Colona Vilus , SALS , infruenza , Sole Thloat , Red Fever , Dreaded Rurgy , Code Red , Chinamans Chance . 

summat that implies counterfeit.

My Mrs came back from there a few months ago, bought me back the local delicacy, a bag of barbecued duck necks - tasted like finger nails.

The viruses mutate constantly, so its likely that this virus has been exposed to humans many times before, but hadn't mutated in a way that enabled it to get inside human cells until now.

All the forms of flu that humans can catch have been traced back to jumping from animals - they reckon we didn't have flu until we started domesticating animals 10,000 years ago.

 

Hey fever is a new disease too. Much more recent than that.

Not sure who to blame for it though.

A joke you say ? Must of missed it 

folk saying its engineered and someone posts a picture of a man in a tinfoil hat.. 

but the man in the picture is Weird Al Yankovic who did a few parodies of songs involving Food. 

i posted the wrong one, shouldve been "Eat It ! " , where he sings about eating anything , but he mentions japanese starving not chinese. (!!)

Anyone bought any masks yet? £40 for 10 on amazon🤷‍♂️, someone's making a killing.

Apparently the surgical ones are only good at stopping you from spreading the virus if you have it, they do nothing to stop you from catching it, because air follows the path of least resistance the virus droplets will get in through the sides when you breath in.

You see them being worn all the time when Japan etc is on the news. Not just now.

I presumed it's a cultural thing over there, them not wanting to spread a cold or something that they may have.

Correct pal. They are very conscious of spreading to other people so you often see people wearing them and it’s so they don’t spread it to others. Imagine that courtesy on these shores!

They wear them to protect from air pollution in parts of Asia, and its a bit of a fashion thing in Japan, apparently it accentuates the eyes and makes you look mysterious - might try it tonight on the mrs with a home-made one, see if adds to the allure.

Not disputing that they eat like beasts. Been to China and seen it first hand

im just of the opinion that for This to stem from one person catching this from one bat seems rather odd and statistically improbable 

Thing is, and we did this about a week ago, if it starts off with a single person and he/she passes it to one other, on day two there are two each giving it to one other  person...

Day 21 brings up a million infected people, day 22 = 2M

Zico has a gimp mask I’m sure he’ll let you borrow after tonight’s tactical espionage.

Just tried it on my Mrs with an old pair of underkex of mine, it didn't work.

I understand the maths of that but I just feel that there is more to this than meets the eye personally

 Nobody, it doesn't really exist. Its just for attention seekers

Not sure what standard they are, but I'm not sure how effective they'd be against the tiny particulates from diesels, and not against  gaseous pollutants.

Doesn't work exponentially like that because once it gets widespread into communities, some of the people you come in contact with, would already have had it, and some people wont pass it on to any others because they're asymptomatic or they use hygiene methods / self quarantine to not pass it on.

We are already on day 37 (probably more like day 50), and up to 25,000 cases, 491 deaths. If the same pattern continues, and none of the preventative measures work, it could take until April for there to be 491 deaths in the UK.  Hundreds, sometimes thousands of people die in the flu season in the UK already.

Also it typically takes more than a day before you can pass it on, more like 3 at the earliest, potentially up to 10 days.

Just said on the news that hospitals have been told to prepare a secure quarantine areas to house/treat those infected. Does that mean they're expecting a spread here, or just a reassurance to the public?

I'd be massively surprised if it doesn't spread all around the world to some extent, but it will likely take longer than most are expecting, it will probably be months before it spikes, and affluent countries like Western Europe/ USA etc will be able to slow it down better,  and mortality rates in Europe will probably be lower because of higher existing health standards and better advice / medical support / hygiene standards. 

It's likely there will be either a vaccine or anti viral medication to help with it in the future but we have no idea how long it will take. 

The virus will mutate and spread around the world in waves, some of the strains will be less virulent, it will reappear for decades to come - forms of spanish flu from 1918 is still swirling round the world every year, killing thousands.
