badgerx16 Posted 24 January, 2020 Share Posted 24 January, 2020 Didnt the virus start in a Chinese fish market!! Influenza evolved from a disease of water birds, and is transmitted through the air in moisture droplets, or by contact with contaminated surfaces.

Johnny Bognor Posted 24 January, 2020 Share Posted 24 January, 2020 (edited) I've just invested in some N95 particulate respirator masks and rubber disposable gloves. Could be some easy money to be made here... Edited 24 January, 2020 by Johnny Bognor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 24 January, 2020 Share Posted 24 January, 2020 I've just invested in surgical masks, rubber disposable gloves and respirators. Could be some easy money to be made hereThat's if you can find them. The Chinese probably make most of them. I agree that you may make some good money as people strip the shelves. Funnilyenough I just spoke to a trader and he says he lives in the middle of nowhere and is going to buy a load of dried food etc and not go out for a while Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted 24 January, 2020 Share Posted 24 January, 2020 But what about the Chinese virus? Corona Virus is also thought to have originated in birds, and subsequently passed to mammals by infecting bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31cc Posted 28 January, 2020 Share Posted 28 January, 2020 'The Hot Zone', by Richard Preston, about Ebola (and a near outbreak from a Washington DC facilty) (non-fiction) is a good if worrying read with some parallels to the current situation.

buctootim Posted 28 January, 2020 Share Posted 28 January, 2020 Its just a relatively mild flu like virus. The people who died were elderly with other underlying conditions.

Huffton Posted 5 February, 2020 Share Posted 5 February, 2020 'The Hot Zone', by Richard Preston, about Ebola (and a near outbreak from a Washington DC facilty) (non-fiction) is a good if worrying read with some parallels to the current situation. Indeed, an excellent if somewhat terrifying, read.Good series based on it not long ago too. I guess the real difference is that if Ebola ever properly broke out of Africa it would probably end the human race, whereas coronavirus will just give most people a sore throat and a runny nose...

buctootim Posted 7 February, 2020 Share Posted 7 February, 2020 (edited) Like the 34 year old doctor?? Do you know his medical history? 1,462 people aged between 15 and 64 died in the UK from flu in 2017/18. How come that isnt a screaming headline every day? https://gulfnews.com/world/asia/coronavirus-deaths-age-preexisting-conditions-and-fever-symptoms---what--we-know-about-the-fatalities-1.1580817835672 Edited 7 February, 2020 by buctootim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a doctor and don’t know about flu deaths and symptoms but it’s clear that your statement that the people who have died are elderly with underlying symptoms is not true in all cases The doctor who died may or may not have had underlying issues but he certainly wasn’t elderly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
