I'm starting to get a little concerned about this Coronavirus thing

So am I. I'm asthmatic so I don't need anything else attacking my lungs. Hard to know where we stand at the moment but I get the feeling things are worse than is being let on.

I am in contact with some of our factories in China and it's very much area by area. Where the factory is located has been cleared by the government to resume operations, but because many of the workers come from other cities which have not been cleared they are operating on a skeleton crew while awaiting word. What may have made the whole thing worse is that it was the Chinese new year when everything hit, so everyone was off of work for a month and socializing with other people, visiting, etc so it spread throughout the country faster than if it would have hit on a normal working day.

All of the cruise ships and everything else is what's worrying me. I think it's just starting for the rest of the world.

Yeah if the incubation period is up to a month then cases will be springing up all over. Let's face it if China can't contain it with their approach the rest of us won't manage to either.

It's most definitely worse than they're telling us, no question. They're trying to quarantine groups of people in California. This entire thing just feels really, really bad.

I just feel sorry for all those people that work at Corona. They must feel horrible.

You're more likely to die from the flu than novel CoV. Truly.

Or from getting a bad case of the poops after an all night Corona binger.

And if you is a patient person, doing a King Canute on a beach waiting for climate change to come into being.

It's not so much the dying part that bothers me. It's when the government starts quarantines. Yes, I know it's supposed to be a helpful measure. I'm just a bit paranoid about the government and quarantines.

I've had my flu vaccine though so less concerned with that. It's the knock on effect as well as personal worry though. This appears to be likely to spread much more widely than the flu. That's going to have an enormous effect on health care in most countries.

Not originally from me but here is an analysis of the Coronavirus from an epidemiologist on another forum:

"About a year ago, the US decided to sack their permanent epidemic response teams in the NSC and DHS, and cut quarter of a billion in funding in biosecurity programmes for reasons only known to themselves. CDC and DHC also both got cuts, and the new head of the CDC is a bit suspect, and the Complex Crisis Fund has gone (a contingency fund to allow the SoS to deploy resources quickly during a crisis, such as disease outbreak, or war). It might explain why the US seemed to abandon US citizens to this virus, and time will tell if it was an act of wanton Public Health vandalism (vandal being the right word, in this context, given its historic origin).

The UK is no better, having effectively had no functioning government for the past 3 years.

Iran is most troubling. They haven't been reporting cases accurately at all. And it seems senior members of their government, mostly elderly, are now infected. There is a risk of loss of leadership at a critical time."

I am also concerned about the Coronavirus.
People in my country have been put into quarrentine because they were around tourists who got sick with Coronavirus after returning to their home country, they have also been putting in quarrentine anyone coming in from China or Korea.

I have also seen some people wearing masks even though we haven't had an outbreak of the virus here.

 

[The Bronze]

Well turns out Americans have nothing to worry about. It's just scare mongering by CNN and the Democrats. Hopefully the UK will get the all clear soon as well.

Such a fun time to be alive. 😂

You’re Likely to Get the Coronavirus

Most cases are not life-threatening, which is also what makes the virus a historic challenge to contain.

I got Chaos Bleeds in mint condition and it arrived this morning, I'm enjoying it but the checkpoint system is a bit annoying, I also don't like how you jump with o (red) instead of jumping with x (blue) like I'm used to.

I have way more money leftover this month than I usually do, so it looks like I'm getting more Pops again 😛

It's annoying when some of the levels are ridiculously long (such as the cemetery) but you can't actually save the game during the level, you can only do so at the end of the whole level.

Also when you get to the blood factory and are playing with Xander, watch out for the spider demons. You'll have to climb through an air vent and drop down into the room where the spider demons are. However, if you're in the vent peering into the room to see where the spider demons are, so that you're not surprised by them attacking you from off-screen, they will jump up and knock you out of the vent. Of course once, you're on the ground, they will constantly be attacking you which prevents you from getting up and your life bar will go down.

I'm in the middle of blood factory (got to the willow part), I just leave the ps2 on so I won't have to start from the beginning.

That should have been two levels, not one...

I did that with the Xbox. I always found emptying the tank of blood difficult because I couldn't find the second button/lever. I had to go online and print off a walk through.

Definitely. It's not a game you can play if you only have a spare half hour, it's one you have to devote an evening to.
