I could automate the whole process with a bucket of bleach placed under the letterbox
Should disolve any junk mail too.

The UK's response to this crisis appears to me to be rather weak. Please don't go to the pub/ concerts/ football. Keep schools open, until today. No bans on visiting the elderley in care homes.
Certainly, Asian countries suffered far greater in recent times with Bird Flu, SARS etc so you can understand why they can handle this one better.
This thing spreads like wildfire so any talk of optimal timing of calculated containment measures seems remarkably optimistic to me.
The London Underground is probably the most efficient Coronavirus spreading mechanism on earth, and is connected to Heathrow, the world's most international airport.
Another efficient way to spread Coronavirus, in this case to every town and village in the country, is to leave schools open. Kids and schools are the ultimate vectors of disease. Indoors, close proximity, younger ones constantly mauling each other and sticking things in their mouths.
So why does the UK, even today, have it's two most effective Coronavirus spreading networks open ? Reliable data and footage out of Italy weeks ago clearly indicated what would almost certainly happen here.
IMHO the UK government believes that it cannot lock this down. If it did lock it down the thing could go turbo again once restrictions are lifted.
I reckon that the UK Government has either lost all semblance of control. Or, it is deliberate policy to allow herd immunity to develop. Either way, I do wonder whether we end up in the same place.

I was just turned away from visiting my DAD in Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital, they've closed the ward to all visitors ( previously they allowed one visitor 1 hour/day ). He's in after his bad fall on Saturday, likely to be in a while. They were very apologetic, I said not to be daft, I fully understand it's to protect him. Still upsetting though 
. ****s getting real.
Regarding care homes I know one local home stopped visiting a few days ago.

Boris Johnston - just make sure you wash your hands to Happy Birthday everyone.
All pubs now to close. I'm glad we stuck by our guns to announce closing tonight
Well, have to say the Gov has really came through.
Very reassuring for those facing hardship.
Especially employees in hospitality

Steve, check your insurance, you may be surprised/pleased
Our accountant covering all angles
Preloading Doom Eternal here right now
Its a masterpiece. Absolutely relentless though. I'd love a minute just to take a look around.
Half life Alyx is out Monday, can't wait.
Oh cool! Let us know what you think of it. I don't have the hardware unfortunately. Still catering to the masses on Rift. I suppose I should upgrade, but then there's the Oculus Quest and seemingly a new headset every six months. Would be much easier if there was some hardware commonality.
I have a quest linked to an alienware laptop, 1080ti, hopefully it'll do it justice.
Oh yes of course. For some reason I have it in my head that it's Index only. Their marketing has been a bit confusing to be honest. Especially with the teleporting locomotion gameplay videos. Let me know how it plays!
Also interested! Don't have any VR hardware though
- is this going to be VR's VisiCalc moment I wonder?
It’s from China and its Kung flu
Seaside arcades still open! Crazy
Coronavirus: Seaside visitors defy social distancing advice
One beach has been forced to shut, while a police commissioner calls for arcades to close.

This was my seaside trip today. No Arcades open.
At least some resorts are being sensible
Sky vid removed:-
Apparently all Mcdonalds are closing before 7pm tomorrow night.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-51999604
Hopefully that should make the idiots thinking "it wont affect me" and going out with their mates realise it's serious....

There's a fake news story going around about Putin letting loose 500 lions on the streets of Russia to keep people indoors. It's not a bad idea!
