Coronavirus outbreak

[marinyork]

A positive confirmed case at my university 50 mins ago. The uni remains open, face to face teaching suspended temporarily on Monday.

That was Westminster bridge at about 13:00 today. I’m not exaggerating all that much either

The government is going to abandon testing apart from the seriously ill in hospital. Suddenly we will be running blind on the scale. Are they crazy?

Anyone remember this film?

In town (Haverfordwest) 3:30 today, much quieter than normal and staff in some shops wearing vinyl gloves.

I am waiting to see if uni is shut down. I reckon it'll be one of the last if it is. One supervisor's admin people is sending out loads of coronavirus stuff. The other lot are rather different.

I went to see the main supevisor, was quiet as it is Friday and many usually vanish anyway. The lecturers thought it a bit carry on up the khyber dinner party until I mentioned sorry I hadn't been around as much to group events as father in hospital with a cough. Oh right...

I am worried about a massive event next week I'm expected to attend. I reckon other unis would have said provisional or pulled it.

I would do whatever I had to do to avoid it. It would be better if it was cancelled.

Just realised that the cancelled Austrian film I was due to see was called
Children of the dead
Had a few other closure notices, looks like some bodies/venues are making their own decisions despite government not publicly calling for closures. Unless the government is giving advice on the quiet in the background

I’m completely lost for words. And that is totally unprecedented. I really have nothing that I can say ( regarding this ). It’s mental. Beyond my comprehension, just completely mental.

I feel very nervous about it. Lots of people in close contact and outsiders who are highly mobile.

Since writing that message there has been a positive test at the university.

No one ( I mean no one as well) has joined this train, at the 3 stations it’s been through, and it was empty to start with. This is like a bad dream. Seriously messed up.

I think many share those feelings.

We really are entering territory we haven't been before in most of our lives so have no touchstone to guide us.

I’ve just reached Winchester. 5 people ( I reckon) have got on. That’s normally a hundred. I’m not exaggerating either.

Do what you need to do, protect vulnerable members of your family.

This is our generations (by which I mean all generations alive right now) Bubonic plague.

 

[Racing roadkill]

A lot more people got off than got on, and I don’t know where they were hiding either
