SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
They're probably rounding up the infected and throwing them into a gulag
On a serious note: it's a bit worrying whenever a country hides it's response to crisis.
We aren't half bad I can agree to that.
Quite a few in here are so adamant the government is correct they'll be able to offer him the answers I'm sure
"We're going to have a national emergency, the best emergency of any country, wait til you see, it's going to be beautiful, and we're gonna have the best economy through all the emergencies"
Hopefully. Remind me of the mortality rate on over 70s
They're saying in India that shite can help combat it so just pop a finger up and then bite your nails.
As they say in India, get it India.
If the body developed immunity after being sick then it could(!) have been a viable strategy. While there have been cases of assumed reinfection(not confirmed iirc) and that children could develop short term immunity, there is not enough research or data to implement this herd immune strategy.
Also, the more people that get infected, the likelihood of a mutation increases. And there is no guarantee that the people having contracted the current n-Cov will be immune to the hypothetical mutated one.
High risk, but is there a high gain?
Come on mate, I'm sure you get what the situation is.They're probably rounding up the infected and throwing them into a gulag

Look how vulnerable Europe looks because of this crisis. Russia is protecting itself, I think that is pretty obvious.
So, predictably, my university has just cancelled all face to face teaching with feck all consideration of how they're going to do that. All staff are expected to make materials available for students to learn online starting Monday and the advice for how to do that will be sent round on, err, Monday.
It's the right decision, but the incredibly botched implementation just underlines the questions I was asking yesterday about what the feck they'd been doing.

It's all to play for Geoff...
Trump clearly has the virus.
I mean there is a reason Anthony Costello offers them as questions. He knows that he's not got the answers either. Scrutiny and challenge is good. Acting like you have all the answers is not.
No Elite leaders will get taken out by this - Trump, Boris, Putin etc. It's obvious. This era belongs to these misery bringing feckers for whatever reason.
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
It's going to be such a shit show here.
Can you imagine his ego if he keeps managing to avoid it?
My partner met with him to media train him before the cameras went live although thankfully a few months ago now
If Trump dies from the virus, uh.. it'll still be looked back on as a bad thing, overall, right? Just checking.
Trump and Liverpool 19/20 double.
The thing is, Trump probably won't have the coronavirus. Teflon Don
I have a cold that wont go away. I hope it is not the virus. My mother says it is just a normal cold.
I have not had a cold in god knows how long and i do be cycling every day in the winter months.
Then suddenly this virus comes along and i get a cold. The coincidence just seems too big.

It was my manager but he got the call from the area manager apparently (his boss).
Stay safe Bernie 
and besides the WHO receives EU funding so its all a remoaner plot to foil brexit or something like that
I had the flu two years ago. It was genuinely the worst week of my life, but it was nothing like a cold. You usually don't have a runny/blocked nose if you have the flu. It's the fever and body aches that encompass your whole body, rather than being a condition more localised to your head.
Once you have had the flu, you will never confuse a common cold and flu-type illnesses ever again.
Edit: missing 'than'

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has tested negative for the coronavirus, his son told Fox News on Friday following media reports that his father, who recently met with U.S. President Donald Trump, had tested positive.
“The test is negative,” Eduardo Bolsonaro told Fox News Channel in an interview.
The news follows some confusion today after local media in Brazil reported that Bolsonaro had tested positive.
Bolsonaro himself has lashed out on Twitter at ‘Fake news.’

This coronavirus just gets worse and worse.
which uni?
Carnage awaits.
UEA. Although there's been a fair few others today who have made the same decision.
He's probably had speeches recorded so they can lie and say he's still alive.
Current guidance is to self isolate for 7 days if you have:
- a high temperature
- a new continuous cough
Yep. I've had the flu twice in my life and it's next level shit. Never knew my body could release so much water. Worst thing was I couldn't taste beer. Wasted a damn good IPA that week.
Doesn't seem like a coincidence at all. And by that I mean you were obviously due for a cold.
I thought Norfolk was one of the few Counties with (officially) no cases?
Always ahead of the curve up there despite talking funny. Think I'm gonna move to Norwich in the foreseeable.
Yeah I got the flu for the first time in my life 2 years ago as well and it floored me. Literally. Spent the week sleeping on the toilet floor
