Many of yesterday’s scenes weren’t repeated today. I’d love him to hold off until Friday.

I'm afraid they were down here.
So many 2nd home and caravan owners they have flocked to Cornwall.
Campsites who have now been told to close has only led to campervans parking up in roads and car parks that are near the sea and beaches.
Locals and councils telling them to piss off home.

What was just announced?
If you’re just joining us, UK PM Boris Johnson has just announced a major ramping up of coronavirus measures.
Here are the major points of his speech:
From tonight, people in Britain will be allowed to leave their homes for only “very limited purposes” - shopping for basic necessities; for one form of exercise a day; for any medical need; and to travel to and from work when “absolutely necessary”
People are warned not to meet friends or family members who they do not live with
Shopping is only permitted for essentials like food and medicine, and people are advised to do it “as little as you can”
Police have powers to enforce the rules, including through fines and dispersing gatherings
All shops selling non-essential goods, such as clothing and electronic stores, are ordered to close
Libraries, playgrounds, outdoor gyms and places of worship are to close
All gatherings of more than two people in public - excluding people you live with - are banned
All social events, including weddings and baptisms are banned
Funerals are not included in the new restrictions
Parks will remain open for exercise but gatherings will be dispersed
Restrictions “under constant review” and will be checked again in three weeks. They will be relaxed “if the evidence shows we are able to”

Medical need paperwork dug out for Boots Pharmacy tomorrow. 
Be prepared.
Be prepared.

So all my suppliers shut and still no help for the self employed
Medical need paperwork dug out for Boots Pharmacy tomorrow.
Be prepared.
This may disperse the queues. Forty outside my local pharmacy this afternoon. Why?
I hope you are staying safe and have local support, given that you have reported respiratory issues previously. A sense of humour keeps up the white blood cell count and exercise elevates the mood. NSC (and individuals on it) am* your friend.
*Power over grammar should be limited during these troubled times, and I am showing the way. Fact.

Good luck to you all in the UK.
We've had just over a week of it here in France.......it's a bit surreal the first few days and then reality settles in and it's not so bad.

Undoubtedly not the most pressing or issues but my car is due an MOT in the next few weeks. If the test centres shut, as it sounds like they will, does that mean I’d be expected not to drive? Surely it will be ok to keep driving (on essential journeys of course) in these extraordinary circumstances.

Oddly enough it was a similar statement last Monday evening by Macron that it finally sunk home to everyone here, the importance of staying at home/away from others. Attitudes changed overnight.
