Question is what have we had in the past? I spent many days in bed with the sick bucket at the side as a youngster.


didnt have the luxury of running a blood gas or fbc or infection markers my point is most of us were ok.

Yes, as has been said a number of times, we've largely conquered a range of nasty and lethal diseases within the lifetimes of many of us: polio and the many 'childhood diseases' such as chickenpox, measles, rubella, mumps etc.  Before that we had to live with the risk and take sensible precautions.


There's a decent chance that a vaccine will be produced but we will probably have to get through 2020 and possibly the 2020/21 winter season without it.

Probably best if we close our borders with Surrey and ban all flights to and from.

Sometimes it feels like playing King Canute, trying to push back the waves of stupidity and exaggeration.

Boris is holding an emergency COBRA meeting on Monday - he needs to grasp the nettle and grasp it fast.
 
The whole point about Brexit was "taking back control" - now is the time to prove it.
Put the country on a war footing, advise against any non-essential travel overseas at the moment and introduce screening at all entry points and ports.

 
We are an island nation, it is necessary to safeguard vulnerable people in this country - now is the eleventh hour to get moving. Either that, or we will face the question posed in today's Times - whether to sacrifice our elderly and vulnerable people or not.
 
New world order coming.
