Ehhh ?

They're similar illnesses caused by different viruses. Both cause fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, and sometimes vomitting and diarrhea. Both can be mild, severe, and even fatal. And both can result in pneumonia. Similarly, both can be spread person to person, through droplets in the air from coughing, sneezing, talking, spitting, all of that shite. And both can spread by an infected person days before symptoms appear (maybe weeks in terms of COVID-19 - we don't really know yet). I think the biggest differences between flu viruses and coronaviruses (because COVID-19 is just 1 coronavirus, other coronaviruses include SARS & MERS) is it's a different family of diseases. And as far as we know, COVID-19 - our "novel 2019 coronavirus" is caused by the strain of virus going around. With the flu we know it's caused by several different types and strains of the influenza virus. The other biggest difference is the higher mortality rate we're seeing from this coronavirus than we see from most strains of the flu. And of course, that because it's a new virus we don't have people who are immune to it & there's no vaccine currently.

Well, first off I am by now the type of fanboy who will defend just about any Megadeth record, and my general tastes differ from the consensus in a lot of areas; I consider Youthanasia and Cryptic Writings to both be top 3 Megadeth albums, and while I like Countdown to Extinction, I don't really understand the hype around it. All that being said, even with all my snowflakeyness I can't deny that Rust in Peace is the best record they ever did. In terms of style, themes and execution, I consider it the perfect thrash record. So if it were up to me, I'd definitely get that one before any others. Of course, any of those albums will do fine, but I'm considering getting Rust in Peace on vinyl even though I don't even have a working record player at the moment.

Tbh, I don't have a clue. I'm actually a bit nervous about them traveling back with the panic of this virus not really calming down because it just keeps spreading - I imagine airports are epicenters of infections right now. And I don't know when I'll be heading back to the UK, I had planned to go back in May actually but I never bought the tickets. And right now I'm a bit scared of traveling around other people - as just this morning we've been given a notice at work that all business trips we had scheduled are suspended until further notice. Which is pretty big news as a lot of us, myself included, go on several business trips a year.

If you have a Battle.Net ID that works better mine is - Mel81x (Mel81x#1780)

SARS and MERS have ridiculously high mortality rates though - so you'd think if they thought it was either of those, they'd be pretty fucking panicked.

Without wanting to start anything off, money is king in America, regardless of ethics or morals. Didn't someone say earlier on in this thread that those who wanted to return to America had to pay for a seat?

A creative, adventurous attacking midfielder. We'll knock that out of him.

Should there be a sequel to the film? No. Am I still looking forward to it? Yes.

Man I love my parents, it’s shit having great days like today and knowing at the end of the week they’ll be back home and I’ll be back to being a world away from them.

Surely hope you won't have anything to celebrate during this match.
