COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[urban genie]

We have had outbreaks before (saudi 2012)

Is it as serious as the news is scare mongering or like other virus outbreaks gonna be over not long after it starts.

 

[Scottyboi]

I think it is more serious than the current communist party are letting on.

 

[BlueHammer85]

What actually is it ?

[Scottyboi]

Not enough beds at the moment but wow the chinese government are fast, building a 1000 bed hospital in 6 days.

 

[Blue Mist]

Hell I was glad my mam couldn't afford to buy it back in the 60's if this is what it does to you.

 

[blueinsa]

Like the real life plague game on your phone this shot and genuinely scary.

This isn't your simple flu mutation imo and could be very serious.

The positive thing is getting the virus isn’t terminal. 41 people out of 1,200 infected so far have died and the vast majority being elderly and having previous respiratory issues.

The BBC is saying only one younger and healthier person, who’s a doctor, has died so far.

SAR, MERS, and the common cold are all forms of a coronavirus.

Something I never knew till today.

 

[Ban-jani]

I’ve had a cold since new year, think I was unfortunate enough to pick one up, get rid and pick another up immediately afterwards. As such my chest is a bit fucked and breathing hasn’t been what it usually is.

If I end up with this thing I might have had it.

 

[waspish]

Not arsed one bit.

I think we forget at times just how many do die worldwide all the time from the flu and as you say its the elderly, very young and those with underlying conditions normally.

Think these types of virus are all mutations of each other and constantly changing, hence why we have never been able to cure the common cold.

 

[waspish]

Not had a cold for 2 years I just get a bunged up head no coughing or sneezing

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I'm in Malaysia and it's just spread here. People putting limes in their beer everywhere.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

You dodged a bullet, man. Dandelion and burdock ruined my life.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I drank a lot of Corona, patrticularly dandelion and burdock, but it never made me ill.

 

[marco]

well if it spreads in the uk it could stop the dippers winning the title

 

[Super David Silva 21]

Think there's been a few cases reported in France.
