A horrible thought I just had about the UK. If it gets bad enough that a serious proportion of people are self-isolating, are people still going to be manning the food banks? Are people going to be able to get food from them? Are we going to see people starving if not? There've been enough disturbing cases of individuals starving to death due to benefits being stopped already.

Diabetes UK has cancelled it's big annual conference for healthcare professionals that was going to happen in Glasgow the week after next. The main reason was they didn't want to have a couple of thousand clinicians away from their day jobs if Covid-19 follows the expected trajectory.

Just on universities and tech averse profs: I’m definitely one but in addition our union position is not to record anything as you instantly hand over copyright to the institution
About to become more of an issue as we have a Hong Kong campus and the Business school are requiring videos to replace classes on the shutdown campus (politics/protest, preceding the virus)

Strange you would ask that than wonder why some are attempting to to put a black face on another infectious disease. Just like they attempted to do with HIV.

(BTW I reckon that's an old animation with Coronavirus added on the front. Updated for the new threat.)
*in case it's not obvious: racist scum wanting to blame Covid-19 on Africans/ black people as part of an ongoing effort to scapegoat black people for stuff

The Maltese case is a 12 year old Italian
France and Italy are starting to see a spate of public officials testing positive: two magistrates in Milan (leading to the courts being closed until the end of March), mayors and prefects in badly affected regions, the General Secretary of the PD in Italy, etc
