How much more worried are you now compared to a week ago?!? Will you be even more concerned in the future if the number of cases rises sharply! have you changed anything and made any preparations regarding the implications! Or do you still think that it is much ado about not much, and everything will be fine!!!!  |

Nope. Sensible precautions as with everything in life, but carry on.
Just been sent a picture of Miami airport deserted. Serious and deadly for immune deficient (note to self call ailing g folks to check up), but for the rest relax and try not to spread it. Be clean and antibacterial is useless. Use soap |

How many more blooming coronavirus threads??? Yes, it's a pandemic, yes, we have no immunity to it as it's a new virus; yes, it's going to affect a lot of people, with some deaths. How worried should we be? Look at WHO statistics and come to your own conclusion rather than following the doom and gloom media blindly. |

As a scientist I would say it is worse than flu, but it's not as scary as the media is making it to be. It seems to be deadly to elderly and those with severe illnesses. But for healthy people the severity can differ from mild to really bad like flu x |

I am more worried about the possible months of no social life and the possibility of many weeks on sick pay, than the virus.
More than the virus, many men will loose their support networks, their friends their football clubs, rugby clubs etc. This socialisation keeps many peoples unknown support networks going. With this gone and the financial implications and the depression that the isolation will cause, I am worried about men I know and hope that this doesnt cause a furthering of the epidemic of male suicide.

I think a lot of people are missing the point. It's not dying, for most of us, that will be the issue. These poor people who are immuno suppressed, or have underlying conditions must be over the moon at Boris's plan!
No, what everybody should be concerned about is the absolute hell the NHS will go through and the knock on effects this will have on the rest of us.
Businesses will suffer and the economy will suffer. Anybody who thinks this will not effect them has a bit of a rude awakening coming I think. |

Yes yes yes, my parents and alot of everyone's parents and grandparents are going to die. Children will go, and those with compromised immune systems. However, this is Fabswingers. I don't want to think about that. Is it too much to ask to suck some cock, and finger blast a bored housewife?! Ffs! |

Declaration of interests:
I work in a district general hospital
This feels different to the previous virally panicky things over the last 5-10 years (SARS, MERS, H1N1 ‘flu’.....). The ease with which it’s spreading internationally, the case fatality rate - and the amount the senior staff (and Public Health England) are worried - all trouble me.
I’ve also been keeping an eye on comments from doctors in Italy: in essence, there’s only one diagnosis that people are coming to A&E with; only one appearance on chest X-rays / scans. The mortality is high, and that *might* be due to an older population, *but* they have 2-3 times more doctors and intensive care beds and they’re *still* running out of ventilators to keep patients (and their colleagues who are now patients....) alive.
I really hope I’m over-reacting, but yes, this has me worried. We may well need to move to schools closed, and no social gatherings, within the next few days.
**Please keep an eye on Public Health England announcements, and call NHS 111 if you feel unwell.**
Look after yourselves. X |

Sorry old-school values but given population of UK is approximately 60million a death toll of 5 m would be nearer 10% than 1% that you quote but since the inept powers that be... it's all the in breeding you know,have not the faintest idea of how many if us are infected yours is simply a wild guess.
As for me I will continue to wash my hands wrap myself in toilet paper like a mummy , yes I was the one bulk buying and refuse sex unless it is covered in a condom. |

Has anyone actually said that they just don't care?
One can be aware of it and the possible consequences for loved ones and others and still not worry..
Bit like driving, being aware is paramount but worrying about every possible or potential risk whilst doing so is a bit pointless.. |

I don't have any of the linked serious illness factors that can be exacerbated by the virus, with the exception of Diabetes (T 2).
But that's been under very good control for a few years.
I'm heeding the guidelines too about cleaning hands etc.
I daresay, it's about keeping aware of your daily life, your surroundings and those around you.
My only concern are those people of all ages who obviously had parents who never taught their kids to put their hands to their face when sneezing!
I see it every day! Eejits! |

Want to know what's worrying besides the virus itself?
The virus affects a species until it mutates to another. As seen other coronavirus vaccines don't work.
They are trying animal testing but they haven't found an animal that is affected by the new mutation besides humans. In order to test the vaccine the virus has to be able to replicate in the species tested. Which it can't the new mutation is human only even though it's been seen in blood results of pets, the pets aren't affected by the virus and it passes harmlessly through them because it can't replicate or affect them as it does us.
So the government is offering to pay people willing to test the vaccines and then to be injected with the live virus to see if the vaccine works and then quarantined for 14 days. How many people desperate for money will take this offer?
To be honest they should be testing on people who need to make amends to society, murderers, r@pists, the people who gave up their right to freedom by their despicable actions they've committed. Perfect test subjects and it will be something that benefits society. Should do this with all animal testing. Seeing as government is looking to bring back the death penalty why waste perfect guineapigs. |

