Safest place to be, in all honesty, aside from inside your house, is on the golf course. Lots of open space

Unless of course a golf ball hits you on the head. That happened to a friend of mine. Although the golf balls that hit him were in a sock at the time.

Surely supermarkets will return to normal soon as people will run out of room to stockpile

I treated myself to proper boss tickets for this as well.
Obviously cancelled the hotel this morning along with everyone else no doubt and that will have a knock on effect.

There`s hundreds of events that are getting cancelled, not just the big ones like the TT, the Grand National and the London Marathon, but loads in rural areas - big fell running events, rural race courses etc, where people not only stay over, but all spend money in the local pubs, restaurants, shops etc whilst there.

Plus thousands of people run these events for charity, so there`s all the millions the charities will be losing too.

It could wipe out some parts of the country.

One of my mates owns a climbing gym here in Pittsburgh. Not sure how he's going to survive this without government intervention.

They were printing money two weeks ago

One of the fastest growing sports in the world so not surprised they were doing well. Hope this doesn’t hit them too hard.

Would it not be possible for us to isolate the vulnerable and allow others to carry on as best as possible? Not just for selfish reasons like ‘I want to go the pub’ or ‘I want to go the gym’ but to save jobs, businesses, homes and families from hardship and in some cases destruction.

Not if lunatics keep buying more chest freezers to stick it all in Neil.

I keep waiting for this to happen, but, each day seems to be worse than the previous one.
I had to go to 3 separate supermarkets last night, just to get some beer.
