Given how cramped we are here in the UK it’s inevitable and when it happens the spread I would imagine will be very rapid.
If I read between the lines on policy - it’s my belief the UK government policy is rather similar to managing a wild forest fire i.e. let it run and actively burn sections of society yourself.
This makes for sobering reading this morning. You are only valuable to society if you are not a burden

Hey Japan just shut down all schools nationwide. That should tell you something. Make a run to the bank if you can.

0-12 years old no fatalities
But it is thought that the children are the spreaders, mild cases, and/or the asymptomatic
Again, just crazy
In any other similar illness its the very young and very old who are the most vulnerable with undeveloped or depleted immune, the creators were really careful and considerate wasn't they lol

I currently have the flu (pretty sure it's just normal flu). Common sense says to stay home, so as to not spread it. Unfortunately, my work don't seem to agree and as they don't pay me sick pay, guess where I am at the moment! I take no responsibility for taking down the rest of the office.
Unfortunately, I would say that a lot of people would be in my position. The simple fact is that if you can't afford to take unpaid time off work, then you're going to go in unless you're physically unable to. If Caronavirus does break out in the UK, it's attitudes like this that are going to cause it to spread.

They need to go somewhere.
After all, they are people, possibly sick ta boot.

The alternative would be to send them home possibly escalating the spread of the virus outwith any logical control.
