Even though I am currently travelling on the tube looking like a jedi ninja grannie, I am pretty much of the "more people die annually from ordinary flu" school of thought.

If it was Ebola I would be a LOT more concerned.

I'm vaguely worried about my mum who is 80 and lives in a city with a high oriental population and a lot of international travellers coming and going, she's not especially frail but if she caught it, what can I do from over here? What could I even do if I lived there?

Fuck all.

TLDR

"The death toll is estimated to have been 40 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in human history."

wiki.

***MCN rakes out Chinky-esque face mask.***

and....

"World War I (often abbreviated as WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. Contemporaneously described as "the war to end all wars",[7] it led to the mobilisation of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars in history.[8][9] It is also one of the deadliest conflicts in history,[10] with an estimated nine million combatants and seven million civilian deaths as a direct result of the war, while resulting genocides and the resulting 1918 influenza pandemic caused another 50 to 100 million deaths worldwide.[11]"

Viruses rule this planet.

Manatee county gives a warm welcome to Covid19 and hopes it enjoys wintering over in Florida...
I wonder what happens if you get manflu and Covid19 at the same time, just arsekin for a friend?

Spookily enough, not only does it look like I'm about to go down with some nasty flu like virus that my stepdaughter (dirty little bitch) was spreading liberally around (-ve test for the newest global deathkill virus) but my pharmacy has been dicking me around for the last week saying they can't get one of my meds, which ran out three days ago...

Media frenzy and fake news on social media will drive the panic and irrational thinking; this will probably cause more damage than the virus . If you get it not a great deal you can do and the main preventative measures are what everyone should be doing anyway (and that you get taught as a kid to do)

Someone with medical contacts locally has been advised it's so infectious that 90% of the UK population will have had it by the end of the year.
Trying to close down cities will barely make any difference, but there is still a remote chance of keeping it at a manageable level in 100s if we can get on top of it the next month or so.
Some other parts of the world are going to be a never ending supply of new cases for years. Vaccination of some kind is the only real answer.

[Polarbear]

Hold on. Are you fcukers telling me that Corona beer is NOT a vaccine to the virus.

I have a fridge full of sh1t beer that has no useful effect other than to get me sh1tfaced.

Better not get Ebola then.

Concensus reached & agreed in t'pub sunday dinner, we're all jumping in the car & off to the first UK hotspot that appears. That way we'll get a nice warm hospital bed with lots of hot soup, nurses & machines that go beep.

You lot will get the camp beds in the marquee on the local rec'.

Can you get it more than once?

I'm no medical person but if someone has it and recovers, doesn't their body make antibodies that can be used to make vaccines?

As for the cruise ship, if the AC was running the air would have been recirculated around the ship many times. Even if it wasn't running and the system on outside air you would still get some recirculation as none of the fan flaps are totally sealable on board a ship. They aren't designed to be.

Taiwan has been talked about, but what's the situation in Hong Kong.

Maybe China would approve if the rebellious little colony got a good donking.

went to costco manchester today to pick up some supplies for the company. They were totally sold out of several items, one being toilet roll of all brands(they stock 3 including own brand)

I asked at the till and the lady said they have had a massive increase in sales since saturday because of panic buying and have sold out of toilet roll 3 times this week. They have a delivery tomorrow but think it will be sold out by lunch time.
