Don't you just believe it and no sign of it stopping anytime soon. We fly back today and I've been up all times of day/night for past 8 days trying everywhere to get home delivery/click and collect but not a bit. Farm shop has closed down too due to complete overload. We've got no food in our...

I assume many of us believe this could have been handled better but much they are having to do is totally on the hoof, everything is unprecedented and with the most enormous ramifications Cut them some slack .... I can hear my ex boss 'be part of the solution and not add to the problem'. Yes...

We're heading home today and I have been trying to order home delivery or click and collect for the past week with no success. I'm not sure what is going to change to allow us to get anything We've got no food at all in the house so if the kebab shop is closed we're in deep s**t

You are correct I was using the percentages that are being used in the graph put up by Swansman which show the percentages as a proportion of all cases. New cases relative to previous days new cases are indeed down by c50% (the graph below is yesterday, today the total is 63,927) Whichever way...

New cases up by 8% which is continuing a short but fairly steep downward trend. The BBC reporting was a disgrace I think .... there was virtually no focus on the new cases but simply on the deaths and a comment along the lines that their measures were still not working

Let's pray that this isn't just an anomaly and that it's the start of some downward trend, however gradual. Got to have something to hang on to I'm sure our Gov't are all over these numbers and if they do indeed begin to improve, then they swiftly put us into lockdown so that we might follow...

Totally expected. I could be entirely wrong but I think there is something in their constitution that this sort of emergency measure can only run for 15 days at a time. Much of what I hear (on forums and chat groups) is that the lockdown will run well into May. New cases in the islands are...

I can't speak for other parts but from my pretty good vantage point here it has all be very well respected. Indeed the only ones that were ignoring the advice were quite obviously tourists and most of those are Brits. Since going into lockdown the streets have been all but deserted. We are...

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery

I'm afraid I don't share your confidence .... can't see them being able to get anything on shelves before it instantly disappears. I don't have any answers beyond some sort of full on rationing, at least until the public have figured out that normal supplies can be maintained

I don't know how. They can say 'just one of everything' but it'll just mean people going in and out multiple times. It really is down to 'us' .... but (like you I assume) I have zero confidence that will happen. Leopard's don't change their spots and I suspect this is much more than a small...

........ and will continue to do so unless they are stopped somehow

Exactly ... I am due back home Tuesday and not a jot of food in the house and bothered that I'm not going to get any. Booked a delivery slot two weeks ago for next Friday so might have to tough it for 3 days but worried that the driver will knock on my door with a can of shaving gel and a...

I'm wondering how that works elsewhere. We have been in lockdown for nearly a week and everything is orderly and shelves very well stocked. They only let a few into the shop at a time, give you gloves on entry. The queues outside (fairly short) are well controlled and everyone keeps their...

If you love Yahtzee try Rummikub

With the vast majority of work here in or supporting tourism her fear (and some of mine I guess) is that as this thing takes hold then there could be a change in behaviour. That's why we made the decision a week ago to come home. Don't think we can stall it much longer as 'repatriation' flights...

Wonderful. We are supposed to be returning home next Tuesday and not a bit of food in house. Got a delivery set up for following Monday but not confident that much will show up. I might try and persuade Mrs to stay here. We might be in lockdown but people are generally behaving well and food...

True, but what that graph fails to show is recovered cases. Probably as much as half of cases still to conclude so the death rate (as shown there) will increase

Absolutely agree that .... pretty well any semi sensible person was sat on the outside trying to figure out why Lombardy wasn't shut down at least 3 weeks before it was You didn't miss any humour, I wish you did :thumbsup:

Accepted. I didn't take the original comment to be about Asia in general and certainly not Singapore where the statement was made. But I suspect there are other areas within Asia (and elsewhere) that are similarly uncontrolled and I very much hope that once the dust settles a lot of that will...
