At what point do you batten down the hatches?

If we entered a time of Civil Unrest/Armageddon/Zombie Attacking, what would we do?

Seasonal flu kills 291000 to 646000 people worldwide each year.......coronavirus is an amateur so far compared to those numbers teanews

Nah - just carry a bag with a Wuhan Airport sticker on it, spray your forehead with water before going in, and walk about coughing. You'll have the place to yourself in no time.

Another media driven s*** storm, had to laugh at the imbecile woman on tv this morning, she is in the hotel in spain isolating her whole family for 2 weeks, don't know how she thinks the food etc that they are bringing her is clean. she then went on to say she had phoned her airline and told them that she only wanted people on the plane who had self isolated like she had. basically saying i want the plane just for my family.

"There is nothing more contagious than fear"......

I don't want to sound flippant but statically you're more likely to be killed in a car crash on your commute to work than you are to die from the coronavirus and probably have better odds on winning the lottery.

The was SARS in 2003 and Ebola in 2014 and we're still here so unless things take a seriously dramatic turn for the worst I won't be panicking just yet.

It will be the hype/hysteria that causes the most damage.

I wouldnt worry about the virus at the moment.

I wish. Natural selection might just thin out the more pathetic in society.

I'm just hoping that James Lovelock isn't right, and what we're seeing isn't the creation of antibodies by Gaia to rid itself of an infection..
