Italy. I'm in Lombardy so it's everywhere around here.Where is that?
It might be feasible from a theorethical point of view (i.e. a large droplet in very quick deliveries), but it is not and will never be an important mode of transmission for a virus of this sort.I appreciate that but the is it safe to receive a package? answers all seem to be inferring that the context of the question is international shipping or at least logistics that spans over a longer time and/or distance. What I am questioning is whether that logic applies to Amazon style logistics where you can order something, it be dispatched and reach you within a day. With that sort of quick turnover and short supply chain I don't see why it wouldn't be feasible that someone infected at the picking warehouse or depot couldn't infect a tonne of parcels which then sometimes reach their destinations in a matter of hours.
Number of cases has gone by 300% in the UK in one week. We could have 100-200 confirmed cases by the end of the week. By why bother taking action now? Death happens anyway.Only a matter of time, reckon we'll now see double the amount of cases every day as the incubation period comes to the end...
I'm more worried about how blase the majority of the people of it are, with most people not caring at all if they get it (not thinking about infecting the more vulnerable).
Hoping it gets taken a bit more seriously and businesses allow working remotely etc. As my workplace with ~10,000 people on site is an absolute breeding ground for this, and it only takes one case to get confirmed for it to be spread to most of the company.
Then I could buy cheap shite spirits, a quick distillation, mix with washing up liquid to form a gel and I've cracked it. I could be bigger than Procter and Gamble by the end of the year. If only I weren't bone idle and highly likely to drink so much of the spirits I'd be incapable of remembering the rest.unfortunately at least 50% alcohol is needed for efficacy
The French don't need a second invite to not work.Louvre workers decided unilaterally to not open the museum.
This is why it will become an epidemic without a doubt, ignorance is bliss etc.Hearing reports from some colleagues and doctors' fora that some patients are presenting to gps or A&Es, lying about the reason they're there to get through triage without being quarantined or told to go home and then sitting in front of the doctor and admitting they're worried about corona.
The selfishness and complete lack of awareness of some people is mind boggling.
I was thinking the same courtesy of my days playing Pandemic.In a few days we should start having some better indications about how the virus spreads in the southern hemisphere. If it's less infectious/lethal in warmer climates then spring in the northern hemisphere might come and give us a big help.
Speculative, but possible at the moment. It's where I rest my hopes for the best case scenario.
Yep, feckin idiots. Ironically for them if they have just got a poxy cold then they couldn't possible visit a worse place to catch it. I'm staying well away from doctors surgeries and hospitals for the forseeable.This is why it will become an epidemic without a doubt, ignorance is bliss etc.
Well it's probably because there's been very little communication to the public especially the numpties. And maybe the media should stop calling it a killer fecking virus which it isn't.Yep, feckin idiots. Ironically for them if they have just got a poxy cold then they couldn't possible visit a worse place to catch it. I'm staying well away from doctors surgeries and hospitals for the forseeable.
That said I do think some people are bordering on becoming slightly hysterical about it. As usual there is a healthy balance to be found somewhere in between.
They're in the highest bracket in this index for preparedness for this type of situation. The UK is even higher and 2nd in the world on it so hopefully we are well equipped for what may come. I have no idea of how important this index is but some disease expert in The Guardian was referencing it as a good indicator.On a positive note, South Korea has a mortality rate of 0.66%. They seem to be doing things the right way.
If it wasn't so horrendously preposterous and subsequently dangerous, it would be funny.
Vomit inducing.
That’s nonsense. Think about what you e just written.Hoping it gets taken a bit more seriously and businesses allow working remotely etc. As my workplace with ~10,000 people on site is an absolute breeding ground for this, and it only takes one case to get confirmed for it to be spread to most of the company.
It's not entirely wrong. Given that you can pass the virus on without showing any symptoms yourself means it could easily pass through an organisation before anyone would become aware. I mean its the main reason why this virus is considered such a huge threat.That’s nonsense. Think about what you e just written.
One case spreads to most of the company?!? No.
Tried thoughts and prayers. But my crypto is still deadGo easy on them ffs. It's worked wonders for gun control in America so it makes perfect sense to use it as the go to defence against a virus.
Well, depending on the type of workplace, it may not infect everyone but effectively affect everyone, as the place will, at the very least, stop operating for a few days. If it goes on as usual then yes, it can spread to most of the company.That’s nonsense. Think about what you e just written.
One case spreads to most of the company?!? No.
They'll be shooting into thin air next.
I think the diamond cruise ship has already demonstrated how quickly it will spread within a close contact area.That’s nonsense. Think about what you e just written.
One case spreads to most of the company?!? No.
I thought this, too. We could easily shut down school for a week or two. And work places should look to maybe split workload and have fewer people in at once or start increasing the number of people working from home.I think the diamond cruise ship has already demonstrated how quickly it will spread within a close contact area.
This things as infectious as a common cold and think how quickly that goes around the office.
My place has plans to make half work at home and spread everyone out. Not sure how effective that will be.
If this is possible I think it's the right sort of attitude that will be very effective when applied in a grand scale.My place has plans to make half work at home and spread everyone out. Not sure how effective that will be.
I expect Trump has already floated the possibility of nuking the Covid-19 virus.They'll be shooting into thin air next.
Aren't there 700 cases on there, on a ship of 3,700 (so far with 7 deaths), in a ship where they were literally all locked in and quarantined with no escape?I think the diamond cruise ship has already demonstrated how quickly it will spread within a close contact area.

As Angel said above, it's got a 2 week incubation period, and some people who tested positive showed little to no symptoms at all, so someone can go by without knowing and spread it around. Canteen has a few hundred people in it at once around lunchtime, we have communal taps for boiling water, toilet doors etc. Not to mention everyone within my office has on average 3-4 meetings a day with 5-10 people in a meeting room on average.That’s nonsense. Think about what you e just written.

Sense. Good, well articulated post.As Angel said above, it's got a 2 week incubation period, and some people who tested positive showed little to no symptoms at all, so someone can go by without knowing and spread it around.

Not a ridiculous claim at all. Do you believe that the 40 confirmed cases in the UK are actually the only infected people? In the coming weeks I reckon we'll go up to 1000's, simply because people aren't showing symptoms yet, yet have the virus already.
I’m off to Japan for my honeymoon in 4 weeks. What do you suggest we do? Cancel it all, lose thousands as insurance won’t cover unless we are told we cannot go and just stay home? Planned for two years, fortune spent etcYeah. However, I would think that people should try to avoid recreational travelling to the most affected countries for the time being though. It’s not like we’re in the middle of the vacation season.
Japan isn’t one of the most affected countries, is it? I‘m talking about going to hotspots like Northern Italy and the Wuhan region.I’m off to Japan for my honeymoon in 4 weeks.

Weird mindset to have. Call me selfish but there isn’t a chance we would consider not going unless the flights are cancelled.
If they just got up and did wudu (ablution) they would have cleaned their hands, nostrils, mouth, face and hair in one fail swoop. Just saying. Maybe that's a tweet Guz Khan could use.
