One minute I’m like why are people worried? The world can’t come to a standstill. The next I’m googling hazmat suits for me and the dogs
You keep posting and make it sound like your superior and try to belittle people that have genuine concerns over a novel virus that experts in virology are very worried about. It's common sense your phone is the worst place and that's what everyone i know is cleaning the most after their hands. People buying a bit extra isn't panic buying, it makes sense now to do it and spread it out. If somewhere goes into lock down that is when shops will be stripped and it's helpful that some people are stocking up before a potential rush!Panicking helps nobody and causes extra harm due to stress, panic buying when it's not necessary and general anxiety all round.
A Chinese woman and her friend were beaten up by two men in Birmingham because "of that virus your lot have brought here"The comment about "not mixing" with an international flight doesn't sit right with me. Anyone on ANY flight could have it. I feel it a slippery slope. People are already facing more racist abuse because of this. In Russia, they are scoping out Asian people and interrogating them. It is dreadful.
If everybody washed their hands properly, and I mean properly, we would all be much better off for it. So many people are really sloppy about hand hygiene and this is how a lot of illnesses are spread.
Yes, me! I work in the NHS and I have a good understanding of what goes on and how these things are handled. The press, especially the tabloids, are just generally fear mongering to sell more papers with their lurid headlines. I'm shocked at how many people seem to believe everything they read in the press, they really shouldn't - I think a lot if people just love a drama though. If people take sensible precautions, like washing their hands thoroughly, not touching their faces with unclean hands (that's how a lot of viruses are transmitted), catching coughs and sneezes in a tissue etc, then most people will be fine. If people want to use a hand sanitiser, make sure it is an alcohol gel as the alcohol penetrates the virus and kills it - anti-bacterial gels won't do so if they are not alcohol gel. I think a lot if people need to calm down and keep a sense of perspective - just be sensible, keep calm and carry on, the worst thing we can do is panic.I know I’m probably in the monitory but is anyone else generally not concerned? Just like I wasn’t with swine flu or SARS.
Six weeks on my own ... awesome... six weeks with a newborn a 4 year old and an 8 year old because schools are shut not so awesomeI’m projecting, I’m the type to get antsy after one day stuck inside!
Having been to many parts of China this is not true... if anything the people have terrible public etiquette, spitting in the street, blowing their noses without a tissue, burping without covering their mouths ... no soap in public bathrooms... it’s easy to see how it has spread!Considering almost everyone in China walks around with a facemask on too. ...
I'm fairly sure we'd have at least a fortnight's worth of food with my usual shop. Half of me thinks it's crazy to panic buy but the other half knows damn well that I'll be adding a few extra tins to the trolleyWe bought at least 2 week's worth and put it in the basement. We've always said we should have one as we are prone to bad snow storms.
Funnily enough, loo roll is the one thing that I bought extra of last week. I can live off of cereal and beans but I'm not wiping my arse on newspaperAs much as it’s scaring me my kids would be the last I’d let get it unless I knew for sure there was no lasting damage so with you on that one!!
after me saying yesterday my supermarkets weren’taffected. I went to Asda this morning and the place looked like it had been ransacked. Security guard limiting hand soup and hand gel to two per person! We have 1 case in Scotland! I was slightly baffled lol loads of loo roll though!
