Cobra meeting today... I wonder what that will bring...

If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
This flippin virus could prove to be the deathknell for some of our highstreet shops ... so many more folk will be shopping online. I realise that I've just ordered some stuff ... make up, perfume etc, that ordinarily I'd have popped into Boots and Bodyshop to buy when I was in the city. Now I'm worrying about our wonderful Norwich Market ... it's not a place that lends itself to folk 'keeping their distance'.

It will be interesting to see if behavioral changes due to this virus has a positive impact on normal flu numbers. Ironically that could save more lives than are lost through COVID-19.
