13 cases in my area 😬. Are they not saying how they got it anymore? If it was from traveling or a known case? I can’t seem to find that information
Surely it would make sense and put people at ease if they were to say cases that were from travelling or human to human passing on

I went to Superdrug this morning (for non-coronavirus related shopping) and noticed there was just a handful of fancy handwashes left. This was just after the doors opened at 10am. I checked three other shops and two had none at all, one had about 5 bottles left. Toilet paper stock and food seems to be okay at least

I’m actually quite concerned now because I don’t live on mainland UK. Stock takes longer to reach us and I can imagine this getting worse as the virus spreads. I don’t want to panic buy but when this is the situation and we don’t know how long it’ll be like this, it feels like the only option
My local home bargains had none, no loo roll either. I’m not stock pilling but with 3 loo’s and the kitchen I need these items!

133 deaths in Italy in 24 hours, unfortunately it is as bad as we thought.

All the people saying don't worry it's just another virus and just like flu need to start taking it seriously now. Italy has 650 people hospitalised and most will probably need respirators, the health secretary said last week we only had 50 spare beds in the UK with respirators.

Two cases in my county now (Dorset) as of today
Family members are in Dorset, the local news says there are cases but nothing listed on the gov website. They seem to update the locations a few days late

Local gym has released a statement saying they have had a case confirmed in Poole.

Really starting to worry now. What does everyone think will actually happen?

I’m still going skiing next week. I won’t get my money back as the FCO aren’t recommending against travel there, and I’m more likely to catch it on my overcrowded commute or at work or at Costa than in a quiet apartment in a ski resort, going on the ski lifts with my big gloves on ⛷
the only change I’m making is taking dettol wipes for the plane 🤷🏻‍♀️
Obviously if things change in the next week I might reconsider. But got to keep living life!

I'm so glad of this thread. I'm sick to the back teeth of all the jokes being posted over on Facebook and people likening it to the flu. It's getting as though anyone who is taking this virus seriously, is open to ridicule and mockery. There are 2 confirmed cases 4 miles from me and people couldn't care less. This virus seems like a lottery depending on how healthy you are, noone can be fully confident they are just going get a few sniffles from it.

Just right. We are still going away in a few weeks. That’s said New Zealand has hardly any cases and we aren’t going to be in a city apart from airport, but even still.
