the loss of earnings worries me more than the virus

And that's the mistake people are making, thinking small (i know that is an issue for many including myself) But although i'm not advocating heading to the hills. It could go that way.

This by far for me.

There's no safety net for me here and if I lose my main income then I only have a month or two's grace. Probably a better position than most but still worrying.

I've started to convince myself that spending some time living in a hut in a rice field may not be so bad after all.

I'm thinking like that already, and that's changed from 48 hours ago, when it was just a funny virus. I'm seeing people at work going ill minute by minute. Ambulances everywhere, shops stripped. It might just be London in the UK, but as a non panicky person. it's certainly started to test me.

Oh we've already had food shops and supermarkets looted near me. In rich posh Surrey. That won't hit the news.

Boris did say the London area was a bit ahead of the curve.

You're seeing almost certainly what we'll be seeing in a week or two.

London, if not the whole country, will be locked down by the end of the week. Army on the streets.

I was told tonight the army are on standby for lockdown Friday. I've now read this from you and it's coming from other sources too. There is meat on the bones of this rumour it would appear.

I'd be surprised to see the Army out so soon, surely that'd be a last resort?

Although they might call them in to help out with logistics etc, which would be a tad different to them being 'on the streets'. I would also not be surprised for the government to have plans drawn up to have the army 'on the streets' in that sense, but it doesn't mean they intend to implement them. It'd be irresponsible for them to not be prepared.

Fuck, we should not be talking about this in the sense that it could actually happen. But here we are...

I've heard the same. But who knows it might just fizzle out tomorrow. That's what I'll sleep on.

I work one minute from London Bridge and there were soldiers in the station (6 of them) in a group, not patrolling or looking on-duty but they were there when I went home today and armed police (2) outside the entrance at the road crossing when I arrived in the morning

Ladies & Gents...I introduce you to...

Donald Trump...President of the United States of America;

“...People are dying that never died before...”

It would only be incredible if he'd never said anything remotely stupid before.
