First Death From Covid19 in USA is in Washington State

[Maricopa]

You can’t make people understand it’s best to lay low & stay home! Everyone thinks they will be the one who never catches the virus. This is why the virus will spread worldwide! Because people will continue to travel.

[PMRPete]

Very true!

[Maricopa]

I do ponder as to just how deadly this virus is. Western Washington has excellent hospitals with world renowned Drs. All the attention would have been given to this one rather isolated case. Yet the person still died!

Problem is holidays and trips already booked - money will be lost unless the Govt tell us to stop travelling and then we will all get our money back.

The restrictions China imposed have had a devastating effect on their economy so I can't see the Govt stopping us travelling anytime soon.

The virus has spread because people travelled before they knew about it

As individuals we can only do our best eat well, keep up our handwashing etc

As there is no national health insurance in the USA. People are forced to keep going to work. If it catches in America it will be difficult to contain.

[Durcot in reply to Tryfan]

It's because were not a socialist controlled country like your country. Has it's good and bad.

God Bless

Boris johnson a socialist, he'd be horrified

[Maricopa]

It’s already catching in America. Life is worth more than money and the worse it gets businesses will shut down anyway. Better to have nipped it in the bud.

[skischool]

Should that comment also apply to Durcot?

[Durcot]

Thank you for your support sir.

[skischool]

Oh my goodness Redsox,it's all rather playground stuff,chill out and have another rum.

Socialist Ski's who is currently governed by a democratically elected equivalent of the Republican party.

[Durcot in reply to skischool]

I shall do likewise with a refreshing glass of blood orange infused Beefeaters gin,note the patriotic allusion to Beefeaters,probably bottled in China lol

[Inamoment]

The usa doesn't have sick pay does it, that won't encourage people to isolate if they are not well. It's not that good here, but better

[Maricopa in reply to Inamoment]

Yes the USA does have sick pay through most all employers.

[skischool]

Unfortunately our friend Ollie being an independent puritan controlling socialists it was always going to end in tears and people losing their heads lol.

[Maricopa]

Actually I know a lot about the USA. Have you been drinking?

[Maricopa]

Maricopa city here...

[Maricopa]

Yes. I live just off John Wayne parkway. I’m an hour out of Phoenix.

That is what the doctors and professionals say,, but if you live alone, and need just a bit of a chat to survive, then the thought of being in your flat all alone is a real nightmare. This new virus is a worry, but if it rules your life, then you might as well be dead in the fist place.

Sorry if sound gloomy, I am note really/!!!
