Should we all be worried ??
Jump to: Newest in thread
If you are fit and healthy, you will feel rubbish and flu like for a week or so.
Every body, every day should be washing their hands well, sneezing into tissues and taking precautions around vulnerable people, as with any virus, even the common cold, its deadly to a vulnerable person and you are infectious before you are symptomatic.

"I don’t leave the house, I’m not worried"
But C works for the uni, with students. And deals with them every day, all they’ve been told is to go to the doctors if anyone has flu like symptoms and has came back over from China. Yay |

"Will worrying achieve anything?
If yes, we must all worry immediately.
If no, we must all carry on as normal.
I choose the second option"
Can I walk about in a divers helmet just incase. |

It’s about a 3% fatality rate, so like bad flu. And they all had pre-existing conditions (already very ill or elderly)
And they’re still not sure it’s transferable between humans.
Practice good hygiene, look after yourself, it’ll be fine.
There’s a lot of stuff which is not fine, this isn’t yet one of them. |

You may. Just as long as you don't expect me to walk with you. 
Get some straws (not plastic of course  ) and cut your sandwiches up small though. |

"Its ridiculous. Travel in and out the country should have been stopped. Wouldnt take much for a virus to wipe out the population"
There is a billion people in China. How would you go about making sure they don't leave the country with causing a billion people to panic? |

There's been loads of viruses like this one over the years, try not to worry about it to much, but having said that one day it could be the big one 
Don't worry it'll be ok  |

Only if you had this for breakfast
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good

"I’m still waiting to die from the SARS virus "
Getting planes round Asia during that "epidemic" was bloody brilliant. They were empty, seats in the central aisle of a 747 all to myself, armrests up. Luxury |

how many virus scares have we had recently, i can think of atleast half a dozen, remember bird flue?
they all came to nothing, as a world we are good at controling these things, no point worrying, and if it soes become a problem, then you will br dead, so wont care, so carry on as normal, the worst thing we can all do is panick |

Ok, yes, it appears as if it is yet another 'deadly' virus. However, when you look at the statistics not just about how many people died but what age group they were and whether or not they had pre-existing medical conditions, then you'd find out that no relatively healthy adult has, so far, died of the new virus. It's much more dramatic for the news to say there is this new deadly virus, it has already killed so many people. But a lot of the time they fail to mention anything about the people killed as it's not sensational enough information.
Yes, I do take into account this new virus could mutate and become even more deadly to everyone, but I'll panic when I have to. |

They are more concerned it is a virus which has crossed from animal to human. If it has... and said animal(s) can be identified as the carrier they will be destroyed and the ongoing scientific studies will all of a sudden become EMERGENCY PRIORITY!
A result of the human race tinkering unknown science? |

My concern is that it has at present a mortality rate similar to flu, but if that is a true stat, then why all the fuss. Could it be that no one really believes the Chinese figures. |

"About this new virus from surprise surprise, good old China !!
14 UK tests ongoing , 5 negative and 9 unsolved tests so far .
It only takes 1 positive test and it will spread .
Good old China hey  "
I’d be more worried that the Chinese government is building a 1000 capacity hospital specifically for sufferers of this virus and I throwing so much money at that they want it built and ready within the next week. Makes you think they know a little more than letting on. Imagine the share enormity of things that have to happen for a hospital of that size to be built and up and running with in two weeks and how scared a government must be to do so and how worried are they about length of time this will impact them??? |

Good god no. Not worried in the slightest. Media hyping things up yet again.
You will have more chance of being run over when crossing a road, but do you worry about that?
Life is too short to worry unnecessarily. |

Sadly we don’t HAVE the right - we’ve taken the right!
You just have to look at animal culling, deforestation etc to see that!  |

I really dont. China with a population of 1.3billion have learned from sars.
They've communicated, with as much as they know. They continue to examine and share every aspect with the world and they've shut down the public transport systems in affected areas.
They are dealing with it as best as they can and frankly I don't think our own nhs would have been able to recognise it or alert people to it any quicker.

I’ve been a bit worried tbh as 14 students and 4 teachers from my daughters school returned home from a 2 week trip to China last week. The school have been very quiet about it but parents on the group chats and forums haven’t. I’m sure all is fine but very real that potentially my child could be mixing with others that may have contracted it (although Rationally I know highly unlikely) |

It's an important concern for the world, as it can pass from humans as well as mutate. We're lucky that we know of it before it arrives.
It's likely to be a low level problem but may be worse in future.
Feel lucky that it's not a bacterial infection that's deadly that starts wjen the world no longer has. Antibiotics. |

I was in and out of hong kong and dya bay Guangdong provence in china working during the sars outbreak back in 2002, scary times then in 02, 18 years on and prospering chinese folk traveling further and more times is even more a worry to me.
Scans, temp taking or anything else wont completely stop the spread so its going to be a hard one this time.
I think yes, we should be concerned but not overly worried just yet...