"Ffs anyone with half a brain would look into something like this instead of following the media its bird flu and swine flu all over again"
Is this a professional opinion or just based on a few results from Google search?
I am not medically trained.
I am not an expert in disease control.
I am not an epidemiologist.
I am a carpenter I have a small brain with a poor education in light of this I am going to have to trust what my prime minister is telling me along with his top scientific advisors.
So with that in mind I check my the gov.uk website daily. I check my local authority website daily.
My job means I visit many schools and large public buildings on a daily basis which means I come into close ISH proximity with literally hundreds of people, I am also diabetic with high blood pressure, asthma and a heart condition so thank you for your advice but I'm going to listen to actual expert's rather than some stranger on the internet pretending that they know it all as they have read it on the internet!!
Btw a known source of very reliable and trustworthy information the internet right?
Never conflicting information given here.
Obviously all the world's governments have been duped y a worldwide scam and all the nae sayers poo pooing coronavirus are far more educated and knowledgeable than some professor who has been studying infections diseases for years.
Right?
So if it's ok with you lot I am going to carry on worrying and being careful, I will go about my daily routine but I will proceed with caution and I will worry and I will continue to listen to the advice given by professionals.
Peace and love to you all and wishing you all no ill will stay clean, stay healthy x |

"Want to know what's worrying besides the virus itself?
The virus affects a species until it mutates to another. As seen other coronavirus vaccines don't work.
They are trying animal testing but they haven't found an animal that is affected by the new mutation besides humans. In order to test the vaccine the virus has to be able to replicate in the species tested. Which it can't the new mutation is human only even though it's been seen in blood results of pets, the pets aren't affected by the virus and it passes harmlessly through them because it can't replicate or affect them as it does us.
So the government is offering to pay people willing to test the vaccines and then to be injected with the live virus to see if the vaccine works and then quarantined for 14 days. How many people desperate for money will take this offer?
To be honest they should be testing on people who need to make amends to society, murderers, r@pists, the people who gave up their right to freedom by their despicable actions they've committed. Perfect test subjects and it will be something that benefits society. Should do this with all animal testing. Seeing as government is looking to bring back the death penalty why waste perfect guineapigs."
Holy shit, your saying "potentially" kill people by testing on them? |

I'm concerned for the effect on economy. And the NHS. A lot of nurses have school aged children, if schools close how are they meant to work? I also believe that NHS staff should be offered regular testing. A number of my colleagues are currently ill but we are all in work. This self excluding thing from today that Boris has said it's just not suitable without testing our managers expect us in and they are not testing those that are doing the self excluding 7 day thing as boris said not to ring 111. |

They will not be bringing back the death penalty. Neither are they looking to. Perhaps they have one or two who support it but it will not be coming. |

My worry is that the major hospital near me, struggles anyway and regularly has patients queuing in the corridors in A & E. Don’t see where patients who need hospital treatment will go, when the bed capacity is so dire already in this country. |

The issue with the virus is that at triage in Emergency, the stretched medical system will have to start prioritising patients who are likely to survive over those who will die. Those likely to die is currently at age 50.
Hence it’s easier to just self - isolate and practice proper hygiene.

"
people who are 50 are not likely to die. For everyone of every age group the chance of dying is lower than the chance of survival.
If people stopped running round like headless chickens and going to GP surgeries and A&E with very minor symptoms, the strain on the NHS would reduce massively.
Follow the guidance given, only contact 111 if your symptoms are becoming concerning and self isolate if you have a fever and/or a new continuous cough. |

Your maths indicates that there's 625million people living in the UK which is bobbins.
But other than that I'm concerned about those vulnerable to the virus physically and about the financial implications of these measures that have to be taken (as I imagine are the majority of the population)

"I am more worried about the possible months of no social life and the possibility of many weeks on sick pay, than the virus.
More than the virus, many men will loose their support networks, their friends their football clubs, rugby clubs etc. This socialisation keeps many peoples unknown support networks going. With this gone and the financial implications and the depression that the isolation will cause, I am worried about men I know and hope that this doesnt cause a furthering of the epidemic of male suicide.

Also "5million additional deaths" is wrong. The stats for death from old age/lung problems/cancer will go down as Covid-19 will be listed as the cause of death instead. There will likely be some untimely deaths however. |

Are we worried?
I suppose now we have to say yes, a little.
Over the last few days/weeks we haven't really bothered so much.
However from now on we have to take it seriously.
In the short term we are wondering if we will be able to fly home a week on Monday. Flight cancellations and border closures are starting to ramp up and it is possible we could be stuck in Spain.
Long term it is looking likely that someone we know is going to get it, maybe even we will.
Although we are not seriously ill we have both had some health problems and we are both over 60 so that is a worry as well.
More relevant to this site is that we have now put our swinger life on hold. We did actually go to a club this week but that will be our last for some time. Hopefully not forever. |

