Completely understand everyone family frustrations, both my parents are over 70, my sister lives close. I asked her if she is isolating she says they haven't been told to and she''ll carry on until she gets it! Stay the f*** away from mum and dad then! It's incredible!

Just returned from the supermarket. I can safely say that normal panic has resumed.

No, you get your instructions from LA’s and Trust Boards.
I went to a meeting of the Cumbria Heads two weeks ago and caught their briefing to the Heads on Coronavirus

I believe you have a very good understanding of what is going on but on this point I must disagree. We are still along way from being in lockdown.
The schools still being open being the obvious one but many parts of our country are continuing as if there is no problem.

Just been to eastlands asda. Was ok at this time in terms of not being full of shitbags, but chicken and eggs are long gone. Stocked up on bacca and rizlas and an asda worker nearby was telling me that it had kicked off a few times people fighting over food.Sad fucking cunts. In other news I've got 4 toilet rolls left, though I'm still not sure this is a major issue should anyone run out- just use a shower head like they do in Thailand!?

At the point of repeating myself I am all for Heads taking and making a decision without having to await this government taking a step forward.

There are still just as many cars going down my road as before. Not convinced people are avoiding all unnecessary travel/contact. Laws will have to be passed.

I understood your point Oakie, mine is the LA won’t be best chuffed or the government’s pay masters.
Even though I don’t agree with it, they are trying to keep schools open for a reason.

It's a large company so it's coming from higher up but he seems really on board with it. Obviously I don't want to get ill but I'm more concerned for family or anyone vulnerable who I may potentially come in to contact with. Its like being in a weird bubble at work today. Ignorance is not bliss!

The current test only tests if you have it, not if you've had it. A new test will be available sometime in the next 4 weeks to do exactly this. It will be retrospectively applied.
It was like that at ours until this morning. Hopefully yours will see sense very soon. Good luck x

Actually we have to wait for the antibody test to identify who has had it so we can determine the has had the virus.
I told my Mum (in a risk group) to ask her rhemumatology doctors about a prescription for hydroxychloroquine. This is a arthritis treatment and it's also one of the anti-virals the South Koreans use on their at risk patients. No luck: Consultant off sick and other doctors say it's unproven. Going round in circles. Half-expected but was worth a try.

200 Qatar Airways technical staff found out they’d lost their jobs yesterday when their passes didn’t work for the building and security asked them to call HR.

Glad your place saw sense, think ours is still a way off that but we'll see!

TWO schools in Winsford are closed today over two suspected cases of Coronavirus.
Wharton C of E Primary and Whitegate C of E Primary are shut.
It is not yet known when they will reopen.
Wharton headteacher Natalie Tomlinson informed parents and carers that the school on Greville Drive would remain closed on Monday.
Mrs Tomlinson posted on Facebook: "We have been made aware that a member of our school community has a suspected case of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) and is therefore self-isolating for seven days as per the current guidance from Public Health England, the Government and the DFE.
"I am awaiting further details from Public Health England specific to our circumstances and until I know it is safe to open, school will be closed tomorrow, 16th March 2020.
"I will update you as soon as I can, once I have the relevant guidance from Public Health England. We are closing because I do not currently have the information I need in order to ensure the safety of the school community and therefore until I have the information I need we will close tomorrow."
Updates will be on the school website wharton.cheshire.sch.uk and the school Facebook page.
Whitegate C of E Primary School is also closed today, Monday, over a suspected case of coronavirus.
The closure was confirmed by headteacher Caroline Mackenzie in an email sent out to parents.

"I am awaiting further details from Public Health England specific to our circumstances and until I know it is safe to open, school will be closed tomorrow, 16th March 2020.

Both schools reopened on Tuesday.
Wharton headteacher Natalie Tomlinson told parents and carers: "I have now had a conversation with Public Health England (PHE) and can confirm that we can open on 17th March 2020.
"We have undertaken a deep clean of school and will continue to adopt the PHE guidance of handwashing and ‘catch it bin it kill it.’
