Chancellor pumping billions into the economy.

The speed with which this virus in moving, and the scale of the responses prompted, is absolutely incredible. It's impossible to keep up.

The world is now going to be on hold for months.

...and all this because of some Chinese people with peculiar dietary habits (or so we're told).

Quite right BB

China now needs compelling to introduce modern animal slaughter and hygiene laws.

Otherwise the eighth Corona virus will evolve and hit us again.

What if cafes are only serving takeaway like subways?

[woofgang]

is this the 7th? why is it called 19?

[woofgang]

takeaways can still open and pubs clubs restaurants can open to sell takeaway

[ChillDoubt]

I’m afraid you won’t hear this scaremongerer commenting, oh no, not I.

[Apc2604]

Thank goodness. That will take people off the streets in towns and cities as well. Also gyms, leisure cenres are to close. In fact anywhere where people go to socialise. Comes into force after they finish tonight.

Has Boris actually made this the Law ,? if so well done although a little too late.

[jim360]

Can't make something like this law in like the space of an hour. It's government instruction/advice, that will presumably be considered part of the emergency powers under the soon-to-be-passed legislation.

[Spicerack]

D'you think they'll close the bars in the HoC.
Including the ones they still smoke in, lol.

[diddlydo]

He should have done this sooner. By all accounts Londoners have been socialising and partying like there's no tomorrow and where has the virus spread particularly quickly - yes, London.

[derek-33]

I'll bet the grabbing lot at supermarkets will still be standing shoulder to shoulder

[gulliver1]

Gawd elp us all , London is on lock down . what will me old china do now ?,

[jno]

you might be right, diddlydo, but I wouldn't bet that everywhere outside London, the British have been abstemiously travelling only between home and church. I'm told some provincials like a drink too.

[ummmm]

Pubs were packed here on the 17th. I guarantee my uncle won't be shutting his pub...
