No not sheffield your safe for now
There is a case here. Cases in Yorkshire not that high though.
I think it's very likely it'll spread around the main two universities to some greater or lesser extent though.

Surlely the best anti dote is for people to help each other ?
Sadly you offer to help someone these days and you get looked at like you're a loony...
The selfish attitude prevails - people buying up more than they need - thinking f you I'm alright - but with a bit of thought they are making it worse...hand sanitizer should be on peoples hands - not stashed away in someone s cupboard for 6 months.
I will be honest the whole thing does concern me - but I am not going loose my dignity and live like some wild animal - fighting my fellow man.

Local lady on Facebook saying when she was in Morrisons there was an American lady trying to fill her basket with as much tissues, hand sanitiser, etc as she could manage. It’s so selfish. I am really starting to despair of society.
People say on here that the western world can't impose restrictions as people used to freedom.
I don't think it's so much that, but UK society so atomised, everything is instant me, me, me. You see this all over society all the time on a much more minor level things.

I quote.
'There's no such thing as society.'
It was a mantra far too many people took on board and you see it in action every day.
Why would this corivid19 out-break make selfish people any less selfish?
I condemn the quoted sentiment, but a whole generation took it as an excuse to let their greed overcome their conscience. We are seeing it at work now.

The historical culture of big handshakes / hugs / cheek kissing in Italy is probably why the thing is spreading so much over there. Add in the fact that a lot of the older generation are the most likely to do all of that stuff, and you get a perfect storm. In Iran, there’s a religious culture of kissing religious objects ( licking them in some cases ) which again explains a lot. I think the cultural differences both explain the discrepancy, and help to explain the lack of such severity in spread elsewhere.

Must have been superfit cyclists!
I work at York St John's, so I guess I've got that to look forward to.
To be honest, I've only seen a small handful of students wearing face masks over the last couple of weeks, and they have tended to be our Asian students. A rumour doing the rounds is that there are a lot of students skipping lectures etc, though I've not seen any stats to back that up.

And why wouldn't they?
The death rate in over the 80's is between 15% and 20%, so at least 80% of them are surviving.

Scotstoun (Glasgow) rugby stadium and leisure centre closed down for deep cleaning, after an athlete that has been using the facilities has been confirmed having the Corona virus.
Meanwhile (this is not a joke!) our own @flyingfifi, to her dismay, has been reported by a panicked colleague as having the virus .
@flyingfifi was tested, she has the common cold
