    Mate, the 'important' people like the PM and prince Charles have been tested, they have it, basically anyone tested has it, that tells you something about how far this spread. Pretty sure I've had it, its been and gone, wasn't much at all for me. Like you though I hope the tests are released asap so we can go back to work. Heard on radio yesterday that the tests are as yet very unreliable, so, we're gonna have to wait I'm afraid until they come up with an accurate enough test.

    Re my post above about my neighbour who was taken into hospital with it, early 50's with no Commodities, just heard she died this morning.

    Not known if it was the CV-19 or something she picked up in the Hospital after admittance that finished her off.

    Be careful and take the advice given seriously.

    Sad story!

    This is not a time to pick up an ailment and go to hospital. If you are then also hit with CV-19 you are in deep trouble.

    In Denmark which has been in lockdown for a little over two weeks, it seems that we have broken the exponential curve of hospitalisations and intensive care + ventilation cases. We are placed in lockdown until April 13. Testing here has been sporadic too so the only figures that are reliable are the hospitalised cases and the number of deaths. Unexpected bonuses from the lock-down have been a 70% decrease in flu cases and a 50% decrease in child hospitalisations because of infections. Home violence is on the rise however.

    Every cloud I suppose. Shame that it will be temporary as none of the measures bringing this about could be sustained, we are far too crowded in UK.

    An Increase in domestic violence is to be expected, but hopefully the victims will be able to deal with this in their own way, then just leave the bodies on the doorstep for collection. I imagine a lot of other criminal activity will be disrupted by our circumstances - burglaries, car crime, the sale of drugs and their transportation across borders, shoplifting(!), they must all be feeling the pinch. I feel so sorry for them.

    Not forgetting the cancelling of the annual crossdressing convention in Croston, which must've been devastating for you.

    Haven't bothered with that one for years, not since Mrs. P wrote off our new car in the floods there back in 2012. Freckleton's FrockFest is a worthy alternative though - it's proximity to Blackpool ensures a good turnout (sorry enrae8, didn't recognise you in that outfit)
