Went to supermarket this morning (South London) - normally would be 20 mins in and out. Took over an hour. Big queues, everyone had toilet paper.

To be honest with the current state of the world, I don’t think a zombie apocalypse would make much difference.

All the bad stuff comes from the Devil.

I think it may be difficult to get the zombies to follow the proper hand washing procedures.

Not sure what the point of this “parody” account is, other than to spread deliberate gear and misinformation.

"In Spain, police reported they were preparing to lock down entire blocks of flats after dozens of coronavirus cases were traced to a funeral held in the Basque country two weeks ago. Spain has so far confirmed 430 cases of the virus – 60 of which originated among people who attended the funeral service in the Basque city of Vitoria-Gasteiz with most concentrated in the nearby towns of Haro and Casalarreina.

Local authorities said police would be “reinforcing home isolation controls” in Haro and limiting access to the town’s health centre. “We need to take exceptional measures designed to stop the transmission of the illness,” said the regional health minister, Sara Alba. The death toll from the virus in Spain currently stands at 10"

These 'entire blocks of flats' are smallish buildings like those in the photo, inhabited by extended families. Some papers were using this picture of a street that has been closed for months:View attachment 200993

It reminds me of the film R.E.C.
