Probably a debate for the US/UK politics threads this discussion but to say we've had leadership with Boris is a joke. He didnt attend a Cobra meeting till March, was attending mass gatherings in the midst of the outbreak, and even shook hands with coronavirus patients ffs. Nobody in this country should look to him for leadership. If anything, do the complete opposite.

Politics thread, yes, but name me a PM who has attended 1/4 of COBRA meetings? There aren't any.

My so had a lot of the symptoms early January which we were assuming was too early, and probably it was. But saw this so it’s not impossible.

“

• A patient in France had coronavirus on 27 December, a recent testing of a swab taken at the time has shown. That would mean coronavirus came to Europe almost a month earlier than previously thought
• https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-52526554

Given the way viruses mutate only a conceited fool would rule out the possibility.

Is this correct ?

coronavirus airborne?
There is some debate about whether the disease is airborne – there is no evidence for it yet, but that could change. Airborne viruses linger for a longer period of time than those spread by droplets and can also be spread in air conditioning and ventilation systems.

The current advice is that the disease can only be spread between close contacts – defined as spending more than 15 minutes within 2m of an infected person.

Update on point 2:
The risk of catching Covid is 30 times higher at 1 metre apart rather than 2 meters apart. For example the following risks are equivalent:
- Two metres apart for 1 minute; AND
- One metre apart for 6 SECONDS.

Doesn’t that make it 10x higher?

That would mean it was in France in early December. Which is entirely possible except none of the data appears to back this up.

How the hell could this be possible? Was this virus circulating amongst the healthy population either with no symptoms or mild symptoms which were written off as just a bad cold or the flu? Deaths amongst the elderly or vulnerable written off as pneumonia or flu related? Why wasn’t there a massive number of cases showing up at hospitals? Unless the mortality rate is lower than we believe at present? This actually presents more questions than answers.

Makes me think when I'm running past people and their odour is present a few metres away when I go past them (fresh laundry, perfume, aftershave).
Not sure what the 'weight' of a 'Chanel' particle is compared to a CV19 particle but they're obviously floating around for some time...sillage I think they call it...
