That’s an odd inconsistency between the WHO and the CDC which specifically said otherwise last week as to dogs,

technically according to the spca (Hong kong animal welfare) pets at home have NOTHING to do with the coronavirus and its real a shame people throw their pets away on the streets or into shelters, its really sad as a animal person and pet owner (3 hamsters, 1 gerbil, 6 hedgehogs, 5 sugargliders) its sad to see animals being throw out
georgiapeach:
There is NO evidence that pets can infect their owners. But there does seem to be some evidence they can also get the virus although they do not appear to get as sick. I think we'll just have to wait for more info.

Well I live in London, England.
Some of my friends have already self isolated for 2 weeks which is quite worrying. I'm currently studying in year 13 for my A Level exams which are scheduled for May/June, these determine whether I get into my first or second choice university. (or none aha), schools remain open however we reckon with the high volume of cases they'll shut next week in which case exams would be pushed back thus our summer wouldn't be the normal 3 months you get after year 11/13, so no prom :(. I'm also having to cancel my interail trip around Europe which is incredibly sad... and my birthday is in 3 weeks so that's all not happening.
It is sad, but I am lucky to be in a situation where I have no worries of my own personal health, I wish everyone safety and happiness in this rather sh**ty time ahead.
I have a friend who is diabetic who has to self isolate for 3 months :'(
