Will Coronavirus lead to the cancellation of Glastonbury?

[Spindles]

Ugly scenes here.  Just been to collect my prescription (GPs are now closed to all face to face appointments from today, not sure if that's announced yet) and the ladies at the chemist were close to tears.  Today they've had people fighting inside the chemist and had to get the police in, they were very shaken up and I'm very sad that they are having to go through this.

 

Please be civil people, please be nice to each other, please don't make this worse than it has to be.  If you think that punching a woman in her 60s in the face because you can't buy hand sanitiser is a reasonable action I don't want to share a planet with you.

My boss and majority of my team are in Barcelona. They have been working from home this week and been told that the office is closed for the next 2 weeks so continue working from home.

Yup, I've changed from thinking this won't change a thing to thinking it's now slightly more than likely that glasto will be cancelled this year. Hope I'm wrong. Had tickets for sonar, no chance that's happening now imo.

Well we can add that to the pile labelled "fucking dreadful"

I've read conflicting things-- one article said the virus seems to really struggle in temps of around 26 or 27 degrees and over, another article said that temperature doesn't seem to make much difference (unlike the normal flu virus), so not sure what to believe!

If only Covid-19 was selective.

[Spindles]

Yeah, I'm proper upset to be honest.  These ladies don't need to be going through this.

I would suggest to avoid Spain for now. It will get pretty bad. 

I think everywhere will be pretty bad soon so it might not make too much difference in a few weeks.

No one does.

In much the same way that the virus is the greatest risk to those with underlying health problems, so the panicking and shitty behaviour is most affecting those with underlying being a c**t problems.

It's worrying that people are already like that at this stage before things have begun in earnest - what will they be like a month into this?!

This is it - a lot who would behave like that are probably still not taking it seriously...

Scotland with a big jump of 24 cases (60). Possibly indicative of a large jump for the UK.

The latest UK total is expected to be announced soon."

Think that’s more to prevent her predecessor striking again than anything to do with Corona.

Not your best work, but still better than anything you stick on the weather thread
