My Mrs has been talking daily with friends and family in China.This has led her to go in to panic buying overdrive.
I think on standard rations we could lock in for 2 months, knock that down to starvation rations I'm almost good till next year
My opinion is with fairly low death rate I'm not all that arsed. If I get flu that's a few weeks off work, in bed, high as a kite..... on full pay.
If it kills me well I'll be dead so unable to give a shit. The wife may give a small shit but when she gets the payouts on my life she will soon be on a tropical island being serviced by Leroy and Winston and no longer giving a shit. |

My mate is convinced by Chemtrails - i keep telling him it's no more dangerous than shower steam / kettle boiling but he just won't have it. ____________________ 2017 Z1000SX |

Normally I'd just laugh and say fake news but you can never be sure with that nutter in charge.

On the subject of death. It used to freak me. The thing is, it's guaranteed. It's coming to me, to you, everyone. It's pointless being scared.
I don't want to die just yet though. I still have a few wants fixing on my bucket list. Someone blowing me but with their dentures removed. That sort of thing.
Be a right bummer if I went this month

Infectivity rates are still low by normal seasonal flu virus standards, it's also, not appreciably different in the mortality rates either. So what if it kills a few, it'll still most likely be fewer than the number of people killed on the roads over the same time period |
People killed on the roads is an accepted risk of moving the human body at speeds it wasn't designed to suddenly stop from.
We have spent 100 years trying to mitigate those risks; safety, training, technology etc
Getting dead because someone farted in a supermarket isn't a risk we are used to on the daily.
Rates are low in the UK currently and hopefully stays that way! We'll have a better idea in a months time which way its going.
But in terms of Covid19 vs flu, no contest.
Flu R0 between 1.4 and 2.8, mortality rate around 0.05%, seasonal vaccine
Covid19 R0 between 2.5 and 6.6, mortality rate between 3% and 14%. No vaccine exists, 18 months + to develop.
Yes, previous outbreaks of things have had almost no material impact on the UK and world in general. Hopefully this is the same.
Clearly China has been impacted, largely economically more than anything else, because they reacted so robustly to it (which itself is telling surely).
I read that Taiwan (I think) has largely escaped this and that its perhaps down to temperature increases. So maybe it will be slowed with a bit of decent weather. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years, 105 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
