Me and a few others getting out of the US on one of the last few flights. Holiday cut short 6 planes and 4 or 5 airports in 3 days does this put us in the high risk category and have to self quarantine.

You should self-quarantine. Don't wait for someone to tell you to.

We're trying to alter the curve, not prevent it happening . With everyone pulling in same direction we'll get it done in two weeks. Then slowly try to deal with it case by case while still continuing with a new norm of distance and hygiene as we go about our lives. The trouble is UK, People over there will seek a way out, and Ireland will be it.

Are we presuming that gyms and the like will be closed for an extended period - such as 2 months?

Thinking of popping down to Elverys to get in some home gym essentials but wouldn't do so if they will only be closed for 2 weeks.

Surely things won't actually be reopening as the numbers growth worsens?

Anyone wanting to go to a gym at the moment needs their head examined

SO the new text going around now is

Just to let you know ins speaking to my friend who is a guard and just out from conference..full lock down being announced at 11 tomorrow to come into effect from Tuesday. Shops will only be opened for a certain amount of time each day with army outside only allowing certain amount of people in each time. And max 100 people allowed to queue. He said make sure you buy bottled water and any baby stuff required. He could be for 2 weeks or 30 days and is up for review after that. Hospitals have been told to be prepared for Tuesday and army and fire service be prepared for Wednesday. Fire brigade will possibly be used for ambulance duties also.

I just dont know why you need to buy bottled water? are they turning off the water?

I love the line about the baby stuff, niiiice touch.

Cops are always thinking about baby stuff, they are sound like that.

Bottled foooooking water, plleeeeeeaaaaaaase.

Germanys death rate looks to be about .1%, same as flu, how are they managing that?

Good question here the comparison with France which is stark given they have comparable overall numbers

France 5,423 +924 127 +36
Germany 5,813 +1,214 11 +2

edit from a euronews feature

How come fewer people are dying from COVID-19 in Germany than elsewhere?
At a press conference last Wednesday, Prof. Dr. Lothar H. Wieler, President of the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin said, "From the beginning, we have very systematically called upon our doctors to test people."

He added that the German system can provide "testing to a high degree so that we can easily look into the beginnings of the epidemic."

Wieler also explained that this is just the beginning for Germany. "If you imagine an epidemic like a curve [...] then there are countries that are simply further" into the progression of this epidemic.

The thing that got me was that the hospitals need to be ready for tuesday, is everyone just expecting to get sick on tuesday out of no where.

I think this is very different to 2008. The threat to consumer and market confidence comes from a virus. If the virus can be beaten back, confidence should return quickly.

All pubs were closed by this morning.
Cafes followed this evening.
Supermacs is meant to be closing also.(In my town)
GYMs and fitness places also.
Other small shops also.

Re: whatsapp rumours of army at supermarkets.

We're working from the same script as Italy and Spain, they are just a stage ahead.
Is the army at supermarkets there?
Our next lockdown will be their current stage.

My brother is a current relatively high ranked member of the army and he is literally on annual leave for the next week. I'm calling bull**** on this.

How are people feeling about meeting their elderly parents? I'm going to avoid physical contact with them, but ring them daily.

Screamer ready for lockdown, whether it be tomorrow or later this week. All I’m saying is better to be ready than surprised. I’m no dreamer in fact lately it’s just nightmares.

I am all for closing the airport etc.. but I would be weary of the scaremongering..
