Heath Ledger dressed as Michael Jackson caressing Bubbles?

He also did some high NSFW paintings and sculptures of him and his Italian porn star missus in action. They could definitely have caught the coronavirus carrying on like that.

Hardly everyone, if you consider the amount of flights from that area of Italy to the UK everyday.

True, but there are cases linked to Italy now in Malaysia, Algeria, Nigeria, Mexico , Brazil and across Europe, yet about a week ago Italy had counted 3 cases

Of course it will take a while for the numbers to catch up with what is actually happening. If the infection has been clustered around tourist resorts it doesn't necessarily equate to a high infection rate amongst the general population.

It seems pretty likely that the schools here in Veneto will reopen next week. Considering they all go their grandparents' for lunch it's worth putting a few quid on another clump of deaths around mid-March time.

This will be a dilemma for the Italians, they won't know who to surrender to.

I'd imagine a few teachers will be self isolating in a beach bar somewhere too.

Are bars, restaurants, tourist attractions open, transport running, shops well stocked etc in the Veneto region? Going 6 weeks today for 4 days, staying in Treviso, but hoping to travel a wee bit as we know the area pretty well.

A few bars are shut in my town (Treviso province), clubs are all shut as are swimming pools but gyms have been allowed to reopen. Libraries and other council facilities (some museums) were closed last I heard. The approach has been rather scattershot and without much apparent logic.
All sport this weekend is either postponed (including my local women's handball team which attracted crowds in double figures).
Public transport is barely functioning, but that's just Italy and nothing to do with the virus.

Who knows what things will be like in six weeks though, they've not even announced what's happening after Sunday.

An ex colleague of mine who got evacuated from Wuhan on one of the US flights with his daughter just got medical bills for tests and care (mostly for his three year old, I think) while in quarantine. He's been through a bit of a rough time.

When will P&B make the effort to get in on this.?
 
 

Was there any confirmed cases of P&B swine flu during the 2009 pandemic?

Given up to 20% of the world's population are believed to have got that there must have been plenty of posters on here who had it. That didn't live up to the hype but still offed up to 500,000 people depending on who you choose to believe.

Two hotels in lockdown on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi after two Italian team members attached to the Tour of UAE cycle race tested positive for Corona virus.  Race has been cancelled with two days remaining, apparently all the cyclists and support staff were staying on Yas Island.  All flights from UAE to Iran have been suspended, UAE nationals have been banned from travelling to Iran or Thailand, Bahrain suspended flights to Dubai and Sharjah, and Saudi Arabia have suspended issuing Umrah visas for pilgramages to Mecca and Medina.  Interesting times.

Thanks. Have been going to Italy since 1983 and been about 23 times, most of those to Veneto. Problem we have is that we are taking my wife's folks who are 84 and 85. They're in a bit of a panic already, but just playing it by ear just not to see how things pan out.
