Bumped into my (very annoying) neighbour leaving the flat today and she was wearing a face mask, bloody hell

You are still a winner, good work 😀

I would hope anyone who does actually eat shit does wear one.

The punctuation police will be all over that comment!  Eat shit.   Eat, shit !  Two very different statements. 

anyway, in space no one can hear you fart

Are people really panic buying? 
 

I’m not sure anyone in Cornwall has really noticed.  
 

Going to the shop soon so will do some shelf emptiness research.

If they didn't cancel for foot and mouth then they won't cancel for this.

There was someone walking through Manchester city centre with a full face respirator something like this one yesterday. My first reaction was to laugh. Then I thought, damn, does he know something I don’t....

Don't worry. Simple soap and water kills it.

Ah shite. I meant to go and do my panic shop last week before the panic. 

Wait until the panic is over. It'll be a lot quieter for you to do your own panic buying and there might be some bargains by then

Sssssh. I know,  but dont take the thrill out of being a successful panic buyer and walking out the shop, chest out, head held high, with the last pack of sanitiser! 

[Crazyfool01]

Should I start posting some empty shelves photos to enable people to know exactly what items they should be panic buying ?

Yep. Half Marathon of tomorrow in Paris suspended. 

Meanwhile in Spain they don't care with 50 cases and the government saying that is not necessary to ban big public events at this point... 🤨 The "fallas" celebration of Valencia (one of the biggest of the year) start tomorrow and they are hundreds of thousands.

I work and live in West Cornwall and no where has hand sanitizer a left. A local pound store said one customer bought 40 bottles the other day. Apparently the schools are telling students to bring hand sanitizers in as a few have just returned from ski trips to Italy

I am volunteering at Bristol Jazz festival and going to Bristol Ritual Union in 4 weeks time, all held at different venues. It will be interesting to see wha advice I will be given.

In response to 16 news cases. Maybe this is an indicator the moment UK government will step up it's actions

News reporting that France has banned gatherings of more than 5 thousand people - I guess that puts an end to this year’s  6 Nations rugby 🙁

I’m having problems here ... is a symptom of this virus seeing multiple efest posts the same ?
