Are you worried about Coronavirus?
Watch this postI am quite worried about this. I think the Chinese have done an excellent job at containing it but I do worry it will spread to poorer countries which will find it difficult to control and will struggle to have lockdowns like China has done.
Are you worried? Will you have to alter your travel plans? Has it made you nervous about travelling?

What is worrying me is the panic buyers that are starting to clean the supermarket shelves of essentials, in my humble opinion, a very selfish and scare mongering process to pursue.
I notice that even some that who are said to have been in perfect health, have now lost their lives.
Let's hope the government can turn their attentions to testing more quickly. South Korea seem to have organised this with much more efficiency.
I read that scientists have been warning of something like this for quite sometime, since we had Swine Flu and Bird Flu and that we should have had testing in place for a pandemic such as Covid-19.
Stay safe!
Do you have any travel plans?
Why hasn’t the government issued any advice for eating establishments to become more aware of the dangers and adopt better practices.
I think it would be a good idea for us all to point out anything we aren’t happy about in the cafes we frequent.
