Supplies

The Kingdom has lowered the portcullis and pulled up the drawbridge to 14 countries including all of its neighbours. Flights from the UAE were turned around and sent back. My flight this weekend has been changed to June, at a cost of more than twice the original charge. 

To put this in perspective, Saudi has a population of roughly half the UK. There are 11 cases of Coronavirus here, all in the east, which has been put on lockdown; compared to 319 in the UK and 59 in the Emirates. Schools, universities and shisha cafes are closed for at least 4 weeks.
