Three.
I admire the tenaciousness of your stomach bud.
Why didn't Western countries do what the WHO suggested...
Test every single sick person, for those people who test positive test their contacts etc. No one did this despite South Korea doing exactly this and decimating the virus.
We now know that a large amount of people who have the virus never show any symptoms so it was impossible to contain by testing.
It was also impossible to screen people at airports.
The only way to get on top of this is to shut down the entire country and I don't think governments who didn't have a run in with SARS were every going to do that quickly enough.

It’s hard to know what it was but we’ve realised the symptoms are the exact same as the Coronavirus.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s been here for longer than they said.
Must admit we've wondered about some sort of virus we had. It could have been flu but I did have the flu jab. However, the flu jab does not protect against every strain of flu. I didn't have a fever although it felt like I did but my wife definitely had a high temperature. Wouldn't say either of us got breathless. I'd be more suspicious that it could have been CV19 if my wife had had it first as she had been to Bicester Village but I came down with if first; not that I had any time off work.

Weird isn't it? SARS wasn't that long ago and I can remember it was nothing at all like this, not even remotely.

It’s impossible to tell now mate but I reckon there’s a chance some people may have had it prior to Xmas.

475 deaths in a, single day in Italy. That's frightening.
