Must say I’ve been giving them a wide berth in London. Also haven’t been to my Chinese takeaway in a month which used to be a weekly affair!

I kept a wide berth to be sure.

I'd have viewed them suspiciously too Dave!.

They always do it to me anyway.

Hopefully this will be an eye-opener for them ;)

Myself and most of my team are flying to India week after next. Chap we work with, who hails from Chinese descent but now lives in Brum, fully expects to be stopped upon arrival...

ETA - We're heading east. Their cases are in the south west, apparently.

Gran??? Tough paper round I guess.

I see Italy seems to be coming off the rails slowly but surely. I'm pretty surprised there's been no panic-buying of supplies in this country yet, can only be a matter of time before the tabloids start to stoke that fire right?

Bangladesh is quite worried as they use lots of dodgy Chinese workers for road building and large construction projects.

I believe they have already banned stuff coming in from China but I don’t think they have banned flights yet.

If it hits Bangladesh, I’m gone, the population density is crazy so would spread like a fart in a lift.

Dave!

It hit India a while ago and I’m surprised it’s not spread. You’d think with all the raw sewage that it would literally be the end of a large part of the world.

It’s apparently quite bad in Iran but again the regime is keeping tight lipped about it. Not sure of their hygiene standards though.

They've just postponed 2 Pro 14 rugby matches in Italy that were scheduled for next weekend. Restrictions to events and public gathering's :(

Next week will be pretty interesting - surely some of those families that have returned from Italy during half term will start to show symptoms. Then the panic will begin and I shall watch the world burn atop my perch.

They already have. A couple of schools shut in Cheshire as a result.

I have been told that there is no antibacterial handwash available in Pudsey, or at least the shops some of my more neurotic colleagues went to at lunchtime.

Just wash yer fucking hands you dirty bastards.
