Here are a couple of links to Terry's comments.

I guess, that you are missing the point.

In our internet age everybody can say anything.
So this guy Terry Christian says something stupid, some people may agree with his stupid comment and you say that because of that many Remain Voters are happy to keep nursing homes decimated.

If you‘d keep it to that single comment - fine but you did not.

Mulan, Mission Impossble 7, Fast and furious 9, The quiet Place 2, NTTD and Antlers are among the movies that are delayed or put on hold because of Corona. Of course compared to the deaths, suffering and economic problems none of this matters  (other than NTTD, of course)

It amuses me that reading and talking to people, everyone has suddenly become a virusologist! Even here I see one comment here which directly contradicts what a professor of medicine was saying on the TV news only today. I know who I will believe!

So now I'm affected (not infected, thank God).  As a lot of you know, I'm a professor at a mid-size university; and although there have been no cases of coronavirus on our campus, in our town, or even in our part of the state, the school decided to give the students a second week of Spring Break. . .and during that week we'll decide whether or not to make the rest of the semester available online only.  Also during that second week: not only will all us faculty members be on campus, but the dorms will be open, dining facilities and the library will be open, and students can still see faculty for advising!  So the purpose of this is. . .?

A good part of US cruiselines have grounded their entire fleets (with exceptions) for the next 30 - 60 days. Same with many major airlines.

Imo the right decision but it will hurt many of their employees.

My wife is working for a chinese tour operator in Hamburg who is in charge for chinese tourgroups traveling thru Europe.
She is not working since 1st February but is getting paid 60% of her income by the public insurance.
Her colleagues in China (some of them have been locked up in their towns) are much worse off.
They are not working - no pay and their living costs still running.

Never had so many cruise line "deal" emails in my life!!!!

In the search for the 'truth' about this disease, it is very easy to become victim of false rumours or reporting.

I believe we are all personally responsible for our actions, whether this is related to this disease or life in general, so I think it is important that we endeavour to seek out responsible reporting from the proper authorities then make judgements as to what we think is the appropraite action to protect ourselves and our families from infection and not expect to be led by others.

I do not think panic buying of toilet roll to be an appropriate response!

My wife is a caring assistant for the elderly. I believe that she will witness what this disease will do to our elders over the next weeks. For my part, I have this also in mind as I feel it is my responsibility to make sure I am not responsible for passing any infection to her which she will then pass to the elders. This was my position before the coronavirus anyway, to me it is just sensible to shield the vulnerable from disease.

It looks like Sweden and the UK have less strict measures against Corona than the rest of Europe. Let's hope it works out for the best for everyone.

Schools, Kindergarten etc are all closed here from Monday.

After the announcement was made on friday afternoon, shops were crowded with people and today, 30% of all goods were sold out.

We did not buy anything extra yet, but we are generally well stocked up in our basement.

I got tested on Wednesday.  It's Saturday night and I STILL haven't gotten my results yet to know if I have it or not.  This is patently ridiculous.

You'll be fine. And I read somewhere that analyzing the tests takes many days.
