I'm still buying concerts tickets which shows could be cancelled, today I'm getting a ticket to Herman's Hermits September show and if it does get cancelled I've still got a hard copy ticket and promo poster to frame

May seem like a petty thing with of all that we're facing, but is it OK to go to the Gym? What I've read is that it's OK if you sanitize your hands after each time you use equipment and keep a safe distance form people, (Don't to go a work out class). Any opinions on this?

The number of new casesreported on Wednesday in China fell to 26 out of a1.4 billion people.That is down from a park of 15200 on February 12.Apple has also reopened all its stores.Diesnt sound like a pandemic in China
Although it is a blessing in this case, China can revert to draconian measures to enforce quarantine, etc. For all intents & purposes they live under martial law under normal circumstances.

yorkshirestoneconservative estimate 10k infected in UK (chief medical officer). Point been made many times above, you can't measure what hasn't been tested yetQuote

Number of cases
As of 9am on 12 March 2020, 29,764 people have been tested in the UK, of which 29,174 were confirmed negative and 590 were confirmed as positive. Eight patients who tested positive for COVID-19 have died.
- This is for a population of 65million people. Keep your heads screwed on tight.
And now the UK only test people who are already hospitalised, not people with mild symptoms or potentially at early stages. They could be virus bombs out there.
55.000 people at Anfield two days ago. The Athletico-fans straight from a town where it's really spreading.
What is Boris doing exactly?

Our officials are still kinda hush hush about it but apparently we're on the same (crashing) course as Italy. It seems we handled the epidemic just as "well" as our Italian neightbours... therefore the Corona is just about to break big here.

No country with more than a few cases is testing people with mild symptoms. There are not enough test kits, nor laboratory capacity, to check thousands every day.
The idea is to focus on the really ill people - its obvious who they are! Its not like there are drugs to inhibit or cure this virus, when early and wide diagnosis helps cure people.
Perfect data would be helpful to get a full picture, but the only "actual" numbers worth focusing on are how many need hospital treatment; how many need ICU; how many don't make it; and how much hospital and ICU capacity (medical staff and equipment) do we have locally.
The "big events" banning is of course close to all our hearts. The main reason to do it is to stop distracting emergency staff from helping people with this virus - not to reduce it spreading. And all those emergency staff (medics and police especially) will get this virus and be in very short supply.
No events reduces the demand on those fit to work. Same reason the Italians closed ski resorts.

It is absolutely NOT ok to go to the gym.
All activities like gym and other facilities were banned in Norway yesterday, same day the largest gym SATS closed down just hours before the ban.
STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE CORONA by SATS
Your hands are in touch with a lot of equipment in the gym. Your sweat and hand fluids and body sweat and virus will move from one equipment to another, the gym is the perfect place for spreading diseases, just like the magazines in your doctor's office. Then you are close to many others, and you change next to others, you shower, gym is NOT the place to keep open now. All gyms should close as soon as possible, like we got a law for it yesterday in Norway.

A former Health Service boss, Professor John Ashton, in the UK, said today, although he didn't agree with the method, that the plan seemed to be to let the virus spread through the population and concentrate resources on looking after those that got seriously sick - letting the healthy heal and develope immunity themselves - I've got severe emphysema so I'm not sure I like that plan either - we'll see - glad I caught the Stones last year though..............
Yeah, I saw that. Lay low and stay healthy, Eddie.

A two-week break from the gym will actually do your body good.
Go out in the nature, people. Take a brisk walk. Run. Bike. Stay off the gyms and swimming pools (!). A swimming pool is literally a "meat soup", a doctor once told me, as far as infections go.
