Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

I did see that cycling one.

I did think they must have been trying to wind someone up and clearly it’s worked. Mega backlash.

Around here I have been sat in the garden today and you could hear plenty of motorbikes out. Popped to Tesco to do a weekly shop and a group of 3 went past.

Clearly they don’t give a ....

Wind up! They should be wound up from the neck.

New York reporting over 600 in 24 hours. Not sure of population size, maybe 9 million?

NYC on it's own would sit behind Italy and ahead of Germany on cases alone, nearly 114k. They're only 5 or 6 hundred deaths behind us. 2017 population was 8.6 million.

Fake news ?
 
Get the feeling that talk of a peak in a week or two is being interpreted by some, possibly many, as meaning the worst will be over and so they can start to get back to normal, so dangerous thinking because nope...sadly very not so I fear.

I was wondering if the air was cleaner/smelt fresher without the 1000s of cars, buses and lorries driving.

It is. There have been a number of NO2 maps showing the difference between this year and last.
Where I live ( equidistant between stansted and Luton) the absence of airplane noise has been really noticeable. Î can't imagine what it must be like in West London.

I’m in London daily, all over from Purley, Croydon through SE, SW, W and the City, the outskirts are quieter on the roads but still busy, the West End & City is very much void of traffic, but plenty of cyclists all over no doubt taking advantage of the quieter roads in their green Lycra ?

People are queuing on high streets, these queues are obviously very long due to distancing, but the worrying things I see, and mainly when I’m cutting through housing estates, is the amount of children & youths out on their own playing and just hanging around.

Most large construction sites in the city are now closed, there’s still a few private large house conversations going on, but I’m noticing they’re slowing closing also, it’s like a ripple effect of the seriousness sinking in, but I’ve not seen large groups of people anywhere in South, West or Central London and I’m in and around it every day.

My son reports same ‘business as usual’ type behaviour in his estate close to Sheffield city centre - kids out and playing as normal and a fair degree of ignorance among some locals of the danger of the coronavirus - as in - I’m a fit healthy guy - what’s the big deal about this bug thing. My son is worried about what’s going to happen in his city.
