Very good except Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus. I think the article used the term DNA to try and indicate that RNA is DNA like.

So one day in and possibly two and it is a fact we are way over

Let's see, I do not actually doubt it is coming to that, but some do like to rush in with the bad news as if they ae doing us all a favour

Just my view.

It’s going up exponentially not linearly. Within a few days it will be 2000 a day. So yes, way over.

Serial killers would be at a loss too. Not withstanding the personal contact one would have to come into with a victim, how are they supposed to prowl areas with a lockdown coming?

It’s a bummer. I’d only just finished putting fake Ocado Delivery signs on my van.

tbh I dont know why they didnt isolate the old and vulnerable and let the rest of us continue to provide the support and food and services that the vulnerable and old will need.

I have neighbours who now cannot buy milk, the delivery hasnt happened, the delivery firm have people off sick.

Really think we've gone nuclear on this and it is causing many more issues.



Dont go too hard on me guys, it's just my opinion at the moment having been shopping and seen the carnage
