Doc Holliday Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Once thought to be a far fetched idea in likes of certain Hollywood movies but now it would seem there could be a very real threat to the human species. An extremely contagious and rapidly mutating virus that has fatal consequences. Reports say that it was transferred from an animal (initially undisclosed but thought possibly now to be a snake). It will be interesting to see how this develops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringDon Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 So far, it has a long way to go before it even begins to rival a bad flu year. So don t bother stocking up on the beans and ammo just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I’ve got a hypochondriac mate who simply HAS to have every disease going. You can guarantee he catches this before the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Move Along. Nothing to see here. It's not that bad, the people who have died have had underlying health problems in areas with poor hygiene anyway. Just another disease, just another paranoia injection. 1 minute ago, AVB said: I bet it is nowhere near as bad as man flu. The horror. If it ever jumped gender to women, it would kill every single one that caught it. end of the human race right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retsdon Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) One of my old colleagues now works in Wuhan. The whole city (with a population bigger than London's) is currently locked down and unable to travel. He's been posting pictures from the supermarket of people stocking up supplies.

mick miller Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) It's unlikely too spread to badly here. We don't **** in the streets, spit everywhere and trade live koala's and wolf cubs at food markets like the mainland Chinese do. They're pretty much medieval.
