The UK hygiene baseline is a bit of a movable feast sometimes...in fact I'd go so far as to say you can apply that to most of the first world
Many live in a sterilized hand gel world, thinking it makes them bullet proof...and if you put it in the fridge it'll last for ever
Anecdotal I know, but I get the impression many have lost - or never gained, many of the basic immunities we more mature posters had/have.
Back in the day hardly anybody (in any) was allergic to peanuts or had Asthma.

Are the powers that be:
A) Over reacting
B) Being cautious just in case
C) Both

More brainwashing from the media creating panic and hysteria, when actually if your generally fit and healthy it’s just the flu and you will get over it.

Look at the facts of the people who have died from it mostly in their 70/80s and have already some kind of health issues. Yes no one wants it but it’s not the ‘killer’ virus it’s made out to be.

Will only start getting worried when healthy 30-somethings start dying from this. Until then I will assume only the old/young/weak/ill will die from it.

All ages are and have died from it. Just more likely in older folks.

As someone who suffers with respiratory issues it's certainly a worry for me.

A LOT more likely, overwhelmingly more likely

Agreed, but look at the post I was replying to...when healthy 30 year olds START dying.

And so what if it is mostly old folks. Personally, I'm very fond of my 94 year old granny.

I typed this before I'd had coffee. Actually I don't think any younger kids have died.

Yeah its a big worry in that regard, didn't mean to sound flippant. I'm flying back to the UK at the end of march for 5 days, even if i feel healthy I've got doubts about visiting my parents (mid 60s) or nan (95) because of the incubation period.
