So one of our MPs has it, she met with Bojo a few days ago and they're all going to cram into the Houses of Parliament today for the budget speech. Is this a good idea?

I think we should all sing REM's "it's the end of the world as we know it" while washing our hands(a song that was 33 years ahead of it's time).

You should sing Friday I'm in Love while washing your hands.

For some reason people are told to sing Happy Birthday while washing hands instead of: If You're Happy and you Know it wash your Hands.

Everything I have read from the medical end simply states to take the same precautions you do with preventing influenza. Being CLEAN is the most important, washing your hands often and especially after coming in contact with groups or simply going to the store. Limit hand shaking and hugs for now........
I can't imagine any doctor saying "don't use antibacterial products", its something and it helps clean your hands, with simple soap and warm water being the best option. If you become sick with a fever then you are in a different genre of people.......You should not go anywhere!! I am 100% confident in the US medical system that it will be controlled sooner than later. I am not sure about the comment that "America dont understand"?? Reports I hear and read about that there are several vaccines ready for testing, although that will take time. My local SuperWalmart has been out of toilet paper since the weekend, no bleach and very little cleaning products on the shelves....People clearly panic and bought all of it, not sure why.

Hi, Heck, I originally thought that it was a ploy to get Taiwan and Hong Kong in trouble so that China would be welcomed and thanked for helping!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Also, what Swedish doctors are saying is that warm water and soap is more effective against the fatty shell of the virus and removes it more effectively than alcohol based sanitisers and anti-bacterials. Any surgeon will tell you it is the process of the brisk movement, as they themselves do, when washing their hands that is of most importance not the medium being used.

Please, dont talk about madness. This is a real emergency and I am worry that America dont understand.
When the numbers of the dead persons will be high, maybe America will understand, but it will be too late. And anyway, here in Europe health is a right, we have not to pay for dagnosis and cure.

I go by what Doctors say not newspapers. Anti-bacterials cannot kill a virus. |

We are out of hand sanitizer in the stores here, but I haven't checked the toilet paper situation yet. Gee, I might have to use paper towels and other stuff I can't flush down the toilet.
In all seriousness, if epidemiologists and virologists are telling people over 80, people with pre-existing conditions, and compromised immune systems to avoid crowds and make sure they have enough supplies then maybe this is something a bit more than "just the flu." This hoarding is keeping those most vulnerable from getting the resources they need, especially if they need to isolate themselves for an extended period of time.

Some points;
1. Idiots claiming the common flu each year is worse. Well, COVID 19 is already a much bigger pandemic than SARS and MERS combined and has already taken more lives than SARS and MERS combined. 2. Anti-bacterial face masks and hand cleansers are USELESS against a virus. Surgeons all over the world are pleading - stop buying up all our face masks, we need them so that bacteria from us doesn't infect the person on the operating table. 3. I am not worried about the hysteria and panic buying, I live in rural Sweden, I haven't seen any of it. The only thing that worries me is the virus itself and protecting my sick 16 year old son from it. Edited by LAM-SGC - March 10 2020 at 07:34 |

We only have China's word that it's under control. Their record on truth is even worse than our own. I wouldn't be surprised if it was dangerously out of control over there. |

Well, that's essentially what happened after 2008. The banks were bailed and the debt passed on to everyone else, while the speculators cleaned up. The system is apparently designed to work like that. Ron Paul had the right idea; make it clear to the banks that if they fail, they're on their own, and the architects of the collapse go to jail.
