    Right that's it. Go and self quarantine yourself and don't post again until you've been symptom free for 10 days.

    Just reading an update - if you are in the West Midlands you are in trouble.

    Pubs, shops etc to be closed on Monday or sooner across England.

    So the problem is pubs and gyms.

    There is like 22 Ikeas in the UK. I can walk to any one of 22 supermarkets in 20 minutes.

    Oh and if they just look down London then people like me could just get into a car and go stay with relations outside London.

    In fact my younger neighbours have done that already - taking any virus with them...

    They should all be masked and gloved.

    started a topic Bans

    Bans

    “ The British capital is the target of tougher measures because it has the highest rate of infection and deaths so far. Debate within government is continuing about whether non-essential shops - that is those not selling food or medical supplies - would be included in the ban.

    The Government had been considering a formal ban on Thursday and was braced to announce it - but pulled back.Among senior government figures there is a deep reluctance to issue banning orders.”
