Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Following the spread of coronavirus from Italy, European governments are currently saying 'we are committed to keeping borders open' in a way that makes me think border closures are imminent.

A few schools have been to Italy skiing over half term. Staff and pupils have been told to self-quarantine if they show any symptoms, but I think they had already been in school for the day on Monday. The local papers are on it.

Hoping I will be able to cancel flights to Seoul in May. Not much point going to visit my in laws now that I am separated anyway, still hope they are ok as my wife’s sister in law lives just north of Daegu.

I'm flying away this weekend, nowhere that is mentioned, but travel with planes and airports etc just increases the risk doesn't it.

I'm sure we'll be fine.

A girl in SweetPea's class has been tested today following school ski trip to Italy at half term. The school are following PHE guidance and the other children from the trip are still at school. The girl was in school Monday and first thing Tuesday.

Not particularly. She's either been infected or she hasn't. Not much we can do, and from what I understand, it's like flu. Horrible at the time, but the vast majority of healthy people will survive it. Ask me again in a couple of weeks!

Ultimately with a mortality rate of 2% the deaths will be a small statistical correction to the global population.

However not much comfort if it’s your loved ones. A mate is a type 1 diabetic and apparently mortality rate more like 10% in his situation.
