I thought that the US ban on flights from EU26 came into effect yesterday.
The image below is a screen grab from planefinder.net at about 15h15 today.

There are still dozens of flights in the air. I checked, and many are just freight but many more are passenger flights from all over Europe including Italy. For example, Alitalia Flight AZ630 is currently on its way from Rome to Miami. These flights can't all be full of Americans going home surely.
3OOOO dead in the US so far this year from influenza against 30 dead from coronovirus and twelve of those from the same old folks home!
Are we panicking about the right virus??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgXJQPC3Ro8
Think it depends how old you are and what your state of general health happens to be. I am not panicked but I am concerned, like everyone else I should imagine. I can be vaccinated against flu (and I am) but not against this coronavirus as yet. I am glad of the approach in Scotland and feel well informed by the Scottish Government and generally supportive of the measure in the UK.
Let me change my intro!
**********The CDC states that vaccination may prevent up to 50% of the infections. There is a newer/ stronger vaccination for over 65’s., which May assist, but nothing is guaranteed
Of course one must take stats into account...
So far this year in America, there have been 30,000 deaths associated to ‘common flu, whereas Covid19 is attributed to approx 30 deaths...now 60!
I am not diminishing the situation, but when panic sets in it stresses people out, weakening their Immune Systems, thus making one more susceptible to ill effects.
The facts are set out by the Centre for Disease Control. I didn’t make them up.
It’s time the Western World did what occurred in China.
Lock every infected person in their Hospital/Internment camps which they built in approx 7 days.
We are so far behind these ‘poor people’!
The Chinese are so far advanced.... In Canada/North America they send people home to ‘self isolate’ and then those people go to concerts etc and infect so many others.
There is a lot to say about an ‘Authoritarian Regime’....they get the job done.
No one is vaccinated against the flu!??????
I am and so is every nurse and doctor in the NHS.
They will learn the hard way as this thing gets worse.
I think he was trying to say that flu vaccines reduce the risk of flu illness by about 50%.

Thank you Aqua. That is what I said.
We can be on the same page’!
The below video of toppling dominoes might help them.....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6KNAKSe7Dg
The starting dominoes running round the outside are toppling linearly. The rate of topple is consistent. When the triangle kicks off, the rate of topple increases by 1 on each row.
We are still somewhere up near the peak of the triangle with the "So what, more folk die of seasonal flu" mentality. The same mentatlity that assumes that the whole triangle of dominoes will somehow be prevented from toppling.
Actually, that is not the full picture with regard to flu vaccination as there is good evidence that vaccination reduces the severity of symptoms and duration of the illness if one is infected and also, possibly provides some protection against other strains of flu. It is to be hoped that any vaccine developed for covid 19 will achieve at least that and hopefully much more, especially since some scientists believe that this will be an ongoing, annual disease.
I see Rock Rose gin have made hand sanitiser and given it free to doctors surgeries and care homes.
Well done to them.
Yes, brilliant and I believe the gin is very good too!
Am I the only one who wonders what it tastes like? :)
Well that's us on way to a lock down now.
