Re: Coronavirus
It's a tough tightrope public health bodies have to walk on with things like this...
Being 'cautiously aware' and monitoring the situation is probably where we should be now but politically, it can look like nothing much is being done. Overdoing it however can have the opposite effect creating panic. If we do not do enough to prevent the spread of a nasty bug or incite panic, both can have the same effect, people will not be at work due to either the real or perceived threat. If coronavirus does have a 2% mortality rate, that's up there with spanish flu and something to be worried about if transmissibility is around the same as flu. That still isn't clear at the moment. Time to review the Governments Pandemic Flu Strategy - https://assets.publishing.service.go.../dh_131040.pdf and so a search and replace for influenza and coronavirus. Also time to review business continuity plans I think (I am lucky, I am a home worker) |
Re: Coronavirus
According to a virologist statement I have been reading:
"Again, being infected does not mean you will die. Probably not, especially if you are not 40+ man with underlying medical condition!" I hope she means "person" and that this is not a sexist virus. ;););) |
Re: Coronavirus
The fact we're all going to die from this really puts the months arguing about Brexit into perspective doesn't it?

Re: Coronavirus
Maybe people might wash their hands now? Apparently a third don't after visiting the loo. Or the numpties that proudly come coughing and sneezing over everyone in an open plan office get sacked? Simple precautions but we seem to struggle with the basics of hygiene.

Re: Coronavirus
I think the rational and sensible thing to do now is panic. I for one have purchased a year's worth of anti-bacterial hand gel and will start eating a bottle a day of it.

Re: Coronavirus
Perhaps a good time to put off ordering stuff from China on Ebay? Delivery times might be a little erratic.
