No stay outside & talk to them through the window, or just wave in the break up their day, do not enter the house, the virus does survive for a number of hours on surfaces, don't put them at risk

I'm not planning on it like I said I don't think it's right but he's trying to convince us that's the advice.

This can't be posted enough because it will be exactly what the UK is heading for without some serious action taken

I've just emailed a link to that report to my sister. Her husband is a complete moron and is still saying "it's just the press exaggerating". She told me this morning he's planning to go and visit his 75 year old mother in Norfolk (we all live in Berkshire, so completely unnecessary travel as well as dangerous). He just doesn't get it! If that film evidence doesn't wake him up then nothing will, he really is brain dead.

I know how you feel. My biggest boy was due to graduate nursery in June. He has autism and we already miss out on a lot of things other children get to do, but to think that he won’t get the whole graduation thing is very upsetting. He loves nursery and his teachers, and it’s helped him so much. It’s a big step in your child’s life and we all have memories of finishing nursery and being a “big” boy or girl. I was already worried about him starting primary school, now I just feel sick at the thought of him getting thrown in at the deep end with no preparation, visits etc. He doesn’t cope well with changes. I was crying about it all last night.

My eldest is autistic and I have been thoroughly amazed at how the school help him, honestly they do everything they can to help them, I know all schools are different but my experience ( so far) had been nothing but positive. The school will have a senco worker/teacher. Ask them for their telephone number, email address and keep in contact with them throughout the whole process xx
 
The army are to impose the lockdown in the Lombardy region of Italy..as numbers continue to rise 🙁

Linda Lusardi very ill in hospital with the virus
 
My daughter's school is insisting that both parents need to be key workers and therefore cos my husband isn't one, my daughter can't attend. I didn't particularly want her too but because of both sets of grandparents being in isolation and us both working we are absolutely stuck for childcare 2 days a week. School reckons the whole of town is doing the same cos the gov guidance isn't clear enough 🤷🤷
 
Why are non essential shops like Lush not closing? Theyre offering free bathbombs to NHS workers which is lovely but it would be alot better if they closed and stopped people going in and spreading the virus. That would help the NHS alot more than a bathbomb!
Lets face it, lush and alot of other non essential stores like costa ect can afford to close!

The sky news report from inside Italian hospitals was done on purpose to inform other countries what they are likely to face soon if they don't take action. It's rare that a government would let filming inside a hospital that is on the brink of collapsing. This is a north Italian hospital that is rated far better than the NHS. A hospital in Lewisham is already saying it's struggling to cope.

Warning it's distressing. The thumbnail is a waiting room that's been turned into a makeshift ICU.

This is so difficult to watch. The NHS is struggling without all this, I can’t imagine it coping any better than the Italian healthcare system. The people who are still being blasé about coronavirus need to watch this

yes i believe that all schools are interpruting it in that way.Makes sense to me tbh. They only want the kids in school that absolutely need to be there i.e.both parents needed on the 'frontline' to fight the pandemic. Otherwise, it's safer to have her at home even it means that your employment is the loser as such. Harsh but that's the reality when capacity is stretched and they're trying to save lives.

My aunt is in hospital and tested positive for Covid-19. She’s in isolation and strictly no one is allowed to visit her.

That is how it should be. Her son is with her while they wait on the results, both in masks and him in a green suit next to her. He seemed so upset in his snapchat post.

We've had a death in our local hospital this week and the person infected apparently passed it to other patients on the ward. Hence the covid ward name. I’ve told hubby if I get ill do not take me to that hospital.

Oh I totally understand and I told them that. Worst case I'll stay at home as I earn less than my husband. Until that point though we'll use holiday entitlement where possible.
