I never heard anything about coronavirus until after I got back from Japan. Were I there a week later, I might have encountered it over there, or at least had people worry that I had.

I'm genuinely not worried about getting coronavirus though. Pretty sure it won't kill me if I do get it. Quote me as being wrong if I do die from it though :upsd

My work has now published advice and guidance on Coronavirus. Usual sickness and leave policy remains though (aka one that penalises you based on number of instances of sick leave alone, with no context taken into account).

I haven’t got a big fancy suburban garage freezer like you probably do. And presumably the outdoors will stop freezing things soon. Also the outdoors is full of coronavirus!

Pretty much every conversation I've overheard at work this week has been about coronavirus. There are a few teams who seem absolutely obsessed.
