"Apart from doing the internet equivalent of wailing, wringing your hands, tugging your hair and finally falling to your knees crying “Wake Up People” (several times) I have yet to see any forward solution or containment suggestion from you OP. We can all read the same online news reports, we have the same information, you don’t need to regurgitate it. Also, those of us reading are quite demonstrably both people and awake. Chill down a smidge. Have a pancake. Wash your hands Sneeze in a hanky and dispose of it Don’t lick strangers faces If you need to, stock pile tinned food, dig a bunker, lock yourself in and wait for the world to calm down dear.

"So a few days ago the government said no need to close schools.. now three are shut.. What's going on here peoples" People are sensibly taking precautions, you know, a sensible thing to do when there's a contagious virus about. Just before Christmas multiple schools were closed, including my daughters, because of norovirus, it's a common occurrence when there's a contagious illness around. | |||

"would boris go that far?" Yes. I think so. The truth is it's probably more likely than not that someone here will die from Covid 19. However people are able to do their bit, and so many don't. So few people wash their hands on a regular basis. What do you think the percentage of people clubbing this weekend that washed their hands when they went to the toilet is? 10%? 20%? 50%? Yet they'll be screaming out about their human rights if they are forced to stay in quarantine for two weeks. Boris, or any PM for that matter, is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. | |||

He is 49 so would not class that as elderly I could die Tommrow drive on the motorway and get killed in a accident I don't know but going on the stats so far I do not think there is any reason to be concerned Yes that’s your opinion and you are entitled to it of course, just as he is but it is a personal opinion not fact. But the current stats are facts they are not my personal opinion they are facts from the world health organisation lol I’m referring to your comment where you said he wasn’t going to die you shouldn’t say that because you don’t know ... now that IS a fact.
If it makes you feel happier I will personally pay for his funeral if he dies of Corona virus I still say he will not die"And I want you to be right obviously

The mortality rate for this virus is 20-30 times greater than flu. This has the potential to kill 1 to 1.5 million people. But no reason for anyone to panic. | |||

It’s called improvising. If you know you’ve got a cough, cold etc carry tissues with you. Dispose of them in a zip lock plastic bag which you have with you. You can then use the anti bacterial gel to clean your hands. It can be done if people think about it | |||

On the other point, kids in schools that is down to the parents. Personally, my lad hasn’t been well since last Wednesday morning. We were on holiday and isolated ourselves in the apartment and I didn’t allow housekeeping to enter.
The only time we have been outside is the journey home and then again today to collect new medicine. We didn’t go out until after 2 and was back home before schools broke up.

"7.8 billion people on the planet 2,711 deaths due to virus Average 55 milion people die every year 56,000 die from flu every year Is coronavirus being over hyped by the media ? .....who knows ." The main problem, so far, is not the number of deaths, but how easily it is being spread, and how quickly. Iran "doesnt believe" in quarantine, and given the scale and spread of visitors that visit their holy sites etc, this will probably be the worst culprit for pushing this out to the middle east. | |||

How many of those 7.8 billion have been exposed to COVID-19 in the 3 months it has been around? Last month it hadn't left China. What 56000 as a percentage of 7.8 billion? What is 2600 as a percentage of 80 000 with all outcomes still unknown.? The figures have been brought down through shutting down workplaces and schools. For how long is this sustainable? | |||

"Quoted from the above... "All you can do is to provide for your own needs and make sure that you don’t share anything unless you’re willing to accept that one handout could turn into many handouts." We had a power cut quite a few years ago, our street mostly runs on electric, with gas central heating. Power was out for 18 hours, better than the 24-48 hours the power company said it might be. We had a small gas camping stove, some candles, a few sets of batteries and a couple of torches. One of our neighbours (a friend) had a young baby, so we heated water for her, sterilised bottles etc. Other neighbours got to hear about it, and slowly the door knocks came, could we spare some hot water for a brew... and it snowballed, and soon we had to start saying no. The mood on our street changed. Threats were made. It got scary...until Mart fronted up one guy, and loudly told him, with most of the street listening in, that only those with essential needs would get any help from now on. "Any civilised society is only three missed meals away from anarchy" "In the army we were taught "A mob has the mind of a chicken". Didn't believe it till I actually saw it. It devolves to the lowest common denominator. | |||

"People say it's no worse than flu.. No country did this for flu.. Mark my words.. Wakey Wakey" Flu has vaccines, Corona doesn't. Cprona is new and we have limitex knowledge on it. It's not preventable by vaccine, it's uncertain and no one has previously caught it, with immunity. It's a possible concern due to the higher risk. | |||

