Hi Kerching

I believe these things should be left to the Chief Medical and Scientific Officers it's not the Government calling the shots lets face it they couldn't sort out Brexit. There is no place to hide from this, it's to late. Just follow the guidance it's all that's left.

Yes and I am very concerned just taking every precaution I can.

To put this into perspective we have 21 UK deaths up to now, we don't know how many of those were actually dying without this virus. I think the last count in the UK there is about 66 million of us so 21 is a very very small % currently .

Regards

Thanks for replying.. My worry is the "herd immunity" comment from the advisors.. It feels like we will be the collateral damage to achieve this.

It is indeed very scary. My main hope is that tactics to slow its progress down sufficient that the NHS is not overwhelmed. I would like the media to publish updates on deaths from RTAs on a daily basis as they average 5 per day! And thousands suffer life changing injuries. The local radio seems to have a phone in to discuss older drivers every 6 - 12 months after a fatal accident yet ignores dozens caused by middle aged drivers in the same period!

Do they really know how its spread though? It could be just breathing near someone with it . Perhaps we should wear masks. It could start to spread like wild fire. I am worried to go to the gp or hospitals in case I am near someone with it.

Good move, Kerching, especially as the WHO themselves have said it is concerned about the UK not being sufficiently proactive.

The WHO they did nothing for Ebola it was literally left to the Military. Who is to say the WHO haven't got it wrong, lets face it everyone is guessing to a certain extent. One mans expert is another mans fool.

I am not looking for an argument just trying to understand.
