Why the f*** would anyone wait for Boris and his pair of boffins before they act for themselves?
Apple are closing all of their stores outside of China.
Nobody is telling them to.
They did it anyway.
All sport is postponed.
Nobody told them to do it.
They did it anyway.
So why the hell are people waiting on government before they think for themselves?
This article written by teachers in New York

is going to force the governments hand. It shouldn't've been written. The schools should've been closed already. Especially as the mayor of New York has cancelled public gatherings of more than 500 people.
So why wait for Boris?
The only reason the UK government haven't closed schools already is because of the economic impact. Parents will have to take time off work to look after their children.
That's it.
The only reason.
Look after your own family.
