The psychology of this will likely take a huge toll. The news is being delivered in bite size chunks to allow digestion but still coming fast.

I haven't been to any pub in the last 2 weeks and its something i'm now really missing, especially after staying in as much as poss the last few days and knowing its only the start of it.
Ordinarily, under circumstances of huge global importance, a local pub is a great place to be. Talking about it, a feeling of everyone being united together. The beer flows and peoples spirits rise and it goes a long way to put people in a better mood.
But under this pandemic threat, a pub is definitely not a good place to be. When people get a few beers inside them, any concern about this virus and how contagious and dangerous it can be will be forgotten.
I can just picture the barfly pissheads in my local now, sitting close together at the bar, having a laugh and just making light of the situation.
So the boozer is a no go for me for the foreseeable.

Here’s the Nature article on hydroxychloroquine

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41421-020-0156-0

Edit: it’s a somewhat difficult read but this is its conclusion - results show that HCQ can efficiently inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro. In combination with its anti-inflammatory function, we predict that the drug has a good potential to combat the disease.
Thanks
Fortunately the stockpiling hordes can’t strip the shelves as it’s on specialist prescription (GP repeat) only :smile:

If that's what the Sky report said then it's pretty poor quality reporting.
The virus causes pneumonia in some cases, which is what leads to the most severe complications, it isn't 'like a very bad pneumonia'.
According to the figures, Germany is having a lower death rate, possibly due to more extensive testing.
I know what I saw and heard , Watch it for yourself , it repeats quite regularly and just for good measure the Spaniards are reporting a higher incidence
Edit
But I hope your right, and it is bad reporting ,
