Coronavirus outbreak

[Dave7]

Greek Orthodox church quote:-

“For the members of the church, attendance of the divine eucharist and the shared cup of life, of course cannot be a cause of transmission of illness,” the body of senior clerics said in the statement. “Believers of all ages know that attending communion, even in the midst of a pandemic, is both a practical affirmation of self-surrender to the living god and a potent manifestation of love, which vanquishes every human and perhaps justified fear.”

Really, Your elderly parishioners might diminish substantially. Let's blindly follow Religious preaching.

Jehovahs Witnesses have a long held doctrine of "follow Gods rule rather than man's". They have regular assemblies/conventions of 1,000-40,000. That will be interesting

They doctors here say that there has to be no cases for 28 days to be certain that the outbreak is over.

Outbreak over <> eradicated. Flu hasn't been eradicated but you can have months without a case.

Does anybodys garmin calculate exponential growth ?

The time I take on my rides seems to follow that pattern.

373 UK cases as at 9am - up from 319 (+17%). I wonder how many people in the UK actually have it.

Just 118 cases in Hong Kong with 3 deaths. Considering how densely populated many parts of HK are, it seems we’ve got off lightly. So far.

As someone that used to go to Church, I never did the wine thing - I'm not drinking 50 people's spit, blessed or not.

118 people showing symptoms, but that probably bears no relation to the number who actually have it with either no symptoms at all or those that are so mild they ignore it as just a slight cold. Interestingly, the cruise ship that has just docked in the States with thousands of passengers and crew trapped together in a confined space has just 21 confirmed cases of the virus.

There's a lot of hysteria out there, keep calm, be sensible and carry on.

I'm not sharing mine !

I had a poke on Mumsnet CV thread (pointed at it from Singletrack) - oh my word - if this reflects the general hysteria going round. People absolutely crapping themselves. Mark my word, there will be panic fuel buying next.

What's that? A fuel shortage you say?

Maybe spread a rumour that you are most likely to catch it sitting in traffic in your car....

Petrol kills the virus. Fact.

That should be entertaining.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

I heard rubbing manure over your face kills the virus. Fact.
