True Blue 971 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 2 minutes ago, Stan said: Bosnia has confirmed 2 new cases @True Blue 3500 people on a cruise ship just off California called The Grand Princess - a former passenger on there has died... A cruise ship just off Athens has told all its passengers to stay on the ship; a former passenger has tested positive for the virus... Just read it yeah, two confirmed cases in a city called Banja Luka up north. A adult man and his child infected, but as our sources claim stable. If we had an epidemic we would all die, our country can't contain shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) You wouldn't think there had been a recent rise in cases here in Barcelona as everything is just as normal. Liverpool airport and Barcelona airport were both very quiet though! Edited March 5, 2020 by Carnivore Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,190 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 California's declared a state of emergency after the first coronavirus death in the state and the virus has appeared in 12 different counties infecting over 50 people. They're now trying to locate anyone who was on the Grand Princess cruise ship to see if they've got the virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are expecting to be quarantined for a while, or to self-quarantine and not leave their house for a while. So they've taken all the bog rolls in San Diego and fucked off back to their houses for "stockpiling" - the selfish bastards. Personally, I think they're mental and a bunch of twats and I hope I don't run out of toilet paper anytime soon because of these selfish fuckfaces. It's also got me a bit worried about what else might become scarce. One of my cats has medically prescribed food... so if more people start this stockpiling mentality, I worry that he won't be able to get the food he needs to stay alive. I should probably order some now just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo 8,190 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 13 minutes ago, Cicero said: Out of curiosity, what are the main differences between influenza and coronavirus? 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted March 5, 2020 Administrator Share Posted March 5, 2020 What's the age range for fatalities? Has that even been published? I know it's generally elderly people who are or who can suffer the most. But I'm wondering should I be at the panic stage of this thing or just go about normal business for now?
