead thought

I lost my job and, believe me, cabin fever sets in quickly. I'm wandering and moping around the house and I need to get my s**t in order before my missus strangles me

More bad news. Looks like Liverpool may not be be winning the title...

English football's shutdown until April means season may never be completed

Football administrators acknowledge that the current suspension of the season is almost certain to last longer than the initial three weeks

I get what you’re trying to say, but let’s not wish for something that is killing thousands of people, let alone all the lesser hardships a pandemic causes.

Well it was only a joke mate. Didn't really mean it.

Stay strong Prev mate. Good people are scarce and I am sure you'll get sorted once this crisis is over.

Question for all of us is how long?

Good luck everyone. Hopefully we'll make it through on the other side in one piece.

Technically speaking, when everyone dies there is likely to be a labour shortage, so wages should go up.

The chickens have come home to roost haven't they?!

Global pandemic and national states of emergency all over the shop and both the US and the UK have in the hot seat crazed megalomaniacs surrounded by manic sets of one-eyed cult supporters that disavow expert advice.

We're doomed!

I've stayed out of this thread for the sake of my sanity, but aren't the government following the advice of the chief medical expert(s)? I'm sure I saw an interview or two yesterday where the said person explained what they're doing and why they're doing it. Is he the wrong sort of expert?

As of tomorrow in Manila

Manila locked down for 4 weeks
8pm - 5am curfew
Cannot go outside without a mask

Only banks + supermarkets will be open apparently

Today there was only a few cars around the city centre...

Well I thought we were doing it a bit different than anyone else, care of Boris and his government, I could be wrong.
