Augmentin is utterly useless against viruses.

Home delivery is likely to spread the disease even faster than shopping. Firms like Amazon will not pay their workers to stay at home if they get worrying symptoms. They'll have to come in to work no matter what. Coughing all over your parcels before they ship them out. A conscientious driver (with targets to meet) will then easily manage to get them to you while the virus is still viable.

All I ask for is football and Prosecco. Naturally, Liverpool are fulfilling my dreams and footie must continue until the few more points they need to win the league are in the bag. Prosecco is a worry as it comes from the Veneto. But, thanks to Lidl's special offer last week, I now have a bottle for every barbecue I'm likely to have this summer...

I have more cheapo baked beans stockpiled than you could shake a stick at. Bring it on, you bloody virus...

An interesting read on how the UK government will likely respond, should escalation occur and a pandemic be declared.

I may be with you on that page, but it is a drug for the UK masses. And what would politicians have to get behind? Pop musicians? Sound familiar?

But I ask, how ya gonna buy food without traveling to crowded shops?
Home delivery? "Just leave it on the doorstep, in the rain. Ta" In the UK invest in Ocado - it didn't take long jump on that bandwagon

And without buying 60 GBP's worth it all puts up the price. Which I predicted, but not via that particular vector. Life is complex, let's face it.

I think of the video of the children in Iran struggling to breathe with no oxygen equipment and I think of the snearing comments here some have made. I am not referring to silly jokes..that is OK I guess. I mean trying to ridicule and shame people for wanting to be proactive even if it all blows away and we look foolish. I am fine with looking foolish. I am not fine with abuse, especially on such a serious matter..well all abuse is serious.

It says a lot more about the intellectual and psychological capabilities of a person if he can only respond with abusive comments aimed at another person rather than stating reasoned and fact based responses on the subject being discussed.

Incapable, inadequate, and unable to hold his own in a reasonable, evidential discussion.

Is trollery becoming the new pandemic?

Or is it possible to just discuss the topic of the thread?

Coronavirus is a mild illness in four people out of five. It kills about one victim in a hundred (far fewer, I suspect, because it's not unlikely that tens of thousands of people have got it/had it without knowing it).

The World Health Organization (WHO) had mentioned 2% as a mortality rate estimate in a press conference on Wednesday, January29 and again on February 10. However, on January 29 WHO specified that this is a very early and provisional estimate that may change.

There are hundreds of thousands of case of flu every year. Flu is never a mild illness and kills about two victims in every hundred. Coronavirus is a mild illness in four people out of five. It kills about one victim in a hundred (far fewer, I suspect, because it's not unlikely that tens of thousands of people have got it/had it without knowing it). By all means close schools and cancel football matches in hotspots. Otherwise, give me one rational reason for the suggested panicky overreacting we are getting, even in this thread. Nice opportunistic swipe at money-spinnng events, etc. But you can bet your life that the real reason for the draconian actions of the Chinese regime is a lot more to do with ensuring that their money-spinning capitalist economy doesn't go into free all, and watch that space if the US gets a few more cases...

pfr:
Could well be right. Once everyone has been exposed we will have the chance to build up a 'herd immunity'. Unfortunately, doing this quickly may overwhelm the healthcare system for a while, and increase the percentage for whom it proves fatal.
Perhaps this has already happened (to some extent) in China. The news was last night that the rate of new cases is rising more quickly outside of China. Perhaps they are reaching saturation.

Once a person becomes infected, rabies is nearly always fatal without treatment. The number of deaths in the United States ranged from 30 to 50 per year in the 1940s but has since dropped to one to three deaths per year due to not poking infected animals with a stick.

similar to childhood 'measles parties'...

It's a lottery which of us will survive, but it will get the threat out the way with,

There are no questions about containment. There is none.

Quite, but such attempts will slow down the spread, and distribute it over a longer time frame. Which gives the services more time to react, and reduces over-whelming of medical capacity.

Then summer will arrive - and that will reduce the spread (a little).

It looks like history has taught governments something. That is progress I guess. But they have a long way to go still................

Last night President Donald Trump made his Coruna Virus Natuinal announcemnt.

He made cringe worthy claims from the briefing room which has been locked and unused for 1 year. He Dumped the entire Covid 19 task force on Pense.

Trump claimed that Corona is just a flu much less dangerous than the flu. He said the death rate of the flu is many times greater than 3 and corona is lower than flu. He also said the stock market collapse on Monday morning was due to the Democrat Debate Tuesday night.
