The above was cut and pasted from a Facebook feed. We should not be in denial any longer.

You can see it unfolding and yet we still do nothing.

In a months time when we are as bad as Italy we will be saying we should have locked everything down in February.

Too late now anyway, Italy have been locked down a week or 2 yet still cases soar daily. They are already infected heavily, incubation period. That's what we are in now.

No i don't agree.
I reckon the delay we have now is right to allow the up surge and knock on effect on the health service to happen at the right time.
It's certainly going to happen, but to be honest im looking at the current situation as given notice, and will be out cracking through the work, fuelling the van regularly, making sure my equipment supplies are enough to see me through for several months etc.

We will shut the door after the horse has bolted as we always do.  The current situation has not been over dramatised and it is only just starting. Beyond me, why we are sitting back and waiting the inevitable.

I'm worried how I'm going to pay my staff

[Spruce]

I have to 3 employees not sure if complete lock down means nobody can work in all industries. How can they monitor people movement

in italy i understand you need a letter to say you have an official authorisation to say you can leave your house. you are able to get a letter if you need to go to the shops for food, health reasons, or certain jobs. i dont think window cleaning jobs will be a priority job for them, although there might be a chance we can get it saying we are a cleaning company. esp if we call it commercial cleaning. if you are out of your house without a letter you receive an on the spot fine from police

I dont think its quite that severe in Italy. Theyre practising social distancing. bars are open, so people can socialise but you have to keep a distance. The bars etc are closing in accordance witha curfew set at 6pm. I believe.

So does the virus only come out at night?

Off course its been over dramatised, it fails to mention the differences between Italy and here and mentions that younger people are now being hospitalised by it to hype up the fear factor, young people with underlying health conditions being hospitalised by this is nothing new.

  I live in Galway Ireland, Bars & clubs have been told they have to close for the next couple of weeks until further notice,
 Restaurants & cafes are following suit, there is talk there will be a lockdown soon, they are taking it very seriously here.

I was in Galway a few years back and most pubs had nobody in them, not a lot of people knocking about either, would they even notice a lockdown ?lol

Haha just seen a vid on facebook (not allowing me to share on here).  Shows italy, ireland and other countries taking decisive action and the final part shows a brit smiling washing his hands!!

Also chatting with a group today about it at school. My kids have come down with a cold over the wknd, snozly noses. So i phoned the school to see what their policy is at mo (im convinced just a cold as they have no other symptoms).  Bring them to school if u feel its just a cold and we will monitor for now as we haven't been given any specific guidelines as yet, is what i got told.

Anyway, talking to a group and they were saying that there is speculation that china started this off to trial it and see the results (bio war fare).
Thats the first Ive heard of that!   
(I bet the conspiracy nerds are enjoyijg all of this, from.a certain point of view)

We need to think joined up. There will be a consequence and knock on effect to every aspect of everyones lives. How severe depends upon what actions we take now.  In much the same way as global warming but this is virtually instant and getting worse by the day. In a matter of weeks vital NHS services will fail. Staff sick / self isolating, people dying not only from virus but conditions and injuries they would have been successfully treated for prior to the corona virus. Not to mention all other core essential services, supply chains etc.

In other news, the sun is shining  !

Just called an old people’s home I do to confirm my visit tomorrow.

Not a jot of hesitation from the manager.

I’ll be on the glass there at 08:00 tomorrow morning.

What actions? you keep thinking there are actions we should be taking and aren't, watch todays Vine show on demand, they had a expert/doctor on it who answered questions and explained the real reason why our actions are different to that of other countries, at this moment in time we are doing all that we can, we need to stop listening to fear mongering idiots on social media talking nonsense.

One of us will be right and I hope it's you.

Its just about being sensible and understanding how easy it is to spread germs, thats it as far as im concerned.
For us, we carry quite a bit of water and so washing our hands n faces etc shouldnt be an issue. Be weary of what you touch and stay safe and sensible when working. After that, what shall be will be

[Stoots]

Theres nothing they can do to stop it, they can slow it they can divert it.

Bit like water, it's going to find a way to flow regardless. And if you contain it then as soon as you release it, it flows again.

Made than analogy up, quite good that eh.

[nathankaye]

A mate of mine cleans pubs n restaurants and hes just literally messaged me saying its now starting to affect his work as it affects theirs.
Im glad I dont have commercial work as it must be more of a worry to some than it is for us residential workers

Why ? my outcome will be the same as yours, I just don't think at this moment in time there is anything more/extra we can do to stop it.

In a nutshell that's it, they're hoping they can slow it down/spread it out to stop the NHS from going into a complete meltdown,
according to the experts 85% of us will get it at some stage.
