    Ha, I resemble that remark

    Not so tidy right now though Marco - whilst in self-isolation I've pulled everything out of everywhere and having a good sort out for the charity shop and tip - so it looks like a jumble sale at the moment! When I've downsized/organised somewhat, I'm going to redecorate, buy a few new bits and bobs and put a projector and 120" screen in the front room. So that should keep me busy for a few weeks.

    It'll be tidy when I'm done mind you

    Very risky, given this is an unknown virus.
    UK seems to be going it alone with this strategy.

    Yes, they certainly do. But look on the bright side, you can send it to the USA by aeroplane.

    France have just entered into Stage 3.
    All un-essential shops are now closed. Restaurants, cafes and places of public gathering are closed.

    We could have five weeks of staying at home.

    That includes me and the wife. I have no objection as long as I can still order what I need online, it's a sensible move. No doubt it may get boring, but when one's life is potentially on the line one gets a new perspective. I've been largely self-isolating for weeks anyway.

    After this is over, we will be looking at a different world. All the myriad of tiny businesses, pubs, restaurants, shops and coffee shops, will be struggling after a few weeks and many of them will disappear.

    Not many pubs or pub drinkers left around here.

    The panic buying will end soon. The greedy and selfish can only stockpile so much.
