100% guaranteed,  the italian stats are pretty scary 9000 cases 450plus dead and accelerating !

We are today on 320 cases, which is where Italy was on Feb 25th, so we are tracking almost exactly 2 weeks behind, its going to get messy !

We are hearing of all the new cases but no news on how many are recovering from this Coronavirus.

We are hearing of all the new cases but no news on how many are recovering from this Coronavirus.

In China and South Korea on Sunday the increase in cases slowed down. Not sure what happened yesterday. I work in Health and Social Care so I have began taking this seriously but the panic buying isn’t helping care homes like the one I manage. It is making it more difficult for us to buy gloves, alcohol gel and so on and these are the things we need to function on a day to day basis even before coronavirus.

It is worrying slightly, we care for 3 young men with autism etc but one guy is very very vulnerable so we do have to do everything we can. I don’t usually worry about these kind of things on a personal level but this time, when it’s somebody else’s life it does make you consider it all a lot more.

Italy has the highest concentrated population of chineese outside of china i hear and we all know how they meet & greet eachother which obviously hasnt helped.

It's almost as those stockpiling the soaps and alcohol gels haven't thought this through. By hoarding they are denying others the opportunity to use said products, thus increasing their own chances of coming into contact with someone carrying the virus. Weapons grade jelly for brains on an industrial scale.

How can we/they class ourselves/themselves as the most advanced and intelligent species on earth, when the logic of self preservation has it's own very obvious pitfalls? Atishooo, atishooo....... Sod it, enough thinking for one day. I'm off for a dump.

Don't know where you've heard that, but Italy has about 320,000 Chinese. That puts them outside the Top 20 for countries,  even behind the UK (446k).

Thailand holds top spot with over 9 million.

Also, I don't know what you're referring to as "how they meet and greet each other". Care to elaborate?

You know what the next move will be?
Stop the mass gatherings by playing football matches behind closed doors and televising said events.
Then we can all go down the pub and watch the game together.
Oo hang on a bit!

not sure if your correct there, i got the info from an italian professor i just heard on LBC radio,maybe said aging chineese. as far as meet and greet, Kissing faces side to side. i thought you might have guessed that

Will do, that batch of alcohol gel I bought online should come in 'handy' now  .

My apologies, I didn't realise you meant the Italian greeting.

That's how a majority of continental European people greet each other.

And yet, given their close proximity to China, Thailand have one of the lowest mortality rates, because the implemented testing actions immediately

Go online and buy rubbing alcohol it’s much better than hand sanitizers etc and the press haven’t picked up on it so prices are still cheap

Italy in lock down. Suspect in the next 2 weeks we (The UK) will be in the same boat.

That will not happen, the uk are not being pressurised by the mass hysteria from the press and are using scientific advise instead. 

[wba1993dave]

Potentially big news . The Forest owner has the virus and was at their last home game. Good chance he could have infected the playing staff or general staff.

Rumour is he shook hands with a lot of players and people!

Except mass gatherings band and anyone with a cold/flue symptoms go be self-isolated regardless of foreign trips.

Yes people are buying up these hand gels and they are useless against a virus - they are anti-bacterial

I read yesterday that a sanitiser needs to be 70% alcohol to kill the virus

Wolves have asked Uefa to postpone Thursday's Europa League game against Olympiacos, after their owner Evangelos Marinakis revealed he has contracted coronavirus. Decision expected in the next 24 hours.

Needs to have 60% alcohol

[AlbionFan]

We could also try Listerine Total Care as if is 54% proof.

Helpful for use as a liquid sanitiser instead of gel and has 26.9% alcohol content, more alcohol content than some beers, wines and spirits, so you can have a swig at the same time as sanitising your hands, mind you, it is an acquired taste.

Additionally, it comes in handy to carry 500ml and 1l bottles.

There, job done 

[BigFrank20]

I quote
Why does soap work so well on the new coronavirus and, indeed, most viruses? Because it is a self-assembled nanoparticle in which the weakest link is the lipid (fatty) bilayer.
That sounds scientific. Let me explain.
Soap dissolves the fat membrane around the virus and the virus falls apart like a house of cards and “dies,” or rather, it becomes inactive as viruses aren’t really alive. Viruses can be active outside the body for hours, even days.
