Can anyone on this post honestly say they are helping in any way?

Not in my opinion. People are just discussing.

Some are discussing, some are projecting their own irrational anxieties.

Are you trying to help here or just adding to the end of civilisation vibe?

Help. Too many 'it's just social media hype' posts.
It's not.
If your quarantined isolate yourself.
If you feel sick stay home.
This is far far too serious to just dismiss as people overreacting.
They're not.

It's been and gone.

Yes, but there is a time lag for symptoms to appear, testing, etc., etc.

I suspect there are many more than 2 people on this island with the virus!

Looking at Worlometers, there are significantly more recovered cases than active cases worldwide this morning. Hopefully a trend that will continue.

Probably cause China has peaked but the rest of the world still in early stages

Simon Harris is doing a fantastic job. He is effectively engaging the virus in hand to hand combat.

He must be talking it to death!

Well, we are nearly two weeks on from mid-term and it's only the Italian ski trips that seem to pose any risk.

I don't believe a syllable coming out of the mouths of those vile and disgusting savages in the Communist Party.

Poll from the UK. 54% weren't taking any extra steps to protect themselves, while only 35% were heeding advice to wash their hands and use hand sanitizer. God, it really shows a large number of the human race can be thick, ignorant and downright selfish when it comes to it. Attitudes are probably similar in alot of countries in all fairness.

I am not sure yet another post with a 2 choices question attempting to categorise a poster in a (negative) bucket makes the discussion more interesting.

If you see my posts I’d say they’ve been discussion on topic, but I let you make your own opinion.

Was in gym yesterday and noticed a lot more than usual cleaning down machines and using gel. I can see their point in not changing behaviour because of something that might happen, when they've never had any bother before.

Hand sanitizer doesn't kill all viruses. It's bacteria that you are confused with. Why keep washing your hands while people are flying around the world spreading the virus. Unless airports and points of entry are closed its pointless.

Craig123 · 03-03-2020 09:43AM

Lads, this it's only in Italy where we will be having issues from is nonsense.

I'm in Frankfurt airport at the moment, I had to for work.

Swear every 5th person is near coughing up a lung.

I just keep moving areas.

This is really serious.I know it was before people are dying, but it will be very widespread all across our place soon I'd say.

Only a handful of people I've seen with masks.

I'm not trying to scaremonger

Just I got a fright myself with how prevalent it is here.

There are multiple eye-witness accounts in this thread of shops that have not been striped bare by panicked locusts. Buying hand gel in the circumstances isn't panic either, it's actually a very rational response to recommendations to do precisely that. The dearth in shops that has resulted is because they weren't prepared for the sudden surge in demand. Taking rational precautionary measures isn't panic. If people were breaking into places to loot masks, that would be panic.

Thank you; you beat me to it !

Many here have stocked with extra food in case we are ordered/.recommended into self-isolation, and that is common sense .

And doing this early as many here have done is giving shops time to restock to cater for those who do not prepare then panic. Rational and wise

TBH it's the unknowns about this virus that makes it all the more dramatic. Outside some very hot zones and the unfortunate numbers who have died it, it's headlines because of how many countries it has hit.

Ah here, it still makes a difference. Anti-viral handwashes are available. Individuals need to show a bit of responsibility.

Id be staying out of gyms from now tbh. In a few mths that they will be a nightmare for trying to contain this. Mass should probably be banned also

It's highly likely we'll see another spike in China (if we ever get true figures) with all the people living cheek by jowl. All it took was an act of idiocy from two individuals in Korea to generate another major cluster in Daegu. It was a manageable situation before that.

Kermit.de.frog · 03-03-2020 09:46AM

Big numbers in South Korea today.

They could more likely have a flu or cold no?

I think the Chinese would rather nuke Wuhan from orbit than admit another outbreak.

OK I'm going to work today and tomorrow to clear some stuff up but I can get five days of sick leave for an illness that's flying around at the moment which is a danger to the pregnant staff, a few other colleagues have it so it might get the school closed if several staff are off.

Next Tuesday if we go back I'd imagine we'll have a much more serious situation.

Hector Savage · 03-03-2020 09:49AM

Getting really sick of the bad news tbh, wish I could just hibernate for 3 months ..

Hand sanitizer doesn't kill all viruses. Has anyone actually came out and said that the sanitizer beside the talcom powder in centra will kill the Corona virus?

You can sanitize all you like but if someone flies in from an infected area and is in close contact with your good self you might pick up the virus.

Telling people that they have some kind of control or defence is to stop the masses panicking.

There is no vaccine, the virus is spreading.
Close the airports or else expect infection to spread.

Thanks for signing up just to tell us that.

The Pope, who is ill, tests negative for the virus, says an Italian newspaper
