I hadn't seen the 3x figure Robert. The grandson's situation sounds like real hard yards.

I'm puzzled. The last three years in the UK has seen an average of 17,000 deaths from influenza. Since October, 20,000 have died in the USA from flu complications. WHO puts figures out of 500,000 deaths globally due to flu.
I can find no reports of such drastic actions such as we are seeing now being implemented to curb the death rates.
I/we are isolating and are following the guidelines and advice.
After this event, who will actually be buying luxury goods? Most retail sectors will disappear. Most jobs will be gone. Debt will hit levels never imagined.
Although puzzled, am I completely wrong on this one?

It's the responsibility of all of us to stop this virus, nobody is going to stop it for us. Even if the administrators of your camera club don't close their doors, it would be grossly irresponsible to turn up. You may remember the phrase "Leave means leave." from recent events, well here in Spain it's been replaced by "Lockdown means lockdown". We are only allowed on the roads to go to/from food shops, hospitals, doctors, garages, and tobacconists . All bars, restaurants, golf clubs, cinemas, theatres, etc. have been ordered to close for 15 days.
Now, is reviewing a few photos worth the potential risk of losing your life? Of course not.
Very smart move, timing is critical, the sooner you isolate, the less the spread.

I was at the Porton Down facility for the last week in February to deliver training. A very unique place and it's expanding. Now we have a virus contagion, it may be the place that comes up with a vaccine.
Regardless of any situation, panic and ignorance will put most people at risk in any situation. Unless a virus gets airborne, contact is the only way to catch it. Separation and hygiene will work to prevent that happening.

Ciara has been kind enough to provide a brand new pool at the rear of the garden that's deep enough for ducks to paddle. Nearly big enough for an RC float plane to use. Some serious amount of water fell yesterday and over last night. It's still raining......
I'm on a coffee break from my workshop. A major overhaul of my lathe in progress. Any outside jobs need to wait until the weather breaks.
Back down to the most bombed city (houses/buildings) and birthplace of Tom Courtenay next week.

The illness for most is mild but for some it is really serious and extremely painful and can result in permanent damage to the lungs. Not only the old. We do not want to end up like Italy and Spain, but both the UK and NL are heading that way.
Unfortunately, all those who will be out of work and can't pay their mortgage will suffer a lot longer.
