Coronavirus worries?

Even the church is getting in on it!

The Church of England has also issued guidance to parishioners on how to avoid spreading the virus, including the washing of hands, using sanitisers and refraining from dipping the bread in the wine at the Eucharist.
However, the church said use of the common cup for communion could continue unless the virus was declared a pandemic.

Shot over the bows guys. Please keep it civil - you know who you are. Humour is fine but when posts verges on personal attacks, you’re breaking forum rules.

We’re monitoring and will take action if we think this is getting out of hand.

Approximately 0.00005% of the Chinese population have the virus. And of those, 1-2% are fatal cases.

You are massively overreacting. Perhaps you should stop watching the news and reading the papers etc.

The incubation period is 2-14 days, period. The fact you read that it could be 24 days has been discarded by WHO, as indicating people who have had a second exposure during the period.

So what? Numbers go up, and will eventually double. That's how numbers work.

Exactly. A very small number times two is still very small.

I heard from a friend they had heard they’re advising to keep cats indoors due to coronavirus?!? I think that’s madness there is no way my cat is going to become a carrier where I live!! Got fetch your mice wee man just avoid the snakes and bats!!!

Yeah but what if your cat brings home a dead bat? I can literally write the thread just based on reading experience

But doesn't that mean the virus is more deadly than what we thought? Is it still at the 2% range?
