    To be fair, I can see that there is a fine line to draw between taking action and inducing panic/rebellion in the population. Brits don’t generally take well to being told what to do en masse, we have a contrary streak to the national character. As much as it pains me to say it, Piers Morgan is probably right to say we need to invoke a Dunkirk spirit and get us all cheerfully making do, putting the kettle on and helping others.

    Italy cocked up big time when the travel restrictions where leaked and thousands left areas in order to get home before the restrictions could be put in place.
    Each country is doing it's own thing as far as I can see, but I think that a big lesson will be learnt from the way Italy got it wrong. I believe that the government wants the virus to be in the general population so that any period of isolation is over quickly. Its a bit like the old school of thought that made Mothers put children in with ones who had Chicken Pox, in order to get catch it. It made sense at the time. I think that it will be another two weeks before hospitals will start to cancel none urgent ops, schools will close and sports events cancelled.

    The flu vaccine given each year protects against the strains of flu which have been predicted will be the most problematic for the upcoming “flu season”.

    There are four different types of flu each containing many different strains. One vaccine does not fit all. Two of the flu types cannot be vaccinated against.

    It was a joke re the pedantic reference to it not being a gel sanitizer.

    I dunno, there's a lot of wealthy people attending Cheltenham this week. You'd have thought they'd have been given the nod to not attend?

    There'll be even more less wealthy ones leaving, along with some happy bookies.

    I asked “How”, not “Why”.

    I also understand, & support, the board ban on having no political o religious discussions but in this case everything to do with the reporting, containment & eradication of this virus is Politically led. Therefore I don’t understand how any posts other than “Poor old Tom Hanks” ones can be posted.

    Surely your post would have been fine without adding "you get what you vote for".

    The way it’s handled by the Government that was voted in does. The two walk hand in hand.
