I realise there are quite a few unknowns about this virus but the one thing this does tell me is if many people have got this already then the death rate will actually be lower, and hopefully much lower than the official figures.Based on the comments from footballers who have tested positive, ranging from it feeling like a cold or in some cases being asymptotic, it’s not hard to believe this. Didn’t the figures in China shoot up when they started testing everyone in hospital and not just those showing symptoms?
different bug I think - a lot of us got that oneAll the family had that horrific coughing flu over Christmas. Non stop coughing for nigh on 2 weeks. I hadn't been ill for so long (I put it down to a heavy exercise routine) but yesterday I once again came down with feeling awful. Last night I had shiver, stomach pains, sickness and muscle aches...haven't felt to rough for some time. No respiratory issues however. Perhaps it's the anxiety over all this manifesting into an illness (felt like food poisoning tbf).
If the first reported case from China was 31st December I expect this to have certainly been around from a month to six weeks earlier. And it will have been more widespread than Wuhan too.
Pretty much did do.They are your kids mate tell them to fuck off.
Yes it's hard to say as these dates also coincide with the flu season. It does make you think though. I was in Tenerife over Christmas and returned the 11th January. I started feeling Ill just before I left then I was absolutely wiped out when I got home. High fever cough and absolutely no energy. I slept for almost four days, just drinking liquid and going to the toilet in between but no food. The apartment I rented was owned by an Italian too. Nobody knows of course, still can't completely shake the cough off though.
Absolutely. We are currently practicing ‘social distancing’ which means not seeing the grandkids this week. We will miss that a lot but probably sensible.I have a 78 year old mother that lives with us, so if the kids get infected then she probably gets infected too.
I do agree that the elderly are at much greater risk but you wouldn't want to take a chance with anyone, young or old.
The problem with this theory is that no one in Tenerife died. For it to have been circulating around the world without people getting seriously ill doesn't make sense.
Wrong again? Wtf.Nope. Wrong again. The majority may be but young, healthy people are still dying from it.
