Some thoughts on maintaining your physical and mental well-being in the event of having to spend more time than usual at home due to the coronavirus. Try to keep to a regular schedule. Get up and go to bed at normal times. Organise your day according to specifics tasks. Try to keep to a routine. You might find you're eating less. That's OK as long as you're satisfied. Don't starve yourself. Eat healthily. Exercise is important for a healthy body. Introduce light exercises at home that you can do every day (maybe even several times a day). There are many videos on YouTube you can follow at your own pace. I do core strength exercises for runners and stretch exercises for my dodgy back. Takes about half an hour. It doesn't have to be painful Living in shared space for a long duration can cause friction. Try to ensure you have some uninterrupted time alone to release any mental tension. Finally, if you are able to go out, why not take a short walk? You don't have to go far. Just be mindful.

Lets hope we don't need to follow that advice Shades. If we do then we have made contingency plans for a few of us to work from home, and I might at long last have a tidy clean house, and do a bit of gardening!

I like the government's "Hope for the best but prepare for the worst" advice

I like the government's "Hope for the best but prepare for the worst" advice I think that is not unreasonable. Problem is we don't really yet know what the worst might be. Cases seem to be doubling about every 6 days so do the maths and see where you get after a month. I make that about 8500,but hopefully less as measures will certainly be put in place regarding large gatherings etc. I went to my normally very busy pub on Friday and it was eerily quiet, so people are tending to perhaps exercise a bit of caution.

Perhaps they had spent all their money stockpiling toilet rolls

No. Most of them are farming folk and they are still using torn up newspaper, on a nail in the outside crapper.
