Cycling is taken so seriously here that any amount of disruption is acceptable to belgians. In the summer they do time trials on the small hill where I live so there is a curfew between 6-9.30pm on a Friday night! No one can leave to go out or return from work etc to your house during those times. Police out in force.

My Belgian neighbours are out smiling & clapping & the typical Brit that I am, I’m f***ing seething!

f**k that is be fuming with that. There's taking the piss and then there is that

There is no point telling people to wear gloves when they don't/won't wear them correctly.

My brother works in a hospital in the North West, he says they have room in ICU at the minute. Plenty on the wards but recovering well of all ages. Once they can test staff quicker and get em back to work his opinion is that they will cope and he's not panicking. We have been more or less locked down over a week and there's been no mad rush

The wife works in a small local shop and she wears gloves and mask at all times and is behind a screen changes the gloves regularly and uses sanitizer on the gloves after each cash transaction.

I'm convinced it's more airborne than they think. We have been staying in for a week so surely we should see a massive slump in numbers. I understand that there's an incubation period but if we go from normal to the majority hardly going out then I just can't see how else it spreads. All them Italians singing on their balconys are still getting it

Haven't seen or noticed any politician's or officials interviewed outside at all these past few weeks, or is that just me

My understanding is Your looking at a 2 week lag from taking  action to seeing results.

I know but with a huge number showing signs in 3-5 days and Italy being in lock down for over two weeks then it's still not adding up surely
