They have the oldest population in Europe so I guess they're more vulnerable.

1 case my city but discovered when the bloke travelled to China..
They have apparently deepcleaned office where he worked.
Seen lots Asian people wearing masks in city centre I assume international students as 2 universities taking precautions.
Stick in local supermarkets odd.
We can get antibacterial hand wash but not gel.
Pound shop and lidls had toiliet roll
Morrisons did not.
Morrisons taken battering more than others.
Aldis ran low on eggs the other day.
Lilds was low on few things I normally buy like chopped tomatoes.
Today went b&m got 4 packs bagels as reduced and froze.
2 tins Campbell condense soup great with pasta.
Bachelors packet mac cheese.
Some packet mixes.
I haven't actively stockpiled but have brought and reduced meat and bread I saw this week and froze.
I did buy few extra tins bog roll and value pasta just in case.
Seeing how it goes this week before I buy few extra medicines booze milk bread coffee sugar and soft drinks.
I feel confident I have 3 weeks worth of meals in.
What my kids would struggle with is lack of snacks.

Also they are mainly Catholic so tend to go to church several times per week so will have all been congregated together.
Good thinking. I didn't even think about that.
Thanks I thourght just be because they big international tourism.
Eldest and rest if her school trip party all well they got back from Italy on the 22nd of Feb. 1 got tested and was negative.
They were 80 miles away from confirmed case.
Travel company have reassured the school and school have said they need to come in so they been back 15 days.
I was walking round asdas today and a woman coughed without covering her mouth. Its people like this who make it worse for others!
I was wondering about Ramadan earlier, it's starts near the end of April and there is nightly congregational prayers in most mosques. I wonder if there is a drop in numbers for Friday prayers or people travelling for Eid celebrations in May.
There's a case in my local big town, and my small town (where I live) has had the herds of panic buyers! Shop shelves are bare, the loo roll is gone!!
Luckily I bought a massive pack a couple of weeks ago and I live alone so I have plenty!

You can poop to your hearts content
There's been a church closed for a deep clean near here
I have just looked in my cupboard. Lentils, rice, tinned tomatoes,tins of beans and soup. About 20 tins altogether. 3 bags of pasta, 3 jars of pesto. And oddments. My freezer is tiny, I live alone and it was adequate before. 
I don’t eat much bread and milk makes me spotty. Enough for about a month, if I eke out. I have cat food and litter. Doing an online shop tomorrow. Pension day is Monday.

If I didn't have kids I'd be fine with self-isolation. Without sounding like a dooms-dayer if things get really bad I can totally envisage local communities stepping-up by way of creating local resource sharing street by street. You could easily create a resource-exchange system without requiring human contact..."Swap me your loo roll for my rice" kinda thing (all hosed down with anti-bac) or just leaving unwanted goods at the top of the road.I have just looked in my cupboard.

You can bet your bottom dollar there might soon be thousands of bored pple in self-isolation that will create bleeping ingenious ways to keep communities going and I know it's sad but I am here for that kind of tit!! Can you imagine what might be achieved if we focus some of our greatest minds on these priorities as opposed to their habitiual corporate careers? We could change lives!
Despite what pple might sometimes want you to believe, history shows that there is a tit tonne of pple out there who will want to help others. I am a total do-gooder myself!

Coronavirus: One of the first British sufferers describes his ordeal
Connor Reed was working in China late last year when he caught the virus that would come to be known as COVID-19.
I went to a shopping centre today that is usually packed at the weekend, it was dead, the multi-storey car park was empty.While everybody is self isolating I will be able to do my regular wkend shop in peace and quiet.

Blow for Covid-19 couple hoping to return home from Japan
The couple need three negative test results before they can leave the hospital.

Out of interest, how much has everyone bought?
I’ve got an extra 2 packs of loo roll and extra 2 soaps (kitchen and bathroom) but that’s all. I’m doing a food shop as normal tomorrow and will get some extra rice and pasta, frozen veg, passata and herbs/spices.
concerned with some folk bulk buying alllll the soap/hand gel and others having NONE. Isn’t this worse for all of us in society?
surely all of us having access to soap and practicing decent hygiene is more effective than half the population having no soap/ hand gel and the other half with huge pantry’s full of everything and dosing with hand sanitiser constantly?
ps people and the not washing their hands after the loo are HORRIFIC.
