I'm starting to get abit scared for the virus now too! 🧫 Italy has been hit very hard! 😟 It has spread around the world extremely fast, and new numbers from Italy show that it is 5% deadly if you get infected. That is worringly high! We can compare it to the Spanish flue, wich was an epidemic around 1920. It killed over 20 million, and that was only 2-3% deadly. We must hope they find a vaxine very quick. 💉 In the mean time, wash your hands ALOT, and be careful where you go. 🧼 😷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave 27 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 7 hours ago, Robwin said: Must admit i have not heard that, if it was true i would fully expect to see it in headlines all over the newspapers. Generally i think the UK is not doing too bad as being a small island our population is around 65 million whereas Germany is much bigger and only has about 83 million so in theory it should be much worse in the UK but the virus is expected to get much worse before it gets any better in all country's. As it hits the elder people worse you may see many of us disappear soon lol but i hope not anyway. It has been reported though that this virus was actually created in the Chinese labs and accidentally escaped. Which if true makes you wonder why they were creating it in the first place eh.!!!! There is a research Lab.near Edinburgh which carry's out tests on males and females of varying ages. Example:A middle aged female relative of mine did a three week test(not allowed home)for Aspirin which involved a number of people taking two different strengths and a placebo.I won't bore you with the details of how it all worked but she received £925 for it. Footnote:She was bored out of her skull and swore she would never do it again!!!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody is cautious now which is a good thing. I still feel fine. I had a a very bad flu infection in January where I almost had to go to hospital and so I jokingly say I already had it 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maturin Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I was in a restaurant on Friday evening and innocently sneezed into my napkin, which brought the whole restaurant to a standstill! Was quite embarrassing really and I felt I had to spend the rest of the evening gesturing and laughing exuberantly to show to the other diners that no, I did not indeed have the flu or coronavirus! We haven't been hit so hard yet in Sweden but cases are rising. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
