Corona Virus

   It would seem that this topic has replaced the weather in our everyday conversations. Should you be wearing a mask (seemingly not, unless you are already sick and want to protect your fellow humans)? Is your hand sanitizer alcohol based (I think they all are now)?

   In my opinion the media is upping the anxiety level and people are quite too worried. There have only been two cases identified in this city of 3 million, so why are parent keeping kids home from school and getting up petitions to ostrasize East Asian members of their communities. That is outright racism!

   I'm sure we will have more cases in the next few weeks but as long as the general public follows a few basic health and safety measures, such as regular hand washing and coughing into your sleeve rather than hand, (which we should be doing anyway during 'flu season) the contagion shouldn't spread into the general population.

   I may eat my words before the epidemic is over but nothing will be gained from becoming hysterical.

  1. You're right, it is dopwnright racism and it's shocking. People are panicking, aren't they?
    Stay safe.

    1. We have pockets of high East Asian populations who are being "scapegoated", with businesses suffering. Xenophobia pure and simple.

  2. I think if people were more considerate when ill and stayed at home there would be fewer epidemics. Simple hand washing, use of handkerchiefs and other simple measures all help limit the spread of disease. Most illness caused by viruses can be managed simply with bed rest, fluids and simple analgesia in the general population. It is the elderly, the vey young, and those with chronic disease or who are immunocompromised that are more susceptible.
    There doesn’t seem to be any rise in panic levels here in the UK yet thank goodness

    1. Part of the problem here is that we had a nasty scare with SARS in which several young, healthy adults did actually succumb to it.

  3. Ah yes the language of the media ... it's all so dramatic. I am generally disappointed in the number of people that do not wash (with soap) their hands after using the toilets. And the number of people that don't stay hope when sick, coughing & sneezing over every one "oh it's just a cold". China themselves have put a travel ban in place on several areas & cancelled one of their major celebrations (Lunar New Year) & I would ask why are they rushing to build a 1000 bed hospital in 7 days if there wasn't some genuine concern? Caution not panic ...

  4. I agree that this is being blown out of all proportion in the media. As far as I am aware it is not "deadly" as the press insist in describing it, unless as mentioned above, you already have some underlying medical condition that would render your immune system unable to deal with it. The rest of us would suffer the usual cold/flu symptoms which can be managed.
