All schools in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are to close from Friday*, until further notice, not to protect children who seem to be more or less immune to Covid-19 but to slow down the spread to the more vulnerable in society.

*Except for children of key workers such as health care, police, delivery drivers and children who are vulnerable or have social workers, etc.

On an aside, I have not been panic buying anything as I usually get small amounts every day or two but when I went out to get some chicken yesterday, there was none and today I visited 1 high street supermarket and 2 different asian supermarkets, all had no onions at all unless you can carry 20kg sacks (now priced at

My Daughter went into Bookers today, they had no chicken, they were also checking card holders identity, seems account holders are lending their cards out, also there was a fight in there today and at Iceland in Horley.

We went to Waitrose to get some milk which they had loads of many shelves empty but it was very civilised, lets hope that trend spreads.

A franchise of 10 Gastro Pubs around here have closed as of today until further notice, a local Turkish Restaurant is now doing home deliveries, i feel a lot of people will go the take away route rather than eat out so any restaurants that can gear up for that will stand more of a chance,
