Not sure i understand your call for cash hoarding. The payment infrastructure is not going down, in China people did not have problems to pay online for stuff, did they?

Edit: In fact i think this will give a boost to online services if people will have to stay at home a lot.

He's not talking about stuffing your mattress with actual cash. He's talking about having enough cash in the bank to survive if your stocks become worthless because of world events.

Are the articles made up? Fake news? When even news sources usually considered pukka are essentially saying the same thing, are you suggesting there's some kind of global conspiracy and it's all a con?

Advice received about large groups of kids gathered together etc etc
I give it till the end of the month before they shut down the schools.

Even tho our country has under 100 infected, we already have all schools closed. Now they are considering even closing institutions such as cinemas, theaters, hair dressers, etc. Excluding only shopping malls and public transport, where they say it does not cause that much trouble due to people mostly flowing around each other, not staying together for more than 15 minutes.

They are also thinking about nation wide quarantine allowing people only to go out with a face mask or whatever is that thing called. Problem is, nobody has them and they were not available here almost at all even before the crisis started. Shite!

bd139:
They're preparing to shut schools here as well. They did Q&A session with students yesterday asking what tech they have access to so they can manage remote work to do. I think the plan is to shut the schools early before half term and hope it all blows over in the space of 4 weeks. That causes the least amount of disruption.

Still no pasta or toilet paper here which is depressing because I like pasta and shitting  :-DD
