Yesterday you assured us all that you fully understood that the concern was about slowing the pace of the virus, and here you are wittering about absolute numbers of cases again. Like I said, you are clearly not getting the seriousness of this for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have never completely recovered. That's just my own thoughts. It's possibly too early to tell although you can catch ordinary flu more than once.

Eric Arthur Blair Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 The Czechs taking this really seriously. https://news.expats.cz/weekly-czech-news/breaking-prague-public-transport-bans-travel-without-face-mask-due-to-coronavirus/ With them being the worlds biggest consumers of beer and all bars/restaurants closed and Ireland closing all bars one day before St. Patrick's day, it can surely only be a matter of time before it happens here.

This is opening the door for malingerers, taking over from stress. On the supermarket thing, I'm way ahead of the pack, stocking up with alcohol.