"7.8 billion people on the planet 2,711 deaths due to virus Average 55 milion people die every year 56,000 die from flu every year Is coronavirus being over hyped by the media ? .....who knows ." Soz bud but seasonal flu has been around for a hell of a long time. Sure its killed more people but it affects millions and millions of people world wide and has a mortality rate of 0.5%. Corona however, is a serious issue. It’s killed nearly 3000 people out of the 80000 people that have been infected in 3 months. That’s nearly a mortality rate of 4%. If it isn’t dealt with or had been dealt with so efficiently it will be incredibly disastrous. 80000 is only speculative anyway - its a damn sight higher than that.. I’m following a GIS which is tracking the spread of the virus globally. Back at the beginning of feb the GIS reported only 6000 infected then and 136 deaths but at the same time a local in wuhan was speculating there was around 90000 cases in China alone back then. My friend is a microbiologist who’s been working on samples of a clone of nCov (they weren’t allowed to import a sample of the Wuhan strain for obvious reasons), he’s just released a protocol to sequence it. The one In China has basically come from a food market that was trading in essentially bushmeat. Coronavirus Ed often infect livestock and animals but this one has crossed the species barrier. Just google the spanish flu from 1918-1920.. They didnt have the same knowledge, technology or travel back then hence it wiping out 27% of the worlds population. | |||

Soz bud but seasonal flu has been around for a hell of a long time. Sure its killed more people but it affects millions and millions of people world wide and has a mortality rate of 0.5%. Corona however, is a serious issue. It’s killed nearly 3000 people out of the 80000 people that have been infected in 3 months. That’s nearly a mortality rate of 4%. If it isn’t dealt with or had been dealt with so efficiently it will be incredibly disastrous. 80000 is only speculative anyway - its a damn sight higher than that.. I’m following a GIS which is tracking the spread of the virus globally. Back at the beginning of feb the GIS reported only 6000 infected then and 136 deaths but at the same time a local in wuhan was speculating there was around 90000 cases in China alone back then. My friend is a microbiologist who’s been working on samples of a clone of nCov (they weren’t allowed to import a sample of the Wuhan strain for obvious reasons), he’s just released a protocol to sequence it. The one In China has basically come from a food market that was trading in essentially bushmeat. Coronavirus Ed often infect livestock and animals but this one has crossed the species barrier. Just google the spanish flu from 1918-1920.. They didnt have the same knowledge, technology or travel back then hence it wiping out 27% of the worlds population. " | |||

In the UK we have 1.5 million people over the age of 85. If there is a mortality rate of 14% in that age group then there is potential (note I said potential) for a lot of casualties. By my calculation over 200 000. That's no one I know, but I'm still concerned (not panic stricken or sitting in a bunker with a tinfoil hat) for those at risk. | |||

"I used to tease Mart a little about "being prepared".. now I'm the one thinking about buying in bottled water, tins, and pasta, just in case " Well if everyone is self isolated who is running the food factories, power plants, stocking the shelves in shops? They called the shopping in Italy 'panic buying'. But if you are going to be forced to stay in your home for 3 days shouldn't you have 3 days provisions? To me that's just common sense. | |||

The Chinese seem to have supported the expansion of businesses that have been cultivating wild animals for food and their 'medicine'. Apart from that being an awful way to treat wildlife, there have probably not been much, if any, checking on the animals and products. This, following earlier major health problems, is inhumane to their citizens, as well as the world. Known risk levels of inter-species infection jumping are substantial.
I would have elderly relatives largely isolated, giving them suitable provisions, if the hazard level increases more locally. | |||

"Apart from doing the internet equivalent of wailing, wringing your hands, tugging your hair and finally falling to your knees crying “Wake Up People” (several times) I have yet to see any forward solution or containment suggestion from you OP. We can all read the same online news reports, we have the same information, you don’t need to regurgitate it. Also, those of us reading are quite demonstrably both people and awake. Chill down a smidge. Have a pancake. Wash your hands Sneeze in a hanky and dispose of it Don’t lick strangers faces If you need to, stock pile tinned food, dig a bunker, lock yourself in and wait for the world to calm down dear. " Ditto. | |||

"6 million people have died from hunger in the last year. Please......Coronavirus is not going to kill us all "Nice. Do you have elderly relatives, or people you care about that have chronic medical conditions? I only ask as, like you said, this virus won't kilkbus all...but it may kill them. Whilst you glibly go about your usual routine, you may not take sufficient precautions, meaning you might catch it, but show no symptoms for a few days, a couple of weeks...or ever....infecting those around you. Would you be happy knowing your laysey-fair attitude, or inaction, had killed someone?  | |||

"And just to add....there is at least one proven case of someone surviving this virus, testing all clear, only to get it again. So it's different from "normal" flu, in that your body doesn't recognise it and fight it second time around. This virus could go round and round the same people." The flu does that with some people too, it's a fairly rare occurrence but it happens. In fact quite a few viral infections do that, it's less to do with the virus and more to do with the individual's body and immune system. Exactly how some people don't show any symptoms, some show a few, and some show every symptom under the sun. | |||

" It could also be genetic production of antibodies failing Much like black and tan gene in dogs means a dog cannot produce antibodies to fight parvo which is why parvo vaccines are no good. Infection would mean vaccines are no good to battle the virus. It could also be rapid mutation meaning current antibodies won't work on a new mutation. It was also stated current treatments for other coronavirus' don't work on the novel virus which is unusual. They have noted antiretrovirals for HIV and prep have been effective in treating the virus. It's quite possible the theorised evolution of the cold virus predicted decades ago. Practice good hygiene if your sick stay away from others. Use common sense. | |||
