There is only one topic of conversation, one word on everyone's minds; coronavirus. We are all home now, Joe and Kate with Evie and Amelia at their home, Bridie and Joseph in theirs and Maria, Alison and I with Glen in Woodlands. The most immediate news is that the deaths attributable to the virus has risen to 104 from 72 over the last 24 hours as we enter the steep upward trajectory of the predicted curve.

Everything feels calm despite the 'lockdown' although I'm not sure it would feel the same if I was trying to get shopping, given the shelves are bare of a number of essentials.

We will see what decision is made later as Wales and Scotland have announced school closures from Friday.
