3 essential things that you need if you're in isolation?
 
Entertainment (TV, movies, games and internet for example), nourishments (food and drinks) and medication (hand purifier, face mask, personal medication, natural meds etc.)

iPad, my doggie, coffee

Netflix have today apparently announced that they will cutting traffic streaming by 25% immediately.. that doesn’t sound good given there’s gonna be a massive demand globally for Netflix and other media sites??

They're cutting the quality of the streaming to reduce data by 25% because there will be increased pressure on networks. It doesn't mean you won't be able to stream the exact same stuff, it'll just mean a slight reduction in picture quality at 1080p (I would imagine pretty much unnoticeable to the layperson) and I would imagine maybe limiting 4k shows to 1080p or maybe 1440p rather than full 4k.

Seriously though most people won't even notice that it's any different. I have a large 4k TV and while I *do* notice the difference when gaming, I can honestly say I can't see any difference at all between Sky @ 1080p and Netflix @ 4k :umm2:. Maybe my eyes are crap.

If you're in isolation, you don't need those things... because... you aren't exposed to infection. Surely. People aren't sitting at home wearing masks are they??

I saw a guy drive past tonight wearing what looked like a decent looking mask .... he was alone in his car ?!?!?

I suppose I'd say:

- The internet
- My PS4
- Electricity

Ignoring the obvious things you need to survive (a house, food/drink, warm clothing, etc).

If food isn't a given then I'll give up any of the 3 for a lotta food!
