"There’s no evidence of it being transmitted by sex, indeed it’s entirely possible the chlorine in the chams jacuzzi would kill it so that might be the only safe place to be!"
??? erm you still breath in clubs or sneeze or touch people ... sperm will carry as will most fluids from the body |

There seems to be quite a bit of evidence of fecal transmission though
And if you got close enough to a carrier to have sex with them, you’d have it too sexual transmission or not! |

Going against the flow, yes I think I might well give next months visit a miss. If I get it it's one thing but then I will probably give it to someone else, my wife has a bad heart so if she got it the outcome might be bad, it might not either but I'm not going to take that risk. I'll just wait until things clear up, it won't be long, I can wait  |

"No, because it's overhyped rubbish by the media. Influenza had killed 5 times many more people by this time last year, did we self isolate then? "

Yes but how many people caught the flu? Millions. This virus is not even 4 months old. This does not replace the flu. It's just one more thing that can affect you. It doesn't have to kill you to affect you. It can force you to self isolate, close your workplace, stop your kids going to school, affect travel and if your pension is in stocks it's probably taking a dive right now. |

Is it a concern? Yes
Is it as big a concern as some are making it out to be? No
Will it stop me doing anything as it currently stands? Not at all
Will I keep myself informed with developments and review my position if necessary? Absolutely
Is there any current need to panic? Not at all
Do I have faith that the right actions are being taken to contain it? Yes I do
Should anyone do differently to the above? Up to them entirely, but there's not a great deal more that we as individuals can do apart from to keep ourselves informed and follow any guidelines. |

"Anybody keeping away from clubs no the Virus is beginning to take hold?"
It was probably here back in October Nov, and Dec, everyone seem to have the flu remember. Alot of tv and radio presenters were looking and sounding rough. No one in WHO or this country batted an eyelid. Back in Autumn 2015 a flu virus was knocking people out on their feet including myself, and I don't get disabledby flu normaly not much was said about that.
If your susceptible your more likely to be affected. Know your body's limits and you'll be ok.

You really need to educate yourself.
It’s both more infectious and more deadly than the flu |

Might do. Also wasging my hands a lot more and really paying attention to washing them and also more conscious about touching my face, I work with lots of people, coming into contact with over 100 people a day so it's something I need to be aware of. |

By sensible I meant our outlook. By this I mean not going to the extremes, as many have done by either dismissing COVID-19 as nothing or being worried sick about it.
Personally, I am one of the lucky ones who works from home so there really isn't much I can do. Time is money for me so when I go out to shop it's usually to buy a lot of food at a time so I consider myself prepared.
There isn't much you can do to prevent acquiring the virus, there's quite a lot you can do to stop spreading it if you think you have it. |

Not wanting to speak for anyone else, but I worked in the NHS when swine flu was here. The pathetic over reaction and the amount of pointless swine flu clinics that were introduced wasted millions of pounds of public money, and thats not even taking into consideration of the amount of wasted stock piles (and I mean rooms full) of wasted vaccines.
The over reaction was so bad, they employed security guards where I worked to protect the clinics because of the possibility of vaccines being stolen, so yes this is swine flu all over again, utterly overhyped by the media as the most you're likely to have is a mild cough, crazy!! |

Yes, but a sensible approach instead of blowing things up out of proportion and scaremongering, and not wasting millions in public cash. |

And considering we live in a country with a significant elderly population that's potentially a huge amount of extra work coming up for the health service.
With a lot of knock on effects for everyone. |

I don't think many people are thinking this through. Boris was on telly tonight saying how great the NHS is and that they will cope with this. We laughed, they struggled with the flu season this winter, add another factor in and it means the poor NHS staff will be at the short end. The answer apparently is to bring doctors and nurses out of retirement...so elderly people. Those in one of most at risk groups will be deployed to help with it. If I wrote that in a book you'd accuse me of making it up |

Oh yes. And squeezing even more kids into classrooms makes sense because it's well know that they don't transmit bugs  |

yeah, that one made us laugh too. We're going to close schools to prevent the spread but if teachers are off we're limiting class sizes to 60. . 60 kids in a classroom doesn't bear thinking about from any point of view but from an infection control point of view you might as well forget it |

I just read a very interesting article about the last two epidemics which as you say we were overprepared for. It might lead to us being hesitant to prepare as much as we would have otherwise... what fo you think? I don't know. |

I'm told by the doctors I work with - COVID19 is very infectious and the death rate is 20 times influenza. It's still low (2%) but influenza has a 0.1% death rate. So a balanced approach is sensible- avoid crowds but don't have to lock oneself up in a room either. Keep hands clean, don't shake hands. Sex - yes if your partner is infected you'll definitely get it so ask about symptoms but if your partner has none he/she could still transmit during kissing etc. I can't give up on sex so some risk has to be acceptable. The rest is luck. |

I agree with common sense approach. If you happen to suffer from a chronic health condition which renders you more vulnerable it makes sense to take more precautions than say someone who is at peak health.
However if this thing really takes old then it may well prove almost impossible to eliminate the risks. |
