St.Ricky Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Spanish Flu in 1918 killed 500 million people, one third of the world population. Asian Flu in 1957/1958 also killed large numbers including 675,000 in the USA alone. The last thing we should do is to take this lightly. Early days yet in the potential spread of the disease. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Pityme Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Will the season actually be played out? Looking dodgy.Read ThisOver 60s are being urged to avoid crowded areas because of coronavirusBy Finlay GreigMonday, 2nd March 2020, 3:12 pm[data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,"Try to avoid crowded areas, or places where you might interact with people who are sick."He added: "It’s normal & understandable to feel anxious, especially if your country or community has been affected by #COVID19. Seek official sources of info to protect yourself, loved ones & your community. Plan on how to stay safe at work, school or your place of worship."If you are 60+, or have an underlying condition like cardiovascular disease, a respiratory condition or diabetes, you have a higher risk of developing severe #COVID19. Try to avoid crowded areas, or places where you might interact with people who are sick. #coronavirus— Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (@DrTedros) February 29, 2020Elderly more at riskSevere cases of Covid-19 are far more likely to occur in the elderly and those with serious underlying health conditions.According to statistics from China 15 per cent of those aged over 80 who have contracted coronavirus have died, compared to the 2 per cent death rate for all cases.Dr Margaret Harris of WHO, has also advised that the most vulnerable restructure their routines in order to avoid catching the potentially deadly respiratory disease.She advised them to avoid public transport, mass gatherings - such as football matches - due to potential close proximity with those who have the disease.Harris even advised that people think twice about going to busy shops and supermarkets.Promoted StoriesPolice appeal for help to trace missing Galashiels womanThe Southern ReporterBorders pub open again after being taken to task on TVSamantha Fox At 53 Is Leaving Nothing To ImaginationLawyersFavorite|SponsoredKelso woman admits struggling with police, breaching bail and shouting abuse at exThe Southern Reporter[Pics] Couple Makes A Bet No Eating Out, No Cheat Meals, No Alcohol.

Aye Rickzo... auld duffers shouldn't be booking summer holidays etc, and dont count on another strawberry season. LOL LPM That's OK with me. I don't book holidays, summer or otherwise. Haven't picked strawberries since my grandkids were small. However, I have lost a growing number of old friends to the grim reaper in the last few years. My name, like yours and any others, is on his list. Living is what life is about and that I have done and will do for as long as possible including going to watch the Saints home and away.

I then posted similar figures to yours. World population in 1918 1.5bn, 500 million infected, deaths 50 million from Spanish Flu. Lesser figures for Asian Flu despite world population growth by 1957. Health measures have improved but this bug has hardly got going yet. This poses a very real threat, particularly in view of the way people travel widely compared to 1957 and 1918. Very simple example. Down in the pub yesterday to watch the St J v Celtic Cup match. Young guy there. His sister flew back from Tenerife the day before the cases were reported. She had stated in the hotel involved. Modern travel has opened new channels of infection spread globally.

St.Ricky Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Very interesting to see the Scottish Government response. As I understand it, the rules/law will be amended to allow forcible testing and detention. One of our eminent posters mentioned what they described loosely as the ridiculous behaviour of the Chinese authorities in snatching suspected sufferers to test and detain. Scotland and China. Who would have believed it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
