A1: UK, we are now pretty much in lockdown. We are only allowed to go out for essentials like food and medicine and we are allowed to go out once a day for some sort of exercise #ttot

replying to @bemusedbackpack @bemusedbackpack Similar here, the media did not a great job. Some did a good job, but others not. When I talk to people, many still haven't understood the situation. It took me also a while and some good research to understand it clearer. #ttot

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii @MrGads2 @TravelDudes Lockdowns are only PART of a whole solution and evidence says that they should only be short term. People still aren't talking about hygiene, infection control, testing and contact tracing. They are just virtue signalling by shouting stay at home! #TTOT

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii @FindTransfers A2. I am not an expert at all but I do think that right now is a time to pivot and focus on what people can do from home now. Ie: give cultural "tours" on @Patreon - find ways to help locally/donate to hospitals. Ask customers to accept credit instead of cash refunds #ttot.

A1 Thanks @tangenghui Are there any official lockdowns or is it voluntary in Singapore? What are some of the travel advisories? #ttot https://t.co/UsbMlI7JkR

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife Thanks! The majority of the population I would say but still many who disregard the guidelines, esp. last weekend. The PM got on TV last night and told the youngsters you may think you're ok but you're not alone in this society! #ttot

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii Still letting in residents from the infected cruise ships. And the infected are just breaking isolation. Going to supermarkets, hairdressers, restaurants, nightclubs address the ones I've heard about. #ttot

replying to @girlinflorence @girlinflorence @FindTransfers @Patreon yep, it's definitely a time for people to step up and do their bit to stop infection rates! #ttot

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes @FindTransfers A2. The industry will survive regardless. There's no need for hyperbole here. This WILL pass, there will be some casualties but most of the industry will get back to normal. I just hope that if airlines get a bailout changes are made to their operating procedures & attitude #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @TravelDudes A1 #TTOT - I'm a bit late to the chat, but we're in the #FrenchPyrenees where we're on a tight lockdown and only allowed to go for max 1h walk once a day within 1km of home. Missing mountain time, as you can imagine!

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii @FindTransfers @Patreon Yes, we learned too late how easy this virus can spread. I think we were all a bit "this won't be that big of a deal" in January and are in shock now how much everything has changed. That's why I think it's time to say "how can I help?" #ttot

replying to @bemusedbackpack @bemusedbackpack @MrGads2 @TravelDudes we've been going pretty well in WA with hygiene, testing and contact tracing, the main thing the population isn't doing here, is staying home from social activities. Some are but a lot aren't! #ttot

A2: Have a huge amount of savings or good insurance that covers this sort of thing. My honest opinion is that a great deal of small tourism operators will close permanently.

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes We are just outside #Venice in #Italy , in Mira - one of the first town hit by the #coronavirus. We have been on a lockdown a bit before the rest of Italy, since 7th March - we go out once a week for groceries, we stay indoors - it must be down for the safety of everyone #TTOT

replying to @aTravelCompanio @aTravelCompanio @TravelDudes A friend of mine just lost her grandmother to the #coronavirus, both her parents are sick (but ok) and she had to give birth alone (no companion is allowed in the hospital). These stories are no longer "far" for us in Italy but becoming more and more common #ttot

@SonjaSwissLife Currently there is no official lockdown for SG, however, there are some actions in place. Quite a number of things to type it out, I would place the official website link for all readers to learn and know more.

@wheresshellyii We've got the room! Setup a temporary isolation camp. Anyone infected guess there until clear. It's not rocket science and people have proven they cannot obey simple isolation rules.
