MIL's nursing home has limited visiting hours - good move as you don't want visitors coming and going all hours at present.

I work at York St John's, so I guess I've got that to look forward to.:sad:

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.

There's a very large chinese intake at one of the universities. Many are concentrated in close proximity in the same building and many of residential blocks (which aren't that far separated). Far more people living in the city centre now in close proximity now. Additionally a lot of wealth, a lot of travel, a lot of Iranian, Italian and any country that could possibly have large outbreaks coming and going. Links with industry, people who travel coming and going. Additionally swine flu swept around the student population easily in 2009, although that was very different to this coronavirus that particularly affects people over 40.

I have an appointment with audiology at Oban hospital on the 18th of this month. I have to travel on a ferry with hundreds of passengers unless all frightened off and hospitals are dangerous places. I am probably doomed as I am in a very vulnerable age group. My paperwork is in order but my sheds have not yet been cleared of rubbish. Oh dear.

My neighbours, both in late 60s are heading off tomorrow on a 3 week cruise.
It was due to go to India, Sri Lankan and SE Asia. But it’s ow doing Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Oman, and various stops in India.
They were offered a full refund but decided to go anyway.
Not sure I would have gone. The risk of being stuck on a quarantined boat is too high.
I wonder what they will return to?

Quick arithmetic suggests Lombardia being shut off totally from the rest of Italy and provinces in Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Piemonte and Marche is a quarter of the Italian population has been shut off totally from the other three quarters.
