Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said everyone in the UK should now avoid "non-essential" travel and contact with others to fight coronavirus.
He said people should work from home where possible, as part of a range of stringent new measures.
Some on here will still bang on about season ticket refunds |  |

My cousin is a manager in Fforsetfach, and he informed me that people have booked almost daily deliveries several weeks in advance. Selfish tvvats indeed. |
Have managers and the like been given advice from their head offices about rationing/restricting how much food folk can buy/get delivered?
Be interesting to know what the guidance is ATM. |  | | |

We are having a trial remote desktop workday tomorrow in case one of us has to isolate. I really hope it does not come to that but I suspect it may will.
I feel sorry for those in professions where it is impossible to do so and more needs to be done to protect them. |  |

There must be a way that Tesco can stop that happening? |
Everyone including business has been taken by surprise by this and obviously nothing is in place to stop it as there was never a need previously. I believe they are planning on upping the minimum spend. |  | | |

Our sons school has today cancelled all after school clubs, stopped having assemblies. Is this the lead up to schools shutting? |
That’s a precaution taken by an individual school - could be many reasons why they’ve made that call. There’s no central guidance that you have to do it. |  | | |

100% this.
It is crucial that the government promises NOW that no one will lose put financially if they are not able to go to work. And no small companies will go under because of the next few months as well, | | | |

The problem with the minimum spend is how it affects older people, many of whom live on their own and can’t get through £50 of food let alone afford it.
They surely could bring in a one delivery per address per fortnight (for example). And share info to stop people doing one from Tesco, one from Sainsbury etc etc. | | | |

My assumption is that the economic support is coming, but you would not include that in todays announcement. It would also take a huge amount of work to put together.

He hasn’t u turned and the advice on 7 days and 14 days is unchanged.
You obviously also didn’t understand the message on testing.
Or on the measures introduced today. |
He has.
Self-isolation of the individual showing symptoms only to whole household.
7 day period increased to 14 days
Business as usual to WFH if possible
No social distancing to social distancing

Which part of slowing it down do you not understand. Because no-one knows if they have it or not.
All those children spreading it amongst themselves in school, a bit like a cruise ship, infecting the teachers and then going home to infect anybody else they come in contact with.
Is that the sort of slowing down you mean? [Post edited 16 Mar 2020 19:55]

Do you know why the problem is so bad in Italy? One of the main reasons is they shut the schools too early, parents carried on working and the kids went to stay with grandparents. Kids are the carriers of this showing no symptoms, they then passed it on to to the oldies. Average age of those who died was 81. Also many families co habit with grandparents in Italy, making it even worse.
The kids are ok, just leave them where they are, there parents can stay working then also. No doubt there will be a week or two added to Easter anyway which might ease the situation. |  | | |

Thing is that if they have no stock when the pickers go to collect their shopping from the shelves then they won't get special treatment because they ordered it. |  |

He really hasn't.
This is what is referred to in my business as a "moving feast".
You change controls to suit the conditions, it's not a U turn in the slightest. |  |

I’d be equally gobsmacked if the govt helped financially. 20% of our workforce lacks any employer safeguards. No way they’ll agree to help all of those people, let alone employees like those in Virgin (maybe a loan at a push). Their whole approach so far is self responsibility- each to their own and good luck. | | | |

I don’t mean the advice has not developed. It has, massively. I mean the bit about whether someone is infectious for 7 days or 14 days hasn’t changed. That’s stayed the same. And it’s not a u turn to gradually introduce more measures. It’s what they said they’d do, | | | |

Hmm. We’ve been following the self-isolation advice for one of our kids. It was definitely 7 days just a day ago. But yeah, it’s certainly developed. | | | |

I am in a similar situation to many other grandparents, I am in my 70’s, as is my wife, we have our grandson 2, sometimes, 3 days a week.
We take him to school and pick him up and he normally stays with us at least one night a week, my daughter and her husband work and would find it very difficult should one of them not do so. |  | | |

It’s still 7 for an individual. It’s 14 now for a household to cover infection from one to another.
A single person living on their own is still 7 days. | | | |

That has to change, they cannot expect you to, even if you want to, carry on with that arrangement. Peoples lives matter more than wealth.
You need to seriously reconsider that mate. [Post edited 16 Mar 2020 21:20]

It will all depend on the rules concerning help for businesses and when or if it's implemented
We have 4 home games left (excluding play off )
Luton on Wed 18th March
Sheff Wed on Sat 4th April
Leeds on Mon 13th April
Bristol City on Sat 25th April
I'd be surprised if we don't complete them as usual.
