A colleague of my wife called it the Coroner virus. I‘d say catching the Coroner virus doesn’t have a good outlook.
1. Individuals become infectious after D4, symptoms become apparent by D12, unlike common fluGosh ... the virus hits london village .... sod the rest of us ..... we could be contaminated with a variant of mild flu ...... disaster .!!!!
So .... < 1% of those that contract it die.... thank god it's not FLU ....... that killer of over 10,000 people every year in the UK .....
And Breath ............ well, not through a pointless mask of course .....
If this thing scales up by just a small amount, and (however serious the thing proves to be) i tend to think it will be more than just a small amount, there is surely no way they can continue to do this? No way enough facilities or resources?

2. R0 appears to be significantly higher than common flu
3. No vaccine and there won't be for several months, unlike common flu
Masks have limited but not zero efficacy. One of the most important results of wearing a mask is you don't touch your mouth and nose as much
What is the % chance of Coronavirus pandemic taking hold in UK? Low. But not zero
One thing kinda puzzles me.
The authorities seem to be strongarm persuading folks to go into isolation facilities. If this thing scales up by just a small amount, and (however serious the thing proves to be) i tend to think it will be more than just a small amount, there is surely no way they can continue to do this? No way enough facilities or resources?
What would the flu rate be without vaccination of high and at risk groups however (and plenty of other people too who choose to have the jab)?Virologists here have noticed that people can be infectious before showing any symptoms. The mortality rate is 2-3% whereas seasonal ‘flu is less than 1%.
All schools here staying shut ‘till March 16th. We’ve just kissed goodbye to a chunk of our summer hols so my trip back to Scotlandshire is off it seems.
Might also be under discussion hereThe Corona virus seems to be causing more havoc than Brexit, companies are struggling with import/exports.
