I think that the spread of this virus is going to be unstoppable. It will end up being a pandemic .

I was listening to Farage on LBC and he started to talk about the Coronavirus and if you’d just come back skiing from Italy blah blah blah. I remembered a friend of mine his son went skiing in Italy so I phoned him up to see how his boy was and he said he’s fine, some are in quarantine however, most were fine and ok including his boy. The school has kept them all off school today as well, I guess just in case. He also said another local school was right in the centre off it and apparently it was mayhem, kids taking themselves to hospital, leaving them on the slopes while they dealt with other kids.

We need to stop people travelling. Proper boarders to stop people coming in and our would have stopped the disease coming here.

We need to stop these foreign diseases coming her infecting British people.

British diseases for British people









For the stupid people, I am not being serious

I feel really bad for all those ski wankers and other half term holidayers who may have contracted this.

This has the potential to be bad, really bad, it's scary - and I can see the time coming when stands are almost completely empty at matches.

But enough about Ross' management, this virus thing is quite worrying as well

According to figures maintained by the World Health Organisation, around 2,700 people have died due to Coronavirus.

Meanwhile, it also reports that anually, there's anything between 290,000 - 650,000 deaths from respiratory diseases - linked to seasonal flu.

I guess the media just can't generate such mass hysteria from a simple flu headline these days?

There are vaccines available for flu, at the moment there isnt one for coronovirus.

Flu death rate 0.1%
Coronovirus death rate 2%

Most people's facts are opinion or figures that whilst correct are spun to support a biased figure eg the least 2 sets of figures
2700 Death from Corona virus
290k-650k from respiratory diseases linked to flu

Corona virus death rate 2%
Flu death rate 0.1%

I have no reason to doubt accuracy of both sets of figures. Each of which supports an opposite view. Both are spun figures to support the proponents view

Fact? Pah
