Can't really see that happening
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
We can only speculate, but I've had similar experiences several times during my life when struggling with a cold or similar illness. It's that typical, constant, never-changing but slightly foul sense of smell and taste that I've come to associate with illness. It's so constant that I can imagine other people experiencing it as a loss of taste and smell. As to why they're only reporting it now? Could be that initially no one thought it worth mentioning until someone said it and several other people started thiking "you know what, that's also what I'm experiencing". Or perhaps it's a slightly different strain, it's hard to tell at this point. It would be premature to start drawing any conclusions just yet I'd think.
Nothing was reported until recently and ageusia is one of the possible symptoms for pneumonia but also the flu and a simple cold, and in general inflammation of the respiratory system. It was probably under reported because it's not remarkable, the patient needs to actually complain about it and we didn't had a lot of cases.
Hancock on his feet in the Commons, very impressive performance and man on top of his brief... funny never rated him before, "cometh the hour cometh the man".
Yes indeed. It beggars belief, how blasé the attitude from government has been towards human life, and front line workers.
We have 2 weeks worth of infected, yet to hit the hospitals. We need to cap that last week.
Isn't it pretty unlikely for them to have caught it in December? Maybe they had a really bad flu. I had one and I rarely ever get sick as well.
Apologies for a stupid question, how do I clean banknotes? Lots of shopping in Uzbekistan is still done by using cash. No jokes about money laundering, please.
If Weinstein dies from it, prepare for conspiracy theory overdrive
Put them in the oven - you'll have to google the temp, I can't remember. If you get it too high/too long, they'll go brittle though.
Wear gloves, it's a simpler solution than trying to clean bank notes.
You're not from round these parts are you..........
He'll end up in the same graveyard that Robert Maxwell was buried in.

Wear gloves, wash your hands when you've finished.
Got to be honest, the amount of people I've seen hawking up a lung infront of the card machines in shops, I've been using cash as much as possible too.
I mean, yeah, that's what exponential means.
If you can gather as many of these Uzbekistan bank notes as possible and then send then to me I can arrange to cleanse them thoroughly and send them back to you. It might be an idea to get all your friends and family (and anyone else you bump into to) to do the same thing as I provide this service free of charge. Just remember to send me a stamped address envelope. Lets all contribute to staying safe.
The people in cars are a bit silly but at least they're far less likely to spread anything.
I love a maccies tbh, guilty pleasure, but I could not be arsed going there today as expected mass queuing and chaos tbh.
It's a nice little pleasure, but nothing id go crazy over like these clowns are.
I feel like these are mostly people whose kids will only eat Happy Meals.
So when will there be an announcement?
Of all the things you could panic buy, a McDonald's meal...
Until a few weeks, Tomas Pueyo was just another Silicon Valley entrepreneur. He has no background or credentials in this whatsoever.
It might still be an interesting read, but it's a Medium article from a rent-a-mouth, rather than the work of someone who should have any influence whatsoever on what strategies governments should pursue.
Agreed.
spoilsport!
Can you get your hands on one of those Ultraviolet sanitisers they have in the barbers? Will that kill corona?
EDIT: Looks like it'll do the trick:

They should re-air Supersize Me whilst people are stuck home glued to the tv.
My friend who's had the symptoms for the last 2 weeks (fever, cough) has completely lost his appetite and says the taste and smell of food revolts him.
The death rate in the UK is promising at least!
I posted something before I think (not sure if this thread) from an FT piece I read (sheer fluke, don't read FT all the time).
Germany have more tests which include more young people (as opposed to a lot of countries which are priority driven and have a higher % of older people).
More tests = more cases, but
More young people = less deaths (from positive cases)
So death rate lower per case
Is it really terrifying? It sounds an awful lot like having the flu... Because it's a flu virus...
Anyone else got this channel on their telly? No idea where it came from or who's in charge of it. They're playing relaxing music but every time there's an update they're using something resembling the 24 theme song
Neither am I but very considered and statemanlike.

Surely discussing further lockdown
Something you didn't think you'd be saying this spring.
exactly. i can't smell or taste shit when my sinuses are all fecked up.
The worrying this is he's not cleared yet, and I think there's about a month since he initially got the symptoms? Does this suggest the virus can lay dormant in cases - similar to HIV?
Doctors in the US basically ruled out Coronavirus because he hadn’t been to China recently
I reckon the lock down we will see implemented tonight will be the London Boroughs.
I get chronic sinusitis and my taste and smell are nearly always reduced with an attack making them disappear completely. Seems a normal symptom that one might have with this.
