We had the first UK case here in Brighton with our 'super spreader', who is now recovered and back at home. His local is 10 minutes from me and although he was drinking there inbetween his Singapore and French Alp trip, taking yoga classes and attending running groups, no one
in this area has yet become ill.

I think the media are doing more damage to businesses and our paranoia than the virus itself.

Update from Spain:
Authorities found that a woman working at the "La Selva Negra" brothel had tested positive for coronavirus. The findings forced authorities to quarantine the premises and the 86 customers that were inside.

Anybody who has decided to be self employed should have made provision for what they would live on if some event or circumstances meant they couldn't work or earn money for any length of time, or at least given it some serious thought. We could all fall ill, have some sort or accident or household disaster, be called upon to support somebody close to us or unexpectedly lose our place of work, and that was no different a month, a year or ten years ago.
