Coronavirus...post your thoughts here...

Young healthy people aged between 5 and 30 are virtually unaffected by this virus, but they can develop normal flu like symptoms and be sick for a few days to a week. There does not appear to be any healthy people aged between 5 and 30 years old that have died from this virus.

This is now incorrect @Colin_T. Italy has had young children in ICU. They spoke on Thursday and are now cautioning all young that they are not immune to the disease. They closed the beaches in Florida on Spring Break Thursday. Things are changing daily with the facts.

You know I am not surprised that chinese people eat raw meat because when I went there ive seen a naked guy eating poop from a toilet. And 10 years old me quickly ran out of toilet, and not gonna go to chinese toilet ever again...

Poor thing. That left a lasting memory in your mind, didn’t it?

"One of the country's leading Ear, Nose and Throat consultants has told Sky News there are new signs for detecting COVID-19 in patients.

The British Association of Otorhinolaryngology (ENT UK) say asymptomatic patients - ones who do not have a fever or a cough - could show a loss of smell or taste as symptoms after contracting coronavirus."

I dont understand why shoppers have watched the news and learned there is a big issues but haven't watched the news to the extent that shortage of food is not one of them...

They closed Bondi beach today too, and the Northern Territory and Tasmania have closed their borders.

Smart idea. A little late though, don’t you think?

Here they have closed all the bars, restaurants are closed except for drive though or pick up. You have to call ahead for pick up. That is what I did tonight for supper.

I found out via a Facebook post addressed to our customers that once we close tomorrow that we will be staying closed for the foreseeable future. Didn't hear anything from management for another 5 hours after they told the customers.
The BHS (British Horse Society) last night told all its approved centres to stop giving lessons and shut to the public which many riding schools did. They've now done a U-turn on that today and the riding schools that followed last night's advice are furious as they have lost huge amounts of money by closing.

I am horrified! I have been staying in as much as possible. This evening my hubbie and I decided we better run to Walgreens pharmacy and grabbed some Tylenol and Gatorade just in case one of us gets sick. We have finally got our first 5 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in our suburban town. At the register, the checker took my things and I was about 4’ from her across the counter. She stopped, turned her head towards me, and sneezed without covering her mouth. Didn’t even make an attempt! I jumped back and she said, “Oh, it’s just allergies.” I was so upset I just quickly gathered my things and ran out. My hubbie grabbed the hand sanitizer and not only had me clean my hands, but he also rubbed it on my face. I went right home and sprayed myself with Lysol and then bathed. Who does that kind of thing right now? I still feel dirty. I should have asked for her Manager but just wanted to get out of there.

I would write to the company and tell them what happened.

In this day and age with the pandemic, she should be even more cautious about sneezing, regardless of if it is from allergies or a cold/ flu virus. She might say its allergies but she could also have a virus and is spreading it to all the customers.

Last year before this all started, I went to the chemist to get my heart medication and the chemist had a cold and sneezed on my medication before putting it in the paper bag. The stuff hit the fan that day. I yelled out wtf dude, you just sneezed on my stuff. The chemist ignored me and went on doing another prescription. He didn't wash his hands or anything. I wrote to the company about that but never got a response

Some people are just aholes that don't give a crap about anyone except themselves.

I should be allowed to have a vaporising ray so I can vaporise people that annoy me. Half the people in my town would disappear.

I think that is precisely why you arent allowed a vaporizer ray...

But life would be so much more peaceful if I had one
