@Andy Black you can check the UK government figures for Corona virus here:
It has a handy map so you can tell whats going on in each local authority area. The numbers are delayed, I think by a day, "to enable verification of cases" but I also think its to stop people panicking when the numbers spike.
The general situation around us feels calm. There are some gaps on supermarket shelves and on social media people have reported difficulties booking a slot for food deliveries, but where we are its OK.
I get the feeling that the NHS is battening down the hatches. As far as I can tell from my doctor friends, all none essential things have been halted - including in some places walk in appointments at GP surgeries, so they can prepare for whats coming. They are even going to be let of some of the NHS paperwork!
There's cobra committee meeting going on right now (that's the UK government committee that responds to emergencies) with stories going around that they are thinking about closing UK schools for a month: Schools 'on alert as they could close for a month' due to coronavirus
