Cow dung is your only hope now.I feel a thing coming on. Scratchy throat, bit of a headache, eyes watery. The only human contact I had was at badminton on Sunday where there were many Chinese.
Will a snort of First Defence save me?

You can safely open the boxes. Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses, which are extremely vulnerable to dissication, and don't survive long outside of optimal humidity and temperature conditions, which are only found in living organisms, fluids, etc.That makes it sound hard to catch but the numbers and speed of spread suggest otherwise.
I've got 4 boxes of product here from Jiangsu, China, from a company that has been closed for two weeks in precaution of the virus (I don't know if this is due to a case of the virus in the workforce or not). I am actually a little concerned about opening the boxes. I need what's inside to complete some client work needed this week.
My colleague and I have decided to PPE up and treat the boxes and the contents carefully. Are we being daft?
Aha, like a mutating virus. Gotcha.Putin's creatively changed the rules so he's been able to stay in power as either president or prime minister, indefinitely.
Another smash hit from your friendly neighbourhood Dwazza.Love your tag line! That song is mine and my partners favourite song to do the Samba to.
Victims as in 28,000+ confirmed cases maybe?What's this news of killing 20000 victims? just heard someone mention it at work.
20k dead? It was less than 600 the last I heard.What's this news of killing 20000 victims? just heard someone mention it at work.

Apparently the Chinese company Tencent (who own shares in reddit among other investments) released the 20k figure yesterday but changed back to the official government figure within a couple of hours.20k dead? It was less than 600 the last I heard.
Like 20,000 confirmed dead? If so, surely someone got a screen grab... it is reddit after all.Apparently the Chinese company Tencent (who own shares in reddit among other investments) released the 20k figure yesterday but changed back to the official government figure within a couple of hours.

Seems like he’s not dead after all. His heart stopped, but they managed to keep him alive. He’s in critical condition though.The doctor who first warned the world of the virus just passed away. 34 years old.
I'm not sure about 20k plus fatalities but I wouldn't be in the least surprised if the number of infected was far, far greater. It's what you'd expect really, in fact I'd be shocked it the official numbers were true. I think it's pretty obvious to keep the numbers down as low as possible so as not to spread absolute panic and chaos, and I'm sure Chinese would have forecasted the hit this was going to take on their stock market so that's another reason to keep the numbers down.

Yeah, just saw it. Even WHO declared him dead at some point.Seems like he’s not dead after all. His heart stopped, but they managed to keep him alive. He’s in critical condition though.
Thats how the Zombie apocalypse began. First you die, then you come back as a zombie.Yeah, just saw it. Even WHO declared him dead at some point.
Hope he pulls through!
Yes.Can we really believe the numbers coming out of China?

Until this week, it was similar here in India. You'd have very lax checking at airports and clearly loads and loads of people have gotten into various countries unchecked and untested.The problem arises when other countries responses are predicated on what china are saying.
A woman posted a video from Dhaka airport yesterday saying that none of the Chinese arrivals had been checked nor any other passengers from the plane, the people were kept only a few metres away from passengers who were departing Dhaka for other destinations.

No is the short answer. The cases have been steadily climbing and I wouldn't be surprised if they're drip feeding us the actual numbers.Can we really believe the numbers coming out of China?
NopeCan we really believe the numbers coming out of China?
I'd imagine the Wuhan figures are rather accurate but not so much elsewhere in China. They seem to be doing door to door checks and taking away the infected nowCan we really believe the numbers coming out of China?
The key to a nation that suppresses freedom of information and journalism is watch what they do, not what they say.No is the short answer. The cases have been steadily climbing and I wouldn't be surprised if they're drip feeding us the actual numbers.
I think 60 of those are on a cruise ship moored offshore, so not as bad as it seems.Seeing the figures this morning that Japan is up to 80 odd, will be interesting and telling if they can contain it or not from here on in.
That’s what scaremongering doesCant help but compare the feeling I get when talking about this particular virus without thinking of the numerous Zombie films I have watched over the years where it practically starts out in a controlled manner before it naturally goes completely tits-up.
