From tomorrow Europe Schengen will be added to China and others quarantined from the US.
How long will their stocks of phones and PCs and other needs of modern life last?
As Britain will not be locked out this must present you with a glorious opportunity to trade outside the EU straitjacket.
What are you going to offer to sell?

Erm, goods are allowed in. It's only people that aren't.
Of course, Trump said something else, but the actual policy is to only keep dirty foreigners who don't speak English out, not their delightful high class luxury goods. As you'd expect from a Stephen Miller policy.

Big fool me - for a moment I believed what Trump declared.
I'll have to wear a dunce's cap today. Are there versions with fur coverings for ears protecting poor idiots from Northern winter?

Have you had a winter?
All we seem to have had around here, is about three frosty mornings

Ice on roads since end of October. Some 4 1/2 months now. Believe me, one gets tired of that. Breaking a leg is not recommended at my age, I'm 76. Snow hasn't been bad except for some periods - I'm at low altitude.
Trondheim where I live is at same latitude as Reykjavik on Iceland but we don't have hot springs here being far east of the Mid-Atlantic ridge that pushes Iceland above sea level.
