COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[purplenose]

Can think of a few who wouldn’t be missed....

I find myself disagreeing with a few posters on various issues, indeed there are one or two I think are cunts, and one who I would gladly kick straight in the bollocks,

Wishing death by Coronavirus is however a bit harsh.

What with Mazarellis Swiss Cheese having booked most of the forum into Gravitas and you dispensing death by Corona there will be no fucker on here in six months.

Hallelujah! Brexit has been and gone, this gives all the meedya something to get their jaws into again. We had the same thing with sars, the same thing with ebola, the same thing even with hiv. The fatality rate is 1%, and for most people the symptoms would be 'mild to moderate'. It's nothing more than a media frenzy and a chance for government to look like they're taking control and dealing with a crisis that really isn't a crisis.

It's a load of bollocks and may god strike me down if I I'm wrong.

Christ almighty.

If we're all coughing our guts up on our death beds then I'll take it all back.

Christ almighty indeed.

Virtually all medical opinion was that Ebola could be a big problem in Africa but not in developed health systems.
SARS was a lucky escape, they got on top of it early and it turned out to be less infectious than was initially thought.
If you were gay in the 80's or 90's you would have lost a lot of friends to AIDS fortunately pharma discovered effective treatment.

And so the polarisation of opinions begin; my instincts tell me this may be considerably worse than ‘ this is just another cold’ brigade..hope I’m on the wrong side of opinion here.

You don't see much media about 100m Americans being pre diabetics which fuck up their lives financially and physically for life. Throw in cancer, heart disease, regular flu too.

Anyway, a lot of politics going on everywhere so media are having a field day

There is a lot of money to be made, people panic buying, ripping off people with masks and hand sanitizers, people waiting to hop on the markets when its rock bottom, hospitals billing patients thousands for testing, pharmaceutical companies making a quick miracle drug etc

I've stocked up on 200 tins of beans and 20kg of jasmine rice just to jump on the bandwagon. We shall see we if this thread is still going come late summer

There has been a lot in the media about diet and diabetes to my mind.

You think so man? It surprises me people don't know much about it until they get it. Id be more worried if one of my family members got that than corona, and all the others (minus the flu which is normal)

One does not preclude the other, personally I would rather avoid both.
