I've a cousin who works for the NHS and he says the general thinking is that it will peak in May then disappear as fast as it appeared. Hope you are all well and lets hope it is sooner rather than later that we see an end to it.
Take care

I think it's going to be really big in larger cities. It would be better to come in waves in different locations - as long as people don't move around too much, or they move in a controlled way. That way - assuming it is going to peak fairly high - the services in those cities wouldn't be completely overloaded. Knowledge and experience as it moves across the country might also be useful, and some staff could perhaps be redeployed - though it might be better if they just passed on their knowledge, rather than physically moving.

It would be good if it did just fizzle out, but I fear it's not going to. The other major concerns are whether it will come back again, and whether humans will build up any sort of immunity. If we do build up immunity, it might be manageable in a year or two or even less, but if we don't and it mutates it could be with us for years.

I would like that to be the case, but can't help but think it is wishful thinking/spin.

I can't see how a virus will just disappear. I am not a biologist, but would expect that most of the population would need to be infected and gain immunity (or not) before we see an end to this.

My local Asian corner shop has plenty of milk, bread, tinned food, etc. Not sure if the owners are Muslim though, as they also sell alcohol there.

Smart move, Baz. Best places to use just now, well away from the madness of supermarkets!

Aside from our local dairy, we're also doing our shopping at our local farm shop, which is 10 mins down the road, and offers a superb selection of all sorts of things:

Yes - we have a farm shop here, but I haven't had a chance to look in there since I got back.

[Marco]

You should check it out. Chances are the shopping experience will be rather more relaxed, with little (if any) shortage of fresh produce/stocks in general, as most of it will be their own/local, so they're not reliant on stuff being delivered

Should also be relatively free of panic-buying oiks!

We do use it for fruit and veg (though we also have an equally good greengrocer, which we tend to use more often), but haven't tried the Farm Shop since the outbreak, as I've been in London.
