No it doesn’t. It helps people know where it came from and how to prevent this from happening again.
Supermarket play a role in this IMHO, I know in some places they limit the number of items allowed for certain things but greed will always prevail, some of them are rubbing their hands because they're exploding their profits.
Same for me, started work for NHS at Leeds General Infirmary Thursday, been traveling back to Bradford and it’s been pretty quiet for me. Seems like most are paying attention but obviously some won’t. Saw a few but not a lot on public transport (My only way to get to work) I noticed it was all older people. I’ve seen some in this thread mention elderly getting on public transport and shopping. Gotta say based on the 4 buses and 2 trains I got, walking round Leeds, it was mostly older people sitting next to each other too.
I think accurately locating patient 0 isn't a great use of resources at the moment. Currently the global concentration needs to be on mitigating the spread and developing the vaccine.
Once it is under control, the investigations into how it spread/started should be conducted in order to learn lessons. It's just priorities.

I stopped at 13 because if it gets to him the world is over.
Italy, Spain and Iran are scary. It's heartbreaking to see the amount of people that are dying around the world of this. Everybody that dies is somebodies father, mother, uncle and aunt. I'm more scared about losing somebody that I care about than I am of dying myself and I don't think that I'm bulletproof in this as I have preexisting conditions or what ever it is that they call them.
A lot of registrar-level doctors I know now especially in hospital are twiddling their thumbs due to cancellation of outpatients. Wondering why we're not receiving PPE training, or training around looking after intubated patient on ventilator or anybody with COVID like symptoms. Now would be the perfect time to run through simulations etc but instead we're just waiting for the tidal wave in April where it will be chaotic and directly impact patient care.
Dont understand the penic buying. At most you self isolate for 2 weeks.
So day one go and buy 2 weeks worth of groceries. By day 8 you'll have ate a week, so go and buy another weeks worth.
You'll always have more or less 2 weeks stock on hand.
There's no call to buy a months worth of food every week. Its physically impossible to get through.

You guys need to rap Nancy in cotton wool until this is over.
Some people are being asked to isolate for 12 weeks.
You need a ventilator for that
Those people arent the ones in the shop panic buying.
People are idiots though. I was in Sainsbury's yesterday and the toilet roll aisle was decimated, what was left? Boxes and boxes of Kleenex....for a respiratory virus...
Unless people cough out their arse, they're selfish morons.
Another day, and we continue to trend almost identically to the Italian trend line. Hopefully the measures will kick in soon.
I’m a virologist
Their combined weight is close to 1000 pounds
True.
This is exactly what is going to happen all over Europe starting in 1 or 2 weeks.
From the live site I track everyday from this day last week. It was 16000 new cases and 700 deaths worldwide today it’s 26000+ and 1775 deaths and loads of countries haven’t updated fully yet. This is getting incredibly serious incredibly quick
What's the obsession with toilet paper ? I don't get it. I'd rather use soap and water to clean my private parts extensively anyway and wash my hands like crazy after.

I think people need to psychologically prepare themselves for this. It’s only the beginning.

Seems like a responsible thing for a professional virologist to do. 10/10.
Median age in Africa is 20. 1 under 20 died in China. So because of demographics they have it easier. median age in italy is 46 I think.
That's crazy. such waste of life.
This. At best you could only have three weeks food in your fridge and freezer. Then it goes off as well after some time has elapsed.
If you wanted to ride this thing out and go full hermetic and live off the radar for two years you would need a house sized freezer. Even still milk only lasts about six months frozen. Bread as well.
But probably many will have to fight it off without medical assistance and in many cases without medicine.
It hasn't even started. Flu global figures:
"Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year."
The thing is the Corona cases are bound to be much, much higher than reported as most of us are not being tested.
