There's a lot of other unsung heroes that should be recognised as well. I feel particularly sorry for shop workers at the moment with the shit they're having to put up with.

I give them all a thumbs up

The next time I'm at a supermarket check out I'm going to clap the checkout operator everytime they scan an item

That's why I said smaller ones pal

One different gene and SARS would have been this bad only a million times worse because it killed a far higher percentage of people. 
 

It’s just random chance. Viruses move from animals to humans every so often. It’s just mostly they don’t become able to pass between humans. Sometimes they mutate so they can. But then they might not be that virulent. This one has the cell binding protein gene that makes it a good spreader. It it lacked that we’d have been able to stop it.

Getting a bit tiresome, its like socialism would deal with it better, but all we want is for all political parties to work together and be supportive, political points scoring can take a back seat until this is all over.

Should do more is all Labour ever say. Joke party and that’s sad.

It seems to me that with viruses, the easier they spread the less deadly? Or do the deadlier ones kill their hosts too soon before they can spread?

They are right clever fuckers either way the minuscule little bastards.

I've had three this week, but had to give them up, they've  offered to let me take em next year, but will probably just let em go tbh.

The applause was brilliant round here. Hopefully becomes a bigger event each week. 
 

I stuck up for shop staff getting abuse today. Bloke walks off in a huff. The cunt was in Morrisons and only thing he was buying ? Engine oil.

It’s just random chance. But a really deadly virus is easier to stop quicker because it’s hosts die and also easier to identify given severe illness. Trouble with this one is most have relatively mild illness. In a way worse of all worlds. BUT better than something like a novel influenza outbreak that could be far deadlier but with equal infection rates.
