Meanwhile, our government has announced sick pay will be paid from the first day of self isolation, rather than the fourth day.  That’s open to abuse and while self isolation is an answer to avoiding NHS overload, it will do nothing good for our economy.

The death rate will soar once it gets going and those who would have survived with care that current sufferers are getting are not able to get that care. Can't say I'll be asking people to cough over me, though. If we didn't have kids, I'd very much welcome the idea of stocking up and shutting ourselves off from the outside world for a full 6-8 months. I hate people.

If its better to catch it sooner, they why are we bothering to try and contain it?

I would agree, pubs  have got to be the best place to catch Corona after the Tube.  Not only is  it peeps-to- peeps   transmission, you have bog door  handles , tables, plates, cutlery and tables that have  not been properly cleaned.   


Not sure about the complementary nuts though - I reckon the ol' Corana would have a problem getting "house room"  due to  the zillion other pathogens scullin' about in there !

Sorry if this has been covered already, but why did Italy become such a hotspot in the first place and did they find patient zero?

BreakingItalian government 'to close schools'






The Italian government is to close all schools and universities around the country until mid March because of the coronavirus outbreak, Ansa news agency reports.


Earlier officials reported a jump in cases and deaths from the virus.

As I've said before, I think this is good news: it implies either that in many cases it produces a mild illness and/or it's not transmissible to the extent some have concluded. Or both.
