    But only non-compulsory school is closing. Primary and secondary schools will remain open. In Italy, they closed the schools. So, while the parents were working, the grandparents looked after the kids. That didn't work out so well.
    My kids' college is switching to remote learning - lectures, tutorials all done over t'internet. The local international schools have already adopted that approach.
    The most radical action though, is people no longer shake hands on meeting.
    Does that mean your next wife-swapping meet is cancelled? You should have tried to keep it to under 150...

    All changed...

    ALL schools closed until 4th April. No meetings with over a hundred people. Restrictions apply to all leisure facilities, museums etc.

    I read that as "until there are no survivors" and was nodding along in agreement...

    just saw a tweet that doctors in milan are leaving anyone over 60 to die as there are not enough ventilators.
    30% of hospitalized patients are in the age group 30-60
    terrible situation
