But not much substance behind that either. Either way, the message is a good one. I’m not sure anyone is “laughing” at the hysteria. But anything that convinced people to exercise caution is good. Just hoping most people will balance caution with sense. So far we are seeing what appears to be a lot of unnecessary hysteria. Ie fighting for toilet paper and such examples.

Appears slightly different here Dave, we aren’t to call the number unless we feel we need hospitalisation, so, no test, numbers therefore give a false picture. Most will never know if they definitively had it or not, strange decision. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yes it has ....first case early nov and not shared w the world until when.... What you wrote is essentially my wife they told her she had walking pneumonia we were in Europe in dec/ Jan then I was back in Europe in feb and guess what I had the same crap as her . She went through two rounds of antibiotics to finally feel better due to most likely bacterial pneumonia. For three weeks she could not breathe at all. We are talking mid 40s very active and fit. Clearly wasn’t tested then but the symptoms she had.... |

Given the time frame you have described there is basically zero chance of this being COVID-19, so in this context I would stop worrying about it |

And isn’t atypical pneumonia what started it all when the Chinese docs raised the alarm? So no one from China was traveling to Europe between early nov and early 2020 when we knew it was out there in the wild ? I can tell you we were in Paris in Jan and amongst a sea of Chinese tourists in the louvre and many other places so I don’t think there is zero chance , slim perhaps but I don’t think zero. The er doc here was concerned about her travels ...and mine |

You are almost certainly going to get COVID-19 at some point, but I can guarantee you this was not it. |

Not good. This virus will punish poor decisions. Spain was in decent shape, but now they are not.
MADRID — Just last weekend, about 120,000 people marched through downtown Madrid to celebrate International Women’s Day. Some 60,000 soccer fans filled one of the city’s largest stadiums. And 9,000 supporters of Vox, Spain’s third-largest party, gathered inside a former bullring. Now Spain has the second-highest number of coronavirus infections of any European country, after Italy — overtaking the larger nations of France and Germany — and faces the fastest spreading contagion on the Continent. Between last weekend and Friday, the number of cases in the country shot from several hundred to 4,200, with 120 deaths, and the prime minister warned that the number of cases could reach 10,000 by next week. That would give Spain one of the fastest rates of coronavirus contagion in the world. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/w...efFpfP_Fu0hgAw |

On the UK radio this afternoon I heard the initial strain in China was more dangerous than that which is now in Europe.
From what I’ve just seen coming first hand out of Italy, I wonder if that really is the case.

The Virus has been in the public domain for at least 3 months and possibly a lot longer. It is more than slightly likely that carriers of the virus were in many different countries of the world during this time, inevitably spreading it around. It is likely many people have had it and become well and never given it a thought that it was anything but a cold/flu. |

Spain is on lockdown. Jet2 jets turned back midair. Government may use emergency powers to restrict movement and ration goods.
Here are two sides of the media coin to the same effect. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...virus-lockdown https://www.foxnews.com/world/spain-...kdown-airlines

US President just stated in news conference that Monday we will be adding GB etc to Europe travel ban. He also advised American citizens not to travel domestically unless necessary.

I see the US Department of Defense has just issued an order than their personnel, families and civilian employees are not to travel by air WITHIN the US, barring medical emergency or humanitarian efforts. That is a very telling development, IMHO.
Edit: I thought it was for air travel. Apparently, it is for ALL domestic travel.

As a business owner, I’ve debated this. But it would destroy me. And the livelihood of all of my team. Fast.

It also seems like exposure level plays into the severity of illness as well. |
