I hope you do well. Let us know. Treat as if it is COVID-19 until it passes or you get a couple of clear tests about 3 days apart.

Covid-19

10,000 people in England die from seasonal flu each year already, mostly aged people with underlying health conditions.

The average age of the people who had died in Italy recently was 81.

The figures for people who have tested positive for Covid19 keep rising, but once you recover you still show on the official figures. By that rate the number of people who have had a headache is 6 billion.

If you sing Covid19 to the tune Come on Eileen it scans perfectly. That is all I can hear now.

It is likely to become more serious, so should the government tell the people most vulnerable to self isolate?

250 dead in Italy today alone. At this rate they will surpass China's total deaths before too long.

If I get a fever and start coughing I'll get tested, for now I'll just stay home and drink a lot of tea with fresh ginger root.

Is the only difference being one was called the “flu”, and the other isn’t ?

As a society haven’t we become accustomed to “flu” deaths ?

Are we currently victims of fabricated panic ?





Panic sells, follow the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Unless containment actions take place, 60% of the population could get infected, and if 2% die , then US could suffer 4 millions deaths.

That is over 1000 ‘9/11’s...

If the moon falls out of orbit and crashes into earth, we all will die. I’ll start making preparations now.

Help for a fabricated panic ............................

Had people not fallen for the hype, they wouldn’t need help.

Where was the panic and help during the Swine Flu ?

“Coming together” usually means my hard earned dollars being given to someone else.

What's the over-under? I get the math but even China has kept it way under those levels.

No, not fabricated panic. 12 to 17 thousand deaths is a lot, the swine flu was no joke, but those 12 to 17 thousand deaths were from more than 41 million cases.

Now we have about 144 thousand corona virus cases and more than 5000 deaths. This is not fabricated and it is not something we have become accustomed to. This is far more deadly than the swine flu. If 50 million people become infected it is logical to expect more than one million deaths. It will make 911 look like a garden party. The total number of American deaths in WWII was for example less than 1 million. Do what you can to protect yourself.

From what I remember people were freaking out over swine flu too. Not to the level of these massive shutdowns, but it was definitely the talk of the town.

Does it have to be future Ex, can one apply for bestest friend ever status.

At least they don’t try to take all your stuff when it doesn’t work out.

P.S. I always thought the quilted stuff was for sissies anyways. Real men can handle a rash.

This

Concern and caution, not all out panic.

But, for those that fall for the hype, maybe abundant amounts of toilet paper will wipe away the virus from their dumb as*es.

Hmmm.

Bob looks kinda thin. And he’s wearing a touque.

I think he looks unwell. Maybe a Vegan.

And he’s washed his hands so much he washed them clean away.

But I get your point.

It is nice to see that people are at least trying to understand this and keep it in perspective.

I wish more had been done sooner and people who have definitely been exposed to carriers of the virus should be tested or at least self isolate. Especially those who are in contact with large groups of people and people who are of vital importance to running the country. Yes, that includes Donald Trump.

There is a shutdown coming... These things are usually announced on weekends to help mitigate the effects. Expect a minimum of 14 days. Some 'Transportation ' companies are telling their employees to prepare.
If it does not happen, it will be a blessing.
