• Mate of mine has just got back from northern Italy after doing a gig out there. He feels fine. Should he self-isolate? He says no. I’m self-employed, with two good paying jobs coming up. Who’s gonna pay me to stay indoors and not earn anything for a fortnight?

    And that’s the point. In London in particular, with our shitty gig economy, no-one can afford to take time off just in case. If Covid-19 hits London then it’ll spread like buggery. Tough shit, I say.

  • That was on the Guardian live blog yesterday, a supermarket delivery worker told her boss she had symptoms and was told to stay at home for two weeks. She can't afford that.
