That's chilling.

They're already at capacity - and this thing's barely even started.

The social distancing and pub closure measures implemented on Friday only came about because of pressure from the French according to this story in the Telegraph (also carried in the Mail, Mirror and Times). So he only eventually did the right thing under pressure from the French.

Well, Greece is in total lockdown now. Can’t go out unless you get a code from the authorities after filling in a form stating the purpose of your trip.

Also, thinking of banning over 65s from going out - period. I’m 65 in 3 weeks time.

Yeah, saw the Scottish turned away around 30 camper van's from the Nevis area in Fort William hoping to ride it out.
Twas on twitter and the replies from the Scots weren't exactly pleasant, Nationalistic much.

Me and the missus have been self isolating for a week with mild flu like symptoms including persistent dry cough, temperature etc. Having felt slightly better yesterday, we have both gpne downhill a bit today. Sure we will be fine, but worrying none the less, particularly as I have an elderly mum with cancer, who for obvious reasons we have not seen over this period and wont be for a while yet as she will be one of the 1.5m in the highly vulnerable category. Does make you think about how precious life is and a reminder not to sweat the small stuff when things are going well.