Most of my family and myself could be taken out by this and yes I would miss them terribly. However we've all got to go sometime and it's good for the human population as a whole. That which does not kill us and all that.
I am a tad worried about the economy and the markets though as that could do long-term damage to pensions etc. |

"I think a lot of people are missing the point. It's not dying, for most of us, that will be the issue. These poor people who are immuno suppressed, or have underlying conditions must be over the moon at Boris's plan!
No, what everybody should be concerned about is the absolute hell the NHS will go through and the knock on effects this will have on the rest of us.
Businesses will suffer and the economy will suffer. Anybody who thinks this will not effect them has a bit of a rude awakening coming I think.
Yes yes yes, my parents and alot of everyone's parents and grandparents are going to die. Children will go, and those with compromised immune systems. However, this is Fabswingers. I don't want to think about that. Is it too much to ask to suck some cock, and finger blast a bored housewife?! Ffs!"

I totally agree with this. I’ve found in the UK British people tend to practice very poor hygiene.
- Men in bathrooms almost never wash or dry their hands after a piss
- People in shared workspaces openly cough at screens, with “debris” going on keyboards and mice
- not washing vegetables and fruit before eating it. |

"A NATIONAL CRISIS! As the government described it today now seems to be all consuming with wall to wall media coverage! Chief Scientific Advisor stated that up to 80% (worst case scenario)of the population may catch it with a 1 in a hundred death rate equates to approximately 5million additional deaths in the UK alone, over the next 6months
How much more worried are you now compared to a week ago?!? Will you be even more concerned in the future if the number of cases rises sharply! have you changed anything and made any preparations regarding the implications!

Yes, I think this is where the real damage will happen. Not today, or even this summer, but in the long term.
There is huge awareness of this virus, and people taking notice. Because the likelihood is it will effect us all in some way.
However, if the same awareness was there for societies real ills, and the same money invested, then the world would be a much better place.
Mental health, domestic abuse, any number of much more damaging issues get swept under the carpet. Both in terms of awareness and funding. Why?
Because we all think it won't happen to us, so we don't make a fuss as government money is reduced and services are cut.
A bit of panic, media hysteria, and the realisation it will affect "me" and the money appears. It's why anti-terrorist stuff gets cash thrown at it, when the actual risk is much lower to us all than, for example, suffering domestic abuse (yes even the blokes).
Maybe we should all get more vocal about the really dangerous pandemics out there...
Sorry, rant over. |

I'm not at all concerned for myself, I'm young, strong, fit and handsome (only two of those are true ) but I am concerned for my sister. She has a punctured lung from a recent vehicle accident and even normal flu could cause severe problems. Yesterday, I refused to take her to the store with me, so I had to live-stream nearly the entire stock so she could choose what she wanted |

Personally I’m not worried. If I catch it, I catch it. I’m fit and healthy and not in the demographic where the mortality rate gets much higher. If I don’t catch it, I don’t catch it. *shrugs*
I am concerned about my parents and the wider community as a whole. I imagine something akin to the Blitz spirit will get us through. |

On a lighter note, I've come up with a way to reduce transmission of the virus.
Touching your face is the worst thing isn't it?
Therefore, make everyone in the country dip their fingers in chopped chillies. Regularly, through the day.
It'll also discourage them from touching their balls I've just discovered... |

If everybody tries to adopt the mind set that they have it and don’t want to spread it then we can reduce the load on the NHS and buy some time. |

I've not been too worried about the whole virus thing, but lately I'm more concerned how it's it's showing the selfish streak we all have.
Modern society is flawed as it constantly encourages competition and "look after number one" mentality. We are seeing people literally freak out and panic, the first thing they do is not say "let's beat this as an intellectual progressive society" nooo...It's let's stockpile?
If it gets a lot worse, that 'stuff' will run out, then what? Will we band together? Or start raiding people's homes and businesses.
Where did we go so wrong.

This really! It’s the effect on the global and local economy that concerns me most. If the ‘precautionary measures’ that many countries are taking continue longer term than we’ll have a global slump/crisis. |

As the world slowly shuts down county by county I admit I am worried -
As the shelves at the supermarkets empty I worry about how to feed my family
We are luckily in a position where we can word from home if need be
Yes the flu kill a lot of people and so does cancer etc etc ... but this new virus is in addition to that
As someone who suffers with asthma and so does my son I am concerned as there will not be a vaccine ready for the general public until at least next year

And we don't know how many will die from coronavirus, at this moment.

"The symptoms are like a mild cold...well they were for me.

Like with most mid to low viruses, symptoms are varied from person to person. Generally symptoms caused by a virus are caused by the body immune system fighting the virus, not caused by the virus itself.
Some people will seem to have little more than a cold, some people will be stuck in bed with lack of energy, and some will have critical reactions and need medical assistance. |
