Mono Monday: Essential

Things seem to be getting a little more serious on the Coronavirus front here in the UK.  At work there is guidance posted everywhere highlighting the importance of washing one's hands as a means of reducing the potential spread of the virus.  

Perhaps not unrelated to the flurry of poster posting, it seems that the chap who flew from the UK to China at the weekend, and was found to have brought the virus with him on arrival, worked in Bristol.  In fact, he worked in the office just across the square from where I work.  Needless to say, his office block is empty today and is currently being deep cleaned.
