Evening all... :D

Found this an interesting perspective from a virologist who seems to know a little about the COVID–19 virus family...

Steve, I really enjoyed listening to this, so thank you. All the right questions were discussed, and he clearly knows his stuff. I know it’s serious, but I felt pleasantly calmed by his explanation.

Yes, he does seem well informed, and like you I too benefit from a clear concise explanation...

Take care Mary... :-)

Hi Steve thank you very much, an extremely interesting and practical , non scaremongering but truthful post.

I agree I think he knows his stuff and he was so clear and concise but sounded honest. He should be on the tv!!

Kindest regards Aime xx😻😻

Hi Steve, that is most definitely the most common sense article I have seen over the Coronovirus. Whilst it tells us how to keep ourselves safe, it also helps to put it into perspective over numbers, that whilst many, many will get the disease, there will also be very many that will recover. It is not all doom and gloom. I guess it is about being so very careful, and isolating ourselves as much as we can - We had some groceries delivered the other day and every surface was wiped with antibacterial wipes, packages were thrown away etc. And all whilst wearing disposable gloves. Is it over the top? No I don't believe it is. Once again Steve thanks for the video clip.

Hey Janice... :-)

No, being cautious at a time such as this is a wise move in my view...

Be safe & well...

Hey Mark... :-)

Yes, it does indeed...

Much easier to understand it all via explanations such as this one...

Thanks for posting, as always with your posts a very interesting piece which gives clear information. I wish you all well in Australia. I hope you are managing to keep your fitness levels up now your cycling tour has been curtailed.

It is much harder and in some ways more challenging because I must find some alternate means in a sense...

There is always light ahead, and I am planning for that new future even now... :-)

Stay happy, safe & well ...
