Say what you will about the British all taking the piss out of "oh you gotta wash your hands" and shit, but people are aware of it from all this. That and seemingly good contact tracing. More concerned about that 8 they don't know where it came from.
That's great. Can't see the UK government doing the same if/when we see a similar outbreak here though.
Whilst I agree that the government is doing the right thing with the messaging, the incubation period is 14+ days, so we aren't going to be seeing the results of all that yet.
The local Costco was handing out disinfectant wipes at the door as I entered a few nights ago. Used it on my hands and the cart handle.

Man the planet can't hold current population, The signs are all around but people even here on Era insist it is fine and we can have more people...Spanish Flu likely came about as a result of overcrowding/overpopulation due to the industrial revolution. The more humans there are and the denser the population is the more likely it is that viruses will emerge among human population and lead to pandemics, it's mathematic. It is not a coincidence that these strains usually come from China nowadays. Statistically speaking, there is no reason why some other deadly virus could not emerge next week, next month, next year.

IMO, the germane lesson from that piece of history is that outcomes will largely depend on preparedness and the capacity of the healthcare system. Can't think of any practical or healthy reason to dwell on doom and gloom regarding the population levels at the moment.Spanish Flu likely came about as a result of overcrowding/overpopulation due to the industrial revolution.

If you regularly come into contact with older folks, I'd think twice. If you don't, just accept the fact that you're likely going to get sick and will likely be fine. So just go and practice good hygiene.
Just thinking about how much the last doctor I saw touched my face etc... not good.
This isn't good. Literally the same situation occurred with Iran. Mysteriously people coming back started testing positive and it points to a much larger outbreakCan anyone translate this? It's an article saying that a Japanese person got the virus after vising Philippines. Google Translate is inaccurate
Thanks in advance
