What exactly are you suggesting we should do, scb?
Read the post by el Sombrerero. If we don't get this virus under control quickly, other countries will ban travel from the UK. Spain are already saying that UK holiday makers aren't welcome this summer.
We won't be able to travel for business, holidays, to see friends and family, nothing.
I've outlined what I think the government will do. This is the colour coded warning system they've just published.
