Corona virus - Covid 19 discussion

[shadow123]

Anyone concerned about the chinese flu virus ? ,bit worrying that 2000 possible carriers are walking arond the UK.
Not their fault I know but I wouldnt trust the authorities to track them all down and test them.

*shrugs* - id need to leave the house and interact with people

like any other strain, just take sensible precautions; eat and sleep well, wash your hands frequently

 

[goatwack]

No more worried than I was about Sars, or the mass-panic drummed up by the media about Swine Flu a few years back

The Corona virus was last big in 1994

err nope

 

[shadow123]

Think this one might be a bit diffferent,originating in a highly populated area and the mobility of
the Chinese around the world.Just got a feeling

If scared, here's a mid- 1st quarter intermission to warm the cockles

Dysentery? What, were you a pirate

living in Indonesia; likely from dirty water or ice

So from dirty water then..

 

[dionysus]

the ex used to work in a group home and probably brought home every contagion known to man; mom lives with me and works full time in a nursing home so same deal.

stressing about what I may or may not catch will only increase the likelihood of actually getting something by weakening the immune system; just use common sense and go about your day.

 

[steveh35]

The experts have said this virus is nothing like as potent as SARS, just because someone has it doesn't mean they will die or get very ill in the same way as normal flu.

The media is hyping it up itv news were a disgrace on Wednesday claiming it was already in the UK when it wasn't.

with the restrictions in China being so severe it maybe enough to stop it going to far around the world

or street foods; or walkin shoeless and with my pants rolled up in 2 or 3 feet of dirty water during monsoon season

Dude, you need to have your pants rolled down if you want to avoid getting sick.
Everybody knows that.

Just to put this into perspective, from one of Belgium's top doctors:

You can die from HIV?

 

[sufferinsilence]

You can die from HIV?

Pretty sure you can if you don't get onto a anti-HIV meds cocktail asap.
