Oh yeah. Well, whatever the appropriate currency is. Regardless, I stand by my point inspite of my basic ignorance of currency.

Ah yes, prioritisation. Makes sense. The three wise men protocol was thought up for Swine flu a few years back. Wasn’t used then either If I recall.

Common sense or ignorance? Chief medical officer defends U.K. strategy.

All senior managers have been asked to produce a BCP plan in 24 hours at my place but apparently it's NOTHING to do with Coronavirus ..... no siree ...... he says working from home !!!!

It's fairly self evident we're not near the level of Italy yet, but all government messaging seems to suggest that's where this is heading in the next few weeks. On that basis, I still cannot quite fathom why we wait to move to delay phase.
When they warn those in Florida a massive hurricane is coming, they dont wait till its arrived to start boarding the house and getting out the sandbags, they act in advance.
As someone else said, there's a lot of mixed messaging. This things coming, it's going to sweep fast, it's 10x more deadly than flu, but we're not going to act yet.

That is a bit scary. I know it's 'cool' to be unbothered by all this and as far as I know I'm in fine health, but it's my elderly parents I'm concerned about.
Likewise - both my parents are in their late 70's and my mum has a form of Parkinsons. My Dad is frail from looking after her. My brother has MS. It's all a worry about how they will deal with it even if I deliver goods to all of them ..... which is quite difficult to fit around work ..... and to get some goods thanks to stockpiling idiots !
Worried for parents and inlaws in late eighties. A little for myself at 64 but very pleased for my children and grandchildren that the young are less likely to be affected.

I don't think it's mixed messages (well not from those who know what they're talking about). It's fairly straightforward.
There will be new measures introduced, closing schools, sporting events, asking people to stay at home etc, but they are trying to time it for maximum effect in order to minimise (or 'level out') the impact on the NHS. If you close everything too early, people will start going out, shopping, kids playing together etc, after a short while and this could coincide with the peak of infection. When the infection is likely to peak, that is the time you want the measures to be having maximum effect.
We all know it's going to spread around the UK and be extremely worrying for high risk groups, so it's now about trying to time the measures to try and stop the NHS becoming completely overwhelmed.
I'm just hoping that if i get it, it's before July when I become high risk

Zero chance of Glastonbury happening imo. Would imagine festivals towards the back end of summer have a chance of still happening.

Weird how these are always from a second hand source and not the expert themselves?
I would also suggest the ECB have picked a bad summer to launch The Hundred
