I think Ebola was said to originate from bats. Monkeys ate the bats and humans ate the monkeys.
I have to say, that the Old Testament which gives the Commandments ,forbidding the human consumption of scavengers and carrion eaters, which devour other animals for their food..... and the list is long , makes sense to me, basically telling us that some animals carry diseases which we can't fight , and not to mix the blood ! (think I might have mentioned that before a long time ago)
What they don't eat in China isn't worth mentioning but as you say Casper, obsessive about de-contamination and they wear masks on a daily basis, coronavirus or not.

My niece's son was sent home early from school ( in Kent ) today at 10.45am . She asked why . He'd been expelled for the day after being caught charging students 50p a squirt of hand sanitizer .

No we do not take in in our stride, many millions of people grieve for those that die or have cancer, many millions are living in suffering and many millions of pounds are spent trying to cure it and treat those suffering from it. There is a huge difference in a non-communicable disease like cancer and CV19 which is communicable, if cancer was communicable on the same level as CV19 we would all be walking around in hazmat suits by now and the population would be very much decreased.

I doubt it Derek , because I don't think the private hospitals have high dependency beds. If they can I'm sure they will , as they take NHS patients anyway, for operations .

Anyone else sick of hearing about hard times for Tranmere Rovers on the radio today, this is going to affect everybody one way or another, banging on about how much they do for the community, next stop WBC for a sponsorship on the strength of it.

Ironically it (corona) could save them from relegation..

Not long ago MP's told us that brexit would make medicine hard to get, supermarkets with empty shelves and people panic buying and travelling would be affected. Did they know something was around the corner?. Makes you think

This is like something out of a sci-fi book or movie . It’s quite surreal..every time I look at the news it’s getting worse and now more quite alarming measures going to be taken. And we thought we only had Brexit to worry about!! I’m finding it quite terrifying and wonder what’s going to happen next? Listening to Trump it sounded like the end of the world was looming.. God help us.

You listened to Trump? Baaad move...! Seriously, yes it is time to take all the precautions we can to avoid the virus and it's going to be a difficult few weeks/months ahead for everyone, but the vast majority of people should come through it okay - although the most vulnerable will be threatened, by the self isolation if not the virus, and the economy will take a big hit from enforced closures etc. Keep calm and follow the official advice - it's all we can do really.

Yes you’re right Greenwood, guess I’m watching too much news and getting panicked by it all. It is serious but as you say got to follow what they say and get through it.

In My Humble Opinion ..... If you get it, its important to try and keep your lungs free of debris and fluids, although they tell you to rest, I would try and do the opposite and ventilate the lungs as much as possible. Most people that die have died of pneumonia although CV19 in the worst cases would kill you eventually through organ damage. I would also take anti-inflammatories to attempt to reduce the amount of fluid the body pumps into the lungs. If you get to the pneumonia stage you need antibiotics. .... IMHO Well that's been shot down by France, they say Ibuprofen aggravates the disease and to use paracetamol. I see both the NHS and America were suggesting Ibuprofen, it will be interesting to find out why it reacts with CV19.
