To be fair, in this day and age with the technology available - video conferencing etc., what does being in isolation really matter?

Oh come on..... So in this we'll include the Royal Family, top actors, sportsmen/women & other prominent figures who should also "lead by example". Let's also mention: -

- Iranian Deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi
- Spouse of the Prime Minister of Canada, Sophie Trudeau - both in isolation.
- Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton
- Iranian Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri
- Miami Mayor Francis Suarez

I could well go on.......

Nobody is safe and that's what all need to remember - especially the bloody muppets heading to parks and beaches despite the lockdown.

I think it's safe to say the world can write off its $5 trillion debt to China once this blows over.

We'll call it even, shall we? :? :banghead: :cuss:

A midlands airport is converting hangar space to be a temporary mortuary initially catering for 1,500 deaths but can be increased to 12,000.

And now it appears that the chief medical officer has come down with the virus.

Birmingham Airport is a midlands airport. The airport is not being converted. Hangar space in the cargo terminal is being allotted along with other available space.
