Hard to verify, but current reports (I take an interest on what goes on in Italy) suggest that it's spread throughout northern Italy and parts of central Italy over the weekend and today in particular. The updates at the moment seem to parallel ones in Iran.

Should it come to our shores in any great extent, I'm fairly sure I'll come into contact with the virus quickly with working at a Uni. We would need to be careful as my son is Type 1, although fit and healthy (we'd have to watch blood sugars over night), but this would finish off my MIL - she was rather poorly when the coughs went round at Christmas. - TBH, we all stayed away from her when we were all ill, but she picked up a virus anyway.

Hello decadence
We don't need them as much as China does. It's a good Christian thing to help a colleague in need (parable of the Good Samaritan).UK sends 650,000 gloves, wipes and gowns to China to fight Coronavirus crisis.

Plus, if we prevent it spreading in China, it is far less likely to impact here.

We were looking to book a week's holiday in Lake Garda in April.
My wife has decided there's no need for us to take the risk with northern Italy, and I must admit to being quite relieved.
Garda can wait, Cornwall here we come!

China has had more than 70,000 cases and more than 2,000 deaths and these numbers are increasing every day. It is incredibly short of essentials that help to minimise this increaseUK sends 650,000 gloves, wipes and gowns to China to fight Coronavirus crisis.

And you're thinking we should hang onto the masks so that UK dentists don't run out?
Aren't people dying in China more important than getting a scale and polish here?

Anyone any idea why italy seems so high on the scale?
I rather doubt it's due much to what some italian bloke said on channel 4 news, that they are are a "florid" (his phrase,) folk who touch kiss hug more than other folks.
Still waiting for more info on nickyboy's tube gloves.

Dunno why Italy. The Lombardy region has the strongest commercial ties in Italy with China but no more so than Germany or France. There must be something. Like the S Korean church. I was chatting with friends in SK and they told me the SK church has a sister church in.....Wuhan.
Re gloves, any normal gloves will do. The main reason for wearing them is to stop you touching your mouth with your fingers. Mrs N is off to London on Sunday and she will just wear regular gloves on the tube.

Bloody 'ell. I'm bored as it is. More time in the gym I think.
*edit* schools shut until 20/4. That's a 3 month shutdown.
