Isn't long-distance running really bad for your immune system?
Too much exercise or too little is bad. Hard to know how to find the middle ground i guess.

I was only there to make the tea.Look at Steve here boasting that he can right
Clearly a Taoist.Ah, yes. Yoda. The famous Buddhist ***********.
I don't have the corona virus as I have none of the symptoms but I am so ill, I didn't think it was possible literally not be able to consume a drop of water without throwing it back up. Been this way since of the middle of last night. Hopefully just a 24 hour bug.
Feel like this presumably makes me a bit more high risk, so heightening the lockdown. Fortunate that I'm in a position to work from home!
I also passed my Inglish exam.Look at Steve here boasting that he can right
Yes, if some people won't follow the rules, you have to make them follow the rules in situations like these.We had the same curfew until today, but it was increased to 5pm to 5 am, starting tomorrow.
They also said that, if people keep disobeying it, the curfew will be between 5pm to 1pm, so you would have only four hours per day available to go out.
Personally, I'm just sorry they did not implement it sooner.
Putin in wrong data.Anyone know why the number of cases in Russia is so low in comparison to Europe? I understand this may be a very dumb question so apologies in advance.
Everything is going according to the plan

I'm too drunk to work it out but you've got daily and total deaths mixed up somewhere on that chart.
"Benign neglect", indeed.
I was really hoping for more positive news from here but I guess we'll have to wait a little longer.Lombardia now banning outside exercise completely and closing down vending machines, according to the BBC. I expect that’ll be brought in across the country before too long.
Some things, like hand sanitizer will be easy for a distillery, and a craft gin distillery for example, would be able to shift to producing it more or less overnight.A lot of business are helping out in terms of brewers now producing hand sanitizer and some manufacturers sharing their designs etc.
Is it really that simple to hand over and replicate? Amazing if so.
Seems like a responsible thing for a professional virologist to do. 10/10.
The UK govt have been reactive to the whole situation from the start. They need to be proactive now & enforce a lockdown before it spirals completely out of control. Simply asking people to avoid interaction isn’t going to work.
Sorry for my complete ignorance:
At the writing class I went to last week, a lady sat next to me & halfway through the class, she mentioned that she'd just returned from India after four weeks. Should I be worried about my health? Or hers even?
I think that Neil Ferguson guy was one of the first to realise that Covid 19 was being transmitted from human to human. Early sentiments were that the infected were infected by animals but he called BS on that and said it's unrealistic for that many people to be infected by animals, it was most likely human-to-human transmission.He is a doctor, not sure about his specialty.
I will say, as another doctor myself and one with some previous background in Public Health and Infectious diseases (but am NOT a public health or ID physician) that simply being a doctor does not mean you're an expert on this stuff. The people I'd really listen to in these situations are epidemiologists or people who work specifically in outbreak situations. Then Public health doctors/ nurses. Then ID doctors. Then regular doctors/nurses. Then regular people. Then celebrities. Then probably politicians.
Neil Ferguson for example, the professor who wrote the excellent paper credited with changing the UK and USA's approach, is actually a mathematician and epidemiologist for instance.
This is not to slight Arruda, myself or any other doctors on here or in real life. Just a reflection that being a doctor and specialising in, for instance paediatrics or dermatology, or still being in training, does not make you an expert in outbreak control and what strategy to take when facing a problem of this magnitude.
Having said that, his posts are always informative and clearly well researched and thought out. And (I believe) in his second language no less.

Italy is introducing stricter measures from tomorrow.
I've said already social distancing is a waste of time. Italy started with that a month ago, it didnt work. We have been in almost complete lockdown for 2 weeks and it's made no difference. Total enforced quarantine seems to be the only way to stop it. A lot of countries are going to learn this the hard way.
I don't know,mate, she was a complete stranger to me (this was the first time I'd attended the class. Thankfully, this Friday's was cancelled).That could depend on a lot of factors, Steve. For instance, did she take a direct flight from India or was there a stopover in Italy or Spain?

The most serious thing I had was that my eyes were nearly closed at one point. But that doesn't sound like coronavirus.

As others have said and as I feared I think they may be telling porkies unfortunately.It has shot up these past two days to 356 and one death. I guess they have not been testing as much as other countries have been doing. Testing is the only way to find out and forced quarantine to control it.
