Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Well funny you should say that. I had the most weirdest cold over crimbo, temperature and dry persistent cough this went on for about 10 days, then it progressed to a normal cold. Then by end January sinus infections which resulted in antibiotics. First cold illness in years. Being good worker drone I shared it all.

I had the same thing.

Christmas was rubbish for me as I just felt grim all the way through it then it developed into a sinus infection.

The cough was the worst thing about it. Felt like I didn’t properly shift it for a month.

I see the police are going to start arresting people for going outside now. This is complete insanity now.

Yep and if you get into a car and drive it you may hit and kill one or more people.

The worry here is this virus is extremely infectious. You shed virus cells before you yourself show symptoms of the disease and as we have been told, this virus leads to pneumonia and other serious respiratory illnesses in the elderly or sick.

So given that our NHS is in such a poor state and we have few ICU beds available, the extreme nature of this virus is what is driving the real concern.

It has the potential to overwhelm our NHS and further endanger other lives such as people waiting for cancer treatment or other vital surgery.

the hype and hysteria being whipped up by the media is another thing entirely and should be dismissed as background noise by the more intelligent amongst us.

Unfortunately there are many who rely solely on the tabloids and sky news for their daily dose of terror and therefore they too should be dismissed as background noise.

Unfortunately the unwashed brainwashed masses are buying up all the food and stuff so are impacting on the rest of society.

Our society is so messed up.

as bad as here gets sometimes, its 0.1% as bad as infowars

basically the dividing line is whether a person or site thinks / states that Alex Jones* is a human being or not

* the red faced homunculus, not the Welsh presenter

Is it bad that I have no time for either??

You'll always look back on this moment and wonder that if you had said something differently the President might still be alive.

I don't look back on any moments mate. I just take another shot.

Czech's have implemented a quarantine*




*except for going to work and then back home, as you clearly can't spread viruses when you're at work, only when you're at the pub

Mmmm, don't share your identity, some of the mindset I've read here, they will have use on a slab harvesting our bloods to make serum for their herd immunity.

Stopping an outbreak is never just a fight with nature. It’s also a fight with culture.

no, but only one of them should be worth a raised glass when they pop their clogs

So moving on. Makes you wonder why it would be a great idea to introduce "herd immunity" into the populace.

MP was on Radio 4 this morning saying that over 70s won’t be asked to self isolate, but reduce their social interaction by ‘about 75%’.

What a nonsense.

Trump apparently tried to buy out some German scientists so they can develop a vacchine - just for the US, of course: Corona: USA will Zugriff auf deutsche Impfstoff-Firma - WELT

the German government said feck off. The whole American first dipshit philosophy will cost the US hard now. It's very likely that Asia or Europe will come up first with a vacchine - and you can bet your grandmas that they will not share it with the US. They will probably give it to the Mexicans first, just to troll them.
