Sitting here in a bar in Yangon having a lunchtime beer, just sneezed a couple of times and appear to suddenly have four tables to myself. I do have a couple of masks with me, but no good when drinking beer.
Not on quite the same level, but we are in York, the U.K. epicentre of the Coronavirus :rolleyes:, tour guide and hotel say they have had cancellations - sometime you just need t get on with life.

and that is 560 deaths too many.........
but they are still saying everyone had underlying health conditions, so likelyhpood even a normal flu virus would have had similar affect.

I am not heading for my bunker and starting on my supply of tinned food yet.......
Note to self:
Buy some gold and put in the the safe in the bunker, just in case !

Infections seem to be up all over the world.....death in Dubai now.
What on Earth will happen if this hits India or Africa? Their medical facilities aren’t the best and with congested populations in overcrowded cities it could be horrendous.
Our N95’s are due by next Wed.

Regardless of what side of the argument you sit on. The fact is that this virus is not contained.

if it hits the wrong bits of Africa it’ll be like the bubonic plague!

So the WHO has just contradicted China, saying it doesn’t know the source.....so much for the wet market theory.

In the Uk, the Chief Medical officer is refusing to name or provide details relating to the new infection........

No official source will ever reveal the true extent of the problem.....but UK official Govt modelling suggests the figures should be “at least 5 times higher”.

Wet market was discounted at least 48 hours ago. When I was watching one of those videos you sent, it was old then. That's how science works: Create a hypothesis. Test that hypothesis, discard it if disproven. Sadly most of us get it the wrong way around.

Source for the CMO and UK govt modelling? My immediate Googling fails to show anything. Would be interested (as ever) to read the actuality behind the claims.

Also, what are the numbers in that Tencent screen shot? They don't match any numbers I can find

The source for Uk Govt Modelling was Sky news tonight.....reporter quoted it outside the hospital where 3 case is.

They’re what were mentioned earlier in the post
