Went into the city today

M and s had 6 hand sanitisers and they sold them to staff. They were out of dried pasta. Shops selling non essentials were deserted. I spotted 3 people with masks and all were Chinese. A bloke going past one of them coughed on her. Pubs and restaurants deserted. A 19 year old charity worker asked me for a hug and then she wanted another one. She was worth the risk. Beggars opposite train station smoking massive joints. Bloke at train station said to me how this virus news is all weird to him cos he's been in France up a mountain for 2 weeks and just flown back. I took more than a few steps away. All quite normal really.
