Funny how during Foot & Mouth - there was common practices/rules North & South (e.g. strict disinfection routine at airports and at entrances to all offices) - this time no commonality. It looks like main (but not only) source was half term holidays with lots of ski trips (school, family, individuals) to N. Italy which may explain the profile. Unfortunately even as schools closed last Fri - lots of social media video showed packed bars & house parties on Sat & Sun as this was a "holiday" weekend with Tues (St. Patrick's day) public holiday - this is probably giving the burst of "community transmission". Since Mon, pubs, bars (even in hotels, golf clubs etc ) and many restaurants & cafes are now voluntarily closed. Some department stores (e.g. Penneys) have closed. Although large shops had the panic buying - many small shops are OK and shops have introduced measures limiting number in shop, queue separation etc. It'll be interesting to see if some of the tech shifts will stick after the crisis is over - most places will not accept cash, all contactless - limit has been upped from 30 to 50 - lots of remote working. Lots of offices are internet tech or financial companies and office blocks are clearly empty. During Foot & Mouth there was a lot of video conferencing rather than take flights but because tech really wasn't reliable / mature, travel took over again. This time around networks are standing up to strain - so far. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111843
