PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

What Ashe said. Also, no it’s not ‘another strain of flu’. ‘Flu’ refers to influenza which is a group of negative sense single stranded RNA viruses. Coronavirus is a group of positive sense single stranded RNA viruses.
