markavfc40 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) It all depends how they would define a lockdown. They are saying public transport will still run. It is being restricted now and almost certainly will be further. They are saying movement in and out of London won't be stopped. I'd imagine that will be he case but it will only be for essential reasons. You aren't locking down if you still allow some movements.

Kingman Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Coronavirus, too many dead in Bergamo: military vehicles bring corpses out of the region / VIDEO In the Orobic capital there is no place. Video appeal of the hospital in English: "Desperate need for material and personnel" Bergamo, March 19, 2020 - A punch to the heart, a war theater image. A long column of military vehicles traveled the streets of Bergamo during the night ,transporting the coffin of coronavirus victims out of the city , which no longer find a place in the city cemetery because the times of cremations have become too long. https://www.ilgiorno.it/bergamo/cronaca/cornavirus-morti-esercito-1.5073459 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but measured from when? From 1 to 2? or 10 to 20? Or is it the length of time it took for deaths to double last? So if we're at 100 deaths, is it the length of time since it was 50 deaths? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather stupidly I signed up for Sky a few weeks ago. Due to get hooked up at the end of April when there's no sport on so I might ask to do the same as you.

I heard they were letting you pause sky sports as well given the circumstances so that's an option as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 For anybody stuck at home with kids, a 12 month subscription to Disney + (launches in the UK on Tuesday) for £49.99 looks like the best money you'll spend on anything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody able to give any advice on how to get the money back please? No expert but I had this saga earlier in the week. My insurance company (whom I bank with) sent me 'around the houses' before ending up back in a phone queue with them. They wanted me to attempt to get a refund from the airline and then accommodation. If not possible, they asked me to contact the bank I paid with, which in this instance was on an AMEX CC, and then let them know the outcome. No action. The result was I ended up back at the insurance firm/bank and I filled in a claim form and submitted necessary paperwork in support of the claim. I have been trying to get a refund on some Ryanair flights too but its online form just does not work and will not accept my reservation number (it clearly is the reservation number). I suspect a traffic issue. In addition a refund from Skyparks for parking; I've been waiting over 3 weeks for that refund that was supposed to take 10 working days. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Sports Whilst we expect that many of the recently postponed sports events will go ahead, if you wish to pause your Sky Sports subscription in the meantime you will not be charged a fee to do so or be held to any notice period. Meanwhile we continue to provide high quality content across all of our 11 Sky Sports channels. We are sorry that you are currently unable to pause your Sky Sports subscription online, however, in light of the circumstances we are working hard to introduce this in the coming days.

FWIW we've just been informed that Taxi and Private Hire Drivers will be considered Key Workers in the event of any Lockdown I can't imagine that if we're actually locked down that the Public transport will actually run. The current reducing of service is actually stupid, that's more people on each carriage / bus, I don't see how that can continue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be bankrupted over night. The government is the only entity that can cover something like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
