A sore throat then a cough then a coffin for the oldies like me......

Do everything you can to reduce your chances of getting it, bud! Even if that means being a hermit with no visitors for the next few weeks of months. lol

Does anyone know the symptoms off the top of their head? Just asking for a friend *washes monitor

heh. Fever is the first symptom that shows, followed by a cough and aching in the muscles. Roughly a week after the first symptoms show, the lungs become terribly affected, with the person struggling to breathe. This last symptom is by far the biggest cause of death in covid-19 victims.

So delirium isn't among them? That's a relief.

Dave thats a cartoon version of history - the Nazi state was run in effect by one man, who was the only one who knew everything or could give proper authority to decisions. In some ways this led to developing technology that was some way in front of anywhere else (and not only traditional technology but in terms of developing political messaging, refining propaganda as well) but in others it caused huge waste, killed millions / tens of millions and lost them the war.

You started out by saying the Nazi regime was statist, then you say it was an autocracy.

I'd suggest folks at risk for severe illness not go and those that live with or care for those at risk also not go.

I'd further suggest those that are ill or might be not go...even if it is just a cold or flu.

This generally is the rub and why government does shut things down. Folks tend not to do common sense things that would be beneficial for themselves let alone doing it for strangers.

For example this was NH very first diagnosed coronavirus patient...


The first coronavirus patient in New Hampshire — an employee of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center — defied instructions from public health officials to stay away from other people. In a statement, the state Department of Health and Human Services said the patient attended an invitation-only private event Friday "despite having been directed to self-isolate."
....
Health officials in New Hampshire are asking anyone who attended the gathering to self-quarantine for 14 days.

That's it, the Tories will ban us from European competition for five years, just to be safe.

*we obviously need to get into Europe first ffs

I suppose we could do nothing and allow completely free travel. This virus only kills the weak so let's just see where survival of the fittest gets us. The human race needs a good culling anyway.

Is that a joke?

On Merseyside thanks to some tories who couldn't help themselves from going skiing in italy

 

[LinekersLegs]

S Korea new case numbers have been stable with the 500-600 range for 4 days now where before they were increasing each day.

Could be noise but Italy's may also be showing some stabilization.
