Very odd today. Couple of meetings cancelled, and only 10 emails - whilst at home I had over 90 on Friday.
One of the other managers have said to me not to mention anything as she has a few staff with health conditions and some that were getting anxious. My updating them about the Tech company on the same road all working remotely by the end of the week, probably didn't help.

Probably thought the authorities can't have meant British people, only foreigners. After all, foreign laws don't apply to us, do they?
As an aside, after seeing what happened in Catalonia, I would not try and annoy Spanish police...

I thought that.
Their behaviour was probably more out of stupidity than bravery.
Another example of 'beer in, brains out'.
Never seen the point in going to eg Spain and ONLY eating full english breakfast. Yes, we have different tastes but at least try and enjoy the flavours of different foods.
As for insulting local foods I am with you....he needed a good slap.

A favourite of mine is rotos huevos y jamon*, tried to get a couple from Dudley to give it a go last year "No, no, you're alright. Foreign spicy food doesn't agree with us"
* basically ham, egg and chips.

We've cleared all non R&D people out of our head-office/Tech Centre building, with dedicated entry and exit points for each team, no access to other departments or blocks/floors. Each R&D team split so that half are in and half are at home at any particular time. Orders are drying-up as our customer's production plants slow-down or switch to producing increased retail products....
Quite what am going to be doing over the next few weeks is anybody's guess. I may ask for some unpaid leave....

Been off work since Jan 23rd. Not due to go back until April 20th and then it’ll be in stages. I don’t think I’ll be teaching any classes until mid-May at the earliest, 4 months.

Is that another way of saying "herd immunity"?, which, various "experts" are telling us doesn't work/exist?

Oh and I actually watched news on TV at my parents house and was shocked to see an appeal for people not to dial 999 and ask for medical advice and discuss coughs and sore throats and to leave it for genuine medical emergencies. Are people really that stupid?
Yes

No. Herd immunity requires a certain percentage of the 'herd' to be immune, to avoid the virus spreading to those who aren't. The people we're discussing who acquired individual immunity to this particular strain of flu are simply the lucky ones who survived.

My son's classmate tested positive, no symptoms though.
