Stop isn't the right word, the temperature should slow down the spread if it is like flu. Looking at the numbers, this seems to be the case, but given it is new, we don't really know for sure.

Woodsey getting used to knocking out big five figures a day on the pension at the minute. Better cash it in woodsey and get the remainer spent. In happier news petrol will be sub £1 a litre at this rate soon
Fk that actually thinking of doubling down if it keeps getting battered!
Definitely getting battered right now.
I have nothing left to double down with.
Same here actually but if I did I would!

This best fits my current view, from Andrew Lillico on Twitter,
“If the govt thinks a) almost everyone getting CV eventually is near-inevitable; & b) containment will be v successful the 1st time used, an obvious drawback of too early containment cld be the risk of acting before enough people had it. You'd want lots to get it, but not too many”
We have to flatten the curve so hospitals cope as well as possible, keep the death rate to 1% not 3-5%.
There won’t be a vaccine for 7 billion people for at least 2 years if not longer.
The virus will pass through the population over 3 to 4 months rather than 1 month and hope that gives us immunity until a vaccine can be made.
Otherwise we all stay inside like China, hide from the virus but can’t get out until 2 years time when a vaccine is ready.

All sent home from work today. Plan is for all non essential staff to work from home until further notice.
Bloody hate working from home, go stir crazy.

So the Government says if you feel ill you should self-isolate. Well if people are doing that how are they confirming new cases.
I feel rough today, so if I self-isolate and I'm lucky enough to recover, I won't know if I had it or not.

Came into London on British Rail & Tube today. A lot less busy than usual, overlaid with a subdued atmosphere. Read the article that Doobs linked on the way in, and began to think this might be my last trip to the smoke for awhile. In fact there may not be a choice, since I heard a rumor that the Tube’s going to be shut down (possibly fake news, ofc).
Met a mate at a pub near Victoria station for beers & lunch: earily quiet. Now I’m in the Hippodrome playing cash, and they’ve only just opened a third table: very slow. Never seen anything quite like it, tbh. Hate to concede defeat to this thing, but nothing other than restricted contact makes any sense till it’s over.
Good luck to all Blondes.

another 8% off the pensions today. Everyone will be skint this time next week. betfair lost 15% of its value today which is pretty brutal. Betway got a lot to answer for. Don't think it's just the virus causing this today. Online poker/casinos are goiing to boom this summer. Bookies should prefer that as the income is gtd and has no swings or variance like pricing sporting events. Really surprised the shares have fallen this far. People are going to be bored shitless sitting at home for weeks on end on their machines.

Hills are now worth £800m market cap wise as a company. How the mighty have fallen. Denise nearly paid herself that in the last 2 years in salary and divi's. Quite amazing.

I feel rough today, so if I self-isolate and I'm lucky enough to recover, I won't know if I had it or not.
It's if you have a fever or a persistent cough - so not exactly just if you feel ill.
There will be many, many people who don't get counted in the official figures because they just had mild symptoms (or no symptoms) and didn't even necessarily think it wasn't just a cold.
But if you feel ill enough to think you might need a doctor then you need to call 111 and if they think it's necessary they will refer you for a test.
Self isolating by itself doesn't really make a difference - if you were ill enough to phone 111 then it wouldn't matter if you were at work or not, and if you were they'd tell you to self isolate.

Three Leicester players got it. Arteta got it.
Be surprised if there's much footy this weekend.
