Re: Chinese Coronavirus
Let's hope their recent 'quick-build' hospital (two weeks' to build?) was constructed better than this hotel, being used as a coronavirus quarantine facility, which recently collapsed:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-51784167

Anyway ,if you happen to be someone using public transport ,think the Tube for instance ,what chance have commuters to wash their hands on their journey into work ? Think about how many times they must touch surfaces countless others have .

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
Trouble is......You can be as vigilant as you like but anyone visiting your house (Friends, Neighbours, Family) must be as fastidious as you or else you're wasting your time. And don't forget, for the first three days of being infected there are no symptoms but can still be passed on, that's one of the reasons it's gone viral.......Pardon the pun...

I believe you should always practice the sensible things like thoroughly washing your hands, sneezing into a tissue or your sleeve etc and not be responsible for the spread of any germs. Keeping a healthy lifestyle is also important. I guess my attitude is…..if it’s my time, it’s my time and in the meantime, I refuse to be thrown into a panic and will continue to enjoy life with a few precautions during this difficult time.

I totally agree. This virus is much more dangerous than people think. The average flu kills only .1% of infected people. However, the covid-19, which has mutated into 2 distinct viruses, kills 2.4% of infected people.
It has not yet turned into a "wildfire", but it soon might. All it would take is for one single infected human to get on the London tube or the N.Y. C. subway at rush hour and it will be totally out of control.
One thing is certain. With my underlying health issues, (COPD and a poor heart), if I contract it, it will be GAME, SET, MATCH for me. All I hope for is that it will end me very quickly.
