This thing is covid is already here, people would start worrying about Yellowstone if it had been bubbling away and scientists say in the next month it will blow up or an asteroid is on a collision course with Earth and it is just a case of where it hits and not if.
I do take the point of not worrying yourself to death about it though, it should just be a sense of preparedness and do what you can to maximise your chance of yourself and your family not picking this up. Anything else is out of your hands.
Think South Korea are doing it right. Mass drive through testing facilities. Havent shut down the country yet and the rates of new cases are falling
The South Korean government has been among the most ambitious when it comes to providing the public with free and easy testing options. It has the ability run about 15,000 diagnostic test per day and has conducted 196,000 tests to date nationwide, free of charge. Authorities in the city of Goyang even set up drive-thru testing booths.
"Detecting patients at an early stage is very important and we learned the simple lessons by dealing with this virus that this is very contagious -- and once it starts, it spreads very quickly and in very wide areas," Park said. "Raising the testing capability is very important because that way, you can detect someone who's carrying the virus, then you can contain the virus."
South Korean authorities also arranged facilities for patients who were only suffering from mild symptoms. Park said only about 10% of coronavirus patients required hospitalization, while the rest had strong enough immune systems to fight the virus on their own.

Always knew she was a dirty so and so. If she had washed her hands she would have been fine!
I've to stop you on that one. I'm not saying you're wrong because I don't think even the experts know all the facts, but that statement seems like potential misinformation...
Firstly what evidence do you have to say Covid 19 is airborne (as smallpox is airborne)?
I heard that it is spread primarily by coughs and sneezes, or touching infected surfaces?
One article I read recently suggested that while not an ironclad guarantee (eye's still exposed etc) face masks can dramatically reduce the chances of catching the virus.
Furthermore, if in England everyone now wore masks, it would (I think) help enormously, as asymptomatic carries would be coughing the virus onto their masks not onto each other.
Gloves and masks are a good combo when you are out and about (I mean outside/inside really). Not only for reasons already mentioned but because they also remind you, you are wearing them, stop you putting your hands to your mouth, and alternatively reassure or alert those around you.
I'm trying to convince my parents to buy some. I think above all else this could be the most effective way of dramatically slowing transmission.
Trouble is literally everyone has to wear one, and almost literally nobody wants too!
Thats just irresponsible and negligent to be honest. Paid sick leave is fantastic by the Irish government but imagine how much it will cost when massive numbers of their people are putting themselves at high rish of contracting it and bringing it back to Ireland.
Looks like Boris is doing everything he can to 'take the hit'. What a wonderful way off killing off pensioners and people with health issues/disabilities, by leaving it long enough to get out of control.
Quick way to reduce pensions and disability allowance pay outs.

This isn't my opinion. That post was cliff notes to a video I posted earlier featuring an interview with Michael Osterholm of the Center for infectious disease research.
Pandemics and researching the cause and prevention of, are his expertise, so I'd say he knows what he is talking about.
