Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted March 18, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted March 18, 2020 That was my son dropped me off at Iceland and waited for me, 09.00 to 11.00 OAP's only, security at the door turning people away who had no proof of identity, got 2 packs of toilet roll, hand wipes and pasta etc, did not go overboard with anything as from what I have heard all the supermarkets will be doing this shortly, what I got today of the essentials will last me and the wife for a good 2 weeks, no panic buying involved. It was handy as the security guard at the door was one of my guards I had when I was working, seen it was me, laughed and said "Hello you old bastard, I know how old you are" and let me in.

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted March 18, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted March 18, 2020 https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/4fdc0d03d3a34aa485de1fb0d2650ee0 Interesting timeline tracker for the virus. It makes sense how the spread got the way it did now. That transit slider shows it. What will be interesting once this is all done is how we view travel and safety precautions from clearing aircrafts for landing in other cities. I'd imagine a lot of this could have been avoided had they locked down travel faster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASF 279 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Portugal could go on lockdown, as of 00h00. Don't agree with this whatsoever. People are already following the advice of staying in quarantine, there's no need to shut down the entire country, especially when measures about payment of rents, mortgages, etc haven't been discussed.

Mpache 672 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 It was obvious Brazil and Chile would be at the top. The former for a reckless government and the latter for not listening to the leaders. As for Peru, I reckon it's because of how compact Lima can be. Most of the cases are in the capital after all. Uruguay was at zero cases just a few days ago. Alarming how quickly that has gone up.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted March 18, 2020 Author Subscriber Share Posted March 18, 2020 Don't take the number of confirmed cases as an accurate indicator of how widespread the virus is. Some countries simply aren't testing as much as some others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,640 Posted March 18, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted March 18, 2020 Scotland closing schools from Friday as well. Johnson says a decision on English schools is 'imminent'. If so, that sounds like they'll be announcing closures because keeping them open is a lack of a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
