Alladino Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 11 hours ago, TBG 150 said: This is for the people running around panicked by the media. Good Lord! In total, the CDC estimates that up to 42.9 million people got sick during the 2018-2019 flu season, 647,000 people were hospitalized and 61,200 died. That’s fairly on par with a typical season, and well below the CDC’s 2017-2018 estimates of 48.8 million illnesses, 959,000 hospitalizations and 79,400 deaths. 2019-nCoV is not the flu. Just consider how extreme China's countermeasures were. Do you really think that this was just based on a media hype? In China?!? A country where there is no free media. Bullshit. I agree, there is no reason for panic and stupid herd behaviour (such as hoarding). However, it is still important to follow the recommendations of science to flatten the impact of the virus. Otherwise, due to a lack of resources , not everyone will receive the appropriate treatment. With the flu, time is of little help. Here it would be important that more people get vaccinated. With 2019 nCoV time will help to save people or at least provide them with appropriate treatment. BTW, The hope is great that we will have a vaccine relatively quickly (maybe to the beginning of next year). 1

It's like the city has become a ghost town.

I talk to her everyday and she says she is fine. I live 50 Miles from her so it's difficult for me to get to see her that much. My Sisters make sure she is looked after the best way possible. 2

That's sweet Stn, it actually might be better not to visit her at this time though. I'm sure as long as she hears from you everyday she will understand. 1

They used to have a Bus from the City that went to the location my Mother lives but the ridership was so low they wound up by cancelling it. So I just have to make best of the situation. 2
Dave 27 Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 I receive a facetime message on my phone yesterday from one of my granddaughter's telling me(and Margaret)she was on her way with toilet rolls and paracetamol.Just one huge gesture from our wonderful family. P.S.She was also taking some stuff to an elderly couple who are neighbours of hers.👍👍 Just thought I would share. 2 1
