You know thinks are getting serious with the virus when there is a thread about the travelling community kicking off at a funeral and it is getting very little attention and no infractions.

If a traveller get the coronavirus, it could be devastating to them.

Doctor on The Tonight Show is that the coronavirus is quite similar to the common cold and that no vaccine may be found.

Important to carry out proper hygiene practice and keep the immune system healthy.

He's right - we have no vaccines for any human based coronaviruses

I dont think you know what you're talking about.

DNA testing is time consuming, complicated and very expensive.

No actually, if you search for swine flu even here on boards you'll find nothing like the two threads we've had here.

I don't remember there being much panic, though I do recall having to send hand sanitiser and individual towels into school with kids (they asked for all parents to do this).

Swine flu was a bit of a thing for a while, a colleague of mine was the only person I knew who actually got it (she was very ill but recovered) it more or less disappeared gradually. Definitely don't remember any talk of stocking up and isolating at home etc.

It's still here during flu season and a few scattered outbreaks since 2009 in other countries but of course the vaccine is there for those who want it.

During the 2009 swine flu pandemic 700+ million people contracted the virus, figures of 1 in 5 getting it worldwide .

CDC estimate range of 150,000–575,000 deaths and the pandemic officially lasted about 16 months total, although vaccine was becoming available within 6 months and cases began to decline from there on.

27 deaths in Ireland from swine flu during the pandemic period.

Great information.
I didn't realize there was 27 deaths in Ireland

Is there anything to be said for, like in the weather forum, a thread for actual facts (verifiable cases and such weird stuff) and another for all loons to post all the crap they want from whatsapp and their friend of a friend

I was in my late teens/early twenties at the time and I recall seeing a lot of panic in the media and was very worked up about it myself. My girlfriend at the time got very sick with it and we had to go to hospital in the end thanks to it.

It's a big part of why I'm so calm at the moment, to be honest. People seek to like making a fuss and it often ends up being much less of a thing than expected.

I would hope that this would be the sensible thread and the crazy stuff would be posted in the conspiriciy theoiries thread.
But that doesn't work because the crazy people want to be taken seriously.

You're stretching it a bit including last 3 in any statistics. They hardly count.

As per WHO man fresh out of Wuhan nobody is ready. Ok Doomer.

Panic is happening before any cases are announced I dread to think what will happen when there is one. We sell face masks, decent ones and really cheap ones. Normally we sell 100- 500 a week.
This week we have sold 50,000 and only because we only had that many. Could have sold 5 times that.

from wikipedia

Unlike most strains of influenza, H1N1 (Swine flu) does not disproportionately infect adults older than 60 years; this was an unusual and characteristic feature of the H1N1 pandemic.


The present pox is more typical of flu in this respect. If your girlfriend in her early 20s gets this one then when she goes to the hospital it will already be full.

Another significant drop in that serious/critical number. Hats off to China if they are reporting accurately.... which I hope they are
