Hi Amythist It’s not a hospital quarantine ...as far as I know 
.....it’s cos I’m over 70 ....I will be going home , but doubt there will be any help . I’ve been making myself do all the things I can ...like washing , dressing , loo etc .....but can’t load bear for about 6/8 weeks so having to learn to use a Zimmer frame

Hi Amythist
I imagined them putting you up in a requisitioned hotel hope the zimmer does the job....in the less salubrious areas of town I've heard that they customise them so you can have your can of special brew in a holder and a little tray for your chips

Insane, isn't it?
I actually needed to buy loo roll on Thursday, and while my local Sainsbury's wasn't out of it, the shelves did look a bit on the sparse side...
I did a "proper" shop on Friday evening, and I noticed the same supermarket was less surprisingly rather low on tinned veg - especially tinned tomatoes. The one I didn't expect because it's not something I'd normally think about was that the shelves were rather short on tinned meals - tinned curry; mince & potatoes, etc...
I didn't check on long-life milk...
I have to say though that it was also very noticeable that the shop had more people than usual out in the aisles refilling the shelves: at least for the time-being, it seems to be more a matter of logistics in getting the stock out there than actual shortages...
I noticed much the same at my local Tescos Extra last Friday evening. Absolutely no toilet rolls at all. Loads of staff restocking shelves. I thought it would be quiet but it was the busiest I'd ever seen it at that time of day outside the Xmas season.
The sudden rise in coronavirus infections in several South-east Asian countries has dimmed hopes that warmer weather might slow the spread.

I never quite understood what generated that idea in the first place!
And that's part of what's fueling our government's LAID BACK approach.

yes Australia , case in point. I can't watch Lardy Boy and his sidekick Crippin any more
And the UK's mobile networks are experiencing problems as people follow government guidance to work from home.
Apparently the mobile operators are saying it's an internal error and not due to increased home working!

🤔 pardon me for being sceptical
Something lighthearted to not panic over - bedroom door won't open!!!!!!!!!
Fortunately no-one got locked in!
Joiner's been now (two days later) and bedroom is available for use once more. 
Thought I would do my usual fortnight shoppping, but no, went to Tesco’s and no
milk, potatoes, eggs, bread/wraps, fresh meat except some smoked bacon, frozen veg and potato products, baked beans, tinned veg and meat, pasta, pasta sauces, toilet roll, kitchen roll and limited bleach/cleaning products. The cat was lucky but it’s not looking good for him next week!
so many people being kind but other people’s selfishness and greed knows no bounds

See my and Baz's posts on Page 2 of this thread. I'm sorry to say that the answer to your question is "yes": there are definitely some out there who do need to be reminded... 
I've just watched your video Saint - very interesting.
I've become a hypochondriac - every sniffle or cough and i'm COVID positive.
I've had a back ache today - that's it too
I've had a tot of whisky (every night to toast my Dad) and that almost choked me - since then i've been clearing my throat = Corona
Only 12weeks to go

I’ve been trying hard not to panic but, after hearing the Deputy Chief Medical Officer yesterday, saying diabetics (hubby) and people with compromised immune systems (me) are in the high risk groups and will probably need to be on lockdown for 12 weeks, I did get into a panic.
My 81 year old parents will also be on lockdown in a different town from us so that is another worry. We spent most of yesterday trying to put things in place so they will be okay. Scary times.
