Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Tubey]

The videos released by the doctors and nurses on the front line in China, they are saying the government are covering it up - believing there to be at least 100k infected, I don't believe the Chinese wouldnt be building all of these extra hospitals for only 5k infected.

Yeah it's called a seasonal cold outbreak that is marginally more lethal than a 'normal' cold, killing basically only those with pre-existing health conditions, and signficantly less dangerous than the flu.

Overhyped to the extreme.

Possibly mate - I'm sceptical myself.

You would think there is a trade war going or something, over hyped tut tut, your not a good sheeple, are you!

 

[nsno-chris]

I think its massively underhyped personally.

Coronavirus isn’t new, this new strand attacks the respiratory system so people with issues regarding that are at a higher risk, along with the elderly

Its not some killer bug that sees you dead once you contract it.

The rational part of me thinks the Wirral is because of the proximity to the School of Tropical medicine

The irrational part says it because we all voted Labour (in Liverpool) and Johnson wants us all to get sick and die

its amazing what the media and social media can do in situations like this.

lids actually thinking that they’re going down immediately if they contract it

By the medical community (NHS/WHO/CDC) or general population?

just hoping they find a black and white monkey to sort out a vaccine before it hits merseyside

the medical community are not using the same hyperbolic language as the media, so you could argue by definition it has been hyped up

 

[Connor]

Put on antibiotics and steroids yesterday for a long lingering cold which has mutated into a sinus infection, it couldn't be could it?

Thoughts, prayers

Ooh conspiracy

By the medical community (NHS/WHO/CDC) or general population?

The media. And by extension the population.

The WHO just operate on an abundance of caution like they should, as they did with SARS and Zika. Its not a reflection on the potency of the epidemic.

This is just a cold that's been hyped up by the media to draw hysteria and thus interest in their channels.

So kind!

Ooh conspiracy

I don’t normally do conspiracies, but the reaction from the Chinese government appears slightly over the top. Obviously they, like ourselves, have no end of military designed ‘bugs’, and we would be naive to think otherwise. Obviously eating bats and snakes and no end of other crap might have set it off, but I would guess it’s an escaped bug....imho.......
