And at the risk of doomsaying, this is certainly going to cause a global recession, probably worse than 2008.

Indeed GDP could shrink from anything from 1.5 to 3 or maybe 4.0 GDP in the worse case scenario according to JPMorgan.

If the schools closed for 4 weeks that could account for 3% alone.

Once you have the infection, it could remain dormant and with minimal symptoms, and then you can get an exacerbation if it finds its way into the lungs,” said Philip Tierno Jr., Professor of Microbiology and Pathology at NYU School of Medicine.
Tierno said much remains unknown about the virus. “I’m not certain that this is not bi-phasic, like anthrax,” he said, meaning the disease appears to go away before recurring.

There’s been a few reported cases worldwide. It’s simply too early to tell if we develop any immunity at all. Alternatively if the rate of mutation in the virus is high enough that when it comes back around it will be different enough that developed immunity is worthless.

It does seem to have more in common with Flu & Cold viruses, which are known to mutate, requiring annual vaccinations for the most expected version of the Flu each year.

The Spanish government have drafted a decree to put the country into lockdown, according to reports in the Spanish media.

Re: Coronavirus
Arlene Foster has apparently said that in Northern Ireland when they close schools they will do so for 16 weeks.

There are murmurs within Scottish education that something similar will happen here.
Summer term in Scotland is only 9 weeks long because of the earlier summer holiday. We may see schools close at the end of the coming week, or possibly the week after, effectively stopping for Easter a week or two early, and then simply not attending the summer term at all. For three of the six high school years in Scotland there are exams in that period anyway, so they wouldn’t be in school at all for much of it. I predict that the high schools will make use of their empty premises to run the SQA exams while seating fewer kids in each available space.

It's certainly escelating at an alarming rate now, i'm so glad that I took precautions early on on the advice of my doctor and ignored others who said that I was overreacting.
I made arrangements a few days ago for one chosen carer to live with me to reduce interaction with others even further.

Given they aren't now testing anyone who isn't seriously ill/ in hospital, the numbers are massively under reported/meaningless.
The NHS and Govt, keep changing their advice. Crowds ok yesterday, not today... We're playing catch up all the time.
