Hi

They are levelling the site and putting services in,

The hospital is prefabricated and they have the resources to build, equip and staff it in that time.

We here in the UK could not do such a thing.

They are also building a second such hospital.

China, along with many other countries has a large and very effective civil defence and emergency system.

We have dismantled ours.

Yes, I agree. This is why I said a few posts back, if it were us, we would still be trying to round up MP's to come back from the holidays and discuss it even!

Our hospital can't even cope as it is, so I don't know what will happen or where they could possibly put people if the virus comes here. I bet you we will be totally unprepared.

Another thing is, with this type of killer virus, I feel very strongly that the unfortunate people who die, must be cremated, never buried.

I have said this for years with other deadly illnessess.
Who knows if illnessess like this contaminates the soil?
It should be a legal requisite that cremation only must be carried out.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I hobbled to the shops this morning and a Chinese lady was coming towards me wearing a mask. I couldn't help holding my breath until she had gone way past me.

My thoughts were she may have arrived here recently.

You're braver than me, Mags - I'd have crossed over and still held my breath!

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Those masks are pointless in this respect in my opinion. They would never prevent the passage of viruses because these are microscopic and the interstices (holes) in the matrix of the textiles used can be seen with the aid of a low power magnifying glass, meaning the viruses could pass through the mask with ease.

Hi

The viruses are transmitted on water vapour in the breath so masks can be effective in casual transmission.

Ordinary masks are useless as they are saturated in minutes.

FFP3 Masks are much more effective.

There is evidence that this family of viruses can also be spread by surface contact.

A ggod mask is far better than nothing.
