Coronavirus outbreak

[Smudge]

Now selling stuff for a massive price is one thing. But risking life to make money that’s quite another.
Crime at it’s lowest

What a daffodil...remanded until 20 April...hopefully he'll have to wait on remand for a few years waiting for a court date

Seeing as he's been remanded, he may get exposed to the Coronavirus in prison. I reckon its going to go around like wildfire in there.
I've already read reports prisoners aren't reporting any symptoms they get, for fear of being isolated in their cells.

This theme cropped up in the comments sections of newspapers and elsewhere .
"Surely people need to know if someone living in their area has coronavirus"?
Armed with that knowledge what is it that these people would do that they should already be doing anyway?

Any of our France-based correspondents seen anything of this?

Edit to add: if true, could be an indicator for increased domestic restrictions similar to Italy/France/Spain?

Grim to think of it. There was some unrest in Italian prisons after restrictions on visiting.
How will the illegal drugs be smuggled in if visiting is limited? I have visited prisons and my experience was of a canteen setting with tables arranged about 8 foot apart. No screens or segregation.

Pretty normal Saturday round here,shops open.People out and about.
Full lockdown next week looking more likely I think.Im not convinced people will and are staying indoors and self isolating.

I guess it would have an impact on drugs coming in through visits, but obviously not the only way drugs get in. They'll always get smuggled in somehow.

This is going the rounds be good if it gets plenty of support. It’s not a lot to ask

That's madness. Our site in N. Wales is quiet and we're down to close the van, having only opened it last week. There is stuff you need to do, like remove anything from the fridge freezer, shut off gas/water etc. Very quiet on the roads, very few folk out of their vans.

Have you decided to close the van @fossyant or have the owners closed site?

I haven't opened mine yet because I can't decide if I ought to be using it or not.

An email - before last Friday - from the owners of my site said they are closed to tourers, but still open to owners of statics.

The on site pub/restaurant must now be shut, but I didn't use that much anyway.

It's more that they want to do something they should not do, I fear. Coronavirus lynchings ahoy

I gather from others (don't know, because we're staying out of the way) that Sheffield city centre was quite a bit quieter than normal - I've seen a couple of photos which suggest this could be the case, but of course it defeats the object of the exercise if people just congregate elsewhere.

I suspect the controls will get tighter this coming week, but it's only my guess.

It was like that at my local Morrisons. School's out atmosphere and totally impossible to keep a metre away from other people.

Ah yes, I did wonder. The Daily Express created paedofinder general lives on.

Variable. When I went out tonight there was a lot of traffic on the road, more than normal.

Heard reports from friends that live in bits of town looking out of their houses that places were very busy. A lot of intra-family interactions.
