Rastuss
You failed to answer my question yesterday why should the Chinese workers want to leave,how long are their contracts,will they leave knowing they haven't got a job to come back to?
Rastuss - can you provide a link to the article about the reinfection rate? That sounds particularly worrying if there is any truth to it. There hasn't been any news about the British guy who came back from Singapore and infected a dozen others but was said to have recovered. Given how he was an early victim and recovered I wonder if the media will begin to report on patients like him if it turns out this virus has a high rate of reinfection or some kind of 'second wave' attack
are we going to bounce off 420,or you think ,which I think virus going to get worse ,we heading 380

If you listen to the UK government statements yesterday then I think you can interpret them as saying that if the virus gets to the UK that the UK government is just going to let it run its course.
We will of course all be told to limit our travel, interaction with other people etc etc
However, other than that we will all be on our own with it.
Their reasoning will be that;
The summer is coming, so increased temperatures will dampen transmission.
Closing down Heathrow and Gatwick and closing off London is not practical and will be too much of an economic hit and so,
suddenly the seriousness of it will be downgraded and we will get the message to man up, get over yourself, its only a bit of the flu !
Maxdba, this is the best thing to do, I have no idea why every one around the world are panicking from a flu.
It happens every year, and people just carry on with their lives
It is a Media creation and hype !
COVID-19 isn't flu, Coronavirus has many unknowns attached to it, more contagious, it appears to spread more rapidly than the flu, spread by people with no symptoms at all, death rates for flu are with a vaccine, there's no vaccine for Corvid-19....
I think the uk gov should be doing more to reduce a serious outbreak here with travel restrictions in place, sprinkling anti panic dust wont save lives. My guess is we'll see schools close in the first weeks of March. It's a nightmare, once there's a vaccine it's a handbrake turn for the markets.
Stay safe
