No that’s the government advice. Only households isolate. In the work place wash your hands and hope for the best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You don’t have to isolate if you’ve been in contact with someone in the workplace, only household... Was checking this after finding out some of my colleagues are in hospital. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Of course it's this lack of critical thinking and deference to those in authority (and I am not claiming it is what is going to happen here or in the US, just that it is a dangerous precedent) that allows dictators to rise and to get their supporters to do unspeakable things on their behalf.

If it was fulfilling a contract I suspect you'd be right but it's internal projects. We're being told it's "critical to the business" that we carry on working so I guess the implication is that if we don't keep working the business fails regardless of what happens with the virus and the economy...

It’s absolutely remarkable isn’t it? Legacy Systems are failing and being replaced. Things there were no money for are having billions thrown at them. Suddenly nearly everyone can work from home rather than commuting to an office and it turns out most jobs aren’t needed and the people on the...

Can I add stopping movement to affected areas sooner. People were still going on holiday in Italy as things kicked off there and it was quite clear what was going to happen.

You would hope this thing causes socialist principles to stay in effect where they are useful but I'm sure the various think tanks will be going full throttle for disaster capitalism.

While there's no doubt various social and cultural reasons for differences between nations I think the main thing is many of the Asian countries were hit hard by SARs and learnt a lot from it.

I think those measures have probably bought us 2-3 weeks but they haven't changed the trajectory like in some Asian countries who were more thorough.

Still at work here and now have a letter to show the police as to why I am on the roads. Don't know if that's the business being cautious or whether they have been advised that the police will be more stringent.
