Hmm yeah. But what's up with the Netherlands?

Does anyone have a timeline of how things have unfolded in Italy? At what stage did they enact the same measures? The thing has moved so fast that my perception of time has become warped. |
Remarkably, there's already a Wiki for that:

(Guess when folk are stuck at home, updating Wikis is a great way to pass the time.)
It was nearly a month before they initiated localized lockdowns from the first reported case. Nationwide lockdowns came a couple weeks later. |

Sorry, Jack, not trying to suggest you did anything immoral or dangerous or whatever, just amazed that life is so different up there! |
London is far from a ghost town. People still don't get it here. The sunshine today didn't help. Apparently the parks were flooded with crowds. Our balcony faces a bridge and we saw a constant stream of people on it. There's a shop downstairs that always has at least one cougher every time I venture inside. I'm already a hyper aware person and stepping outside now gives me even more anxiety because many people don't seem to be taking the same precautions. They couldn't care less about social distancing. |

1. Well, if you're already in the water there is no need to :)
2. Dutch have great resistance.
3. Dutch are honest about it.
4. Try to find a real Dutch in the Netherlands.
But in 2015 and earlier the same results were shown.
British media had doubts about these numbers. In a 2011 research showed 95% of the Brits did say they washed their hands, but 10% actually did.
At my work I would say 90% of the men wash their hands, but we live close to the German border..... lol
At the end of the week I'll report the women number.
2015 source, use google translate:

Sort of.
From 31 January to 21 February there were only 2-3 cases.
On 21 February, suddenly there were 20, and then it just grew exponentially from there.
On 22 February they began localized lockdowns;
on 4 March they shut all schools;
on 8 March they expanded the lockdowns to much of northern Italy, as well as shut all pubs/casinos/theatres;
on 9 March they extended the lockdowns to the whole country.
They've continued to tighten what they mean by 'lockdown' since then.
We (the UK) had 20 cases on 28 February.
So, it took them 16 days from 20 cases to close bars/etc; it took the UK 22 days; we were 38% slower than them, although our population is 10% higher than theirs. |

Depends on one's neighbourhood. We live a couple minutes from Borough Market, so not many people live around here, and the streets, parks, and shops are all quiet around here, and have been all week.
I give it 72 hours before we're under enforced curfews, since people are clearly stupid as . Police had to force some bars in Scotland to close today, since they opened as normal. |

Don't get me wrong, it's a ghost town now. I'm hoping we've got few enough cases here for this shutdown to stymie an exponential spread.

The purple Listerine is especially effective on fine Nubian lady bits. |
