Yes of course we are all jittery and I understand that , non of us want it and are worried but I'm sure most healthy folk will get over it . Build yourself up with good vitamins now so you can fight it if you are unfortunate enough to catch it .

That's what I'm doing

I hear it's nastier than the usual flu virus as this one is attacking peoples lungs and causing pneumonia which is killing people. I had pneumonia 2 years ago and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, it's very frightening. I think because I've had it myself is the reason I'm worrying more than usual, it almost killed me and took me 4 months to recover.

I've too have had pneumonia but cannot recall anything about it as that was not long after I was born. At 3lb 2oz at birth I guess I am very lucky to still be around. I have a scar on my lung to prove it and the offer of a pneumonia inoculation a while ago was taken up.

It doesn't matter what it's like to die from it! or indeed survive. It's about the end of the world, I wouldn't want that.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I'm not jittery. My dear wife went to the shopping mall today. She suggested that I stay at home. Because of radiotherapy my immune system is a bit deficient. Mixing with crowds is probably not a good idea.

No. Absolutely not. I have been using Clorox bleach (what you folks seem to call, thin bleach) since I was in my teens. It gets whites WHITER, not yellowish.
1/2 cupful /laundry load. Add only when the washing machine is full of water. It also DISINFECTS not only laundry but almost anything. For example, when mopping/scrubbing the floors.
