Coronavirus outbreak

Seriously ..how would you self isolate in a family in a family home ?
Sure locking yourself away in a bed room is do able - but using the loo having a shower would be a sure fire way of passing it to you're family ???

No way do 2% of patients die under anthestic

In the case of my cardiac procedure, that is what my surgeon said. I should have made it clear that it was just for my particular circumstances at the time. Apologies for any confusion.

Don't share towels. No hand towels. No tea towels.
If a person becomes ill, always wear gloves and, if possible, goggles. Wash hands to the wrists.

We're all going to die!
How do you want to spend your remaining days?...….sitting under the stairs wearing a bio-hazard suit while wetting yourself with anxiety?
FFS, get a grip on reality.

If you think people are saying we're all going to die I suspect it is you who needs to get a grip on reality.

True - but if there are minor lifestyle changes I can make to reduce the risk to myself and my family then I am going to do that.

Don’t all sleep in the same bed. Stuff like that.

Gallows humour isn't your strong point, I guess?

^^^^^^This!

I read that 2% of the people who caught it in China died. That may be the case, but do you really trust any statistics that come from that particular government? How many people didn't catch it? Eight years ago I had an operation. The surgeon came to see me the night before to sign consent forms. He said that 2% of patients die under general anaesthetic for no particular reason at all. That didn't seem to me to be any cause for concern.

Don't worry.

No, not even slightly. I think its an awful lot higher than they are reporting.

Number of infected or died? Who knows how many were infected? Plenty of people must have just shrugged it off without a visit to the doctors.

If it was 1985 we'd now just be becoming aware of an issue in a city in deepest China, that we'd never heard of. We'd be worried, then we'd forget about it all together, then it'd be over.

Use the loo first, then have a shower!

Global deaths from Coronavirus to date (probably entirely inaccurate): about 3000
Global deaths from entirely normal mortality per year:56,000,000
Global population: about 8000,000,000

Yes and in london's many many shared houses, shared kitchens bathrooms toilets i can't see most folk managing to pull it off. Going to lead to way more rows than "you ate my yoghurt"

When we were kids (ok 65 years ago) when we got blisters, segs or cuts on our hands we would just pee on them. Easier for the lads but it seemed to work for us.
Also...... ..as kids, if one lad in our street caught eg measles or chicken pox the parents would, literally, chuck us all in bed together. We all got it, we were all ill, then we all got better. Maybe something in that.

I think the get the kids together still happens, certainly my Vet DinL applies that logic with her 2.

I had just about everything by the age of 8-9...not too sure about the urine bath must have been posh up our end
