The more that I see of this virus, the more worried I am becoming. I don’t really fear for myself, I know that I’m on borrowed time anyway. I’ve had a great innings, done most things that I wanted to do and most importantly, done things my own way.
I fear for my loved ones, my wife & children. I fear for my relatives back in the UK, especially the younger members of the clan who have not had their full life yet.
I also fear for mankind. This virus will continue to spread like wildfire and while the virus is fairly mild at the moment, it only takes a mutation to change that. I believe that the virus has mutated twice already.
I’m not a crackpot, the aliens are not going to take over the planet, the Earth is round, Dinosaurs did exist and the Bible is a work of fiction. I don’t run around headless, thinking that the sky is going to fall in. AIDS, SARS & the Pig Flu didn’t faze me but this one is different.
Am I scared, I would have to be a complete idiot to write this one off.

Time to read the Decamoron, or maybe just do same, 'flee the city with seven young women' "The book is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men sheltering in a secluded villa just outside Florence to escape the Black Death, which was afflicting the city." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Decameron"The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio by Giovanni Boccaccio" www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/23700PS time to start praying: "Vice President Mike Pence will lead the U.S. response to coronavirus. "I'm going to be announcing exactly right now that I'm going to be putting our Vice President Mike Pence in charge," President Donald Trump said at a news conference Wednesday evening. "And Mike will be working with the professionals, the doctors and everybody else that's working. The team is brilliant." Pence "will report back to me," Trump said." www.yahoo.com/gma/trump-announces-news-conference-coronavirus-cdc-days-mixed-142000943--abc-news-topstories.html

I wouldn't worry about this Steve, the Hill is a well known publication that likes to distort or selectively use fact, frankly I think it should be banned but it comes from the land of free speech so that's not possible.

There are a few more possibilities, like . it's God's Will and Punishment for us having strayed . the Chinese interfere in the American elections and rumour has it (imagine) . it has nothing to do with brexit

It looks like the virus is the work of the lord after all, he wanted to cull the truly evil and corrupt first.

We found a solution to all the bad news! "As fears of a coronavirus pandemic rise, the response from Washington politicians has taken a decidedly partisan tone, and information from experts has become closely guarded. One day after painting a dire picture at a Wednesday news conference at the White House about the possible effects of the infection, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was directed by the Trump administration to not say anything further about the virus without clearing it first, the New York Times reported. Speaking after Trump boasted of the “tremendous success” of his administration’s response to coronavirus threat, Fauci gave a less optimistic view." www.yahoo.com/news/partisanship-infects-us-coronavirus-reactions-210816344.html

A few myths or myth likes debunked. Interesting the idea that it ain't bad "Claim: ‘It only kills the elderly, so younger people can relax’". Makes me wonder about the value some put on older people. "'It's no worse than the flu': busting the coronavirus myths The truth about the protective value of face masks and how easy it is to catch Covid-19" www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/28/coronavirus-truth-myths-flu-covid-19-face-masks

Just read that in the Netherlands some people start to hoard soap bars and disinfectant handgel. I guess soon shops will move to 'one per client' again. Probably means some will have soap for the next two years. Soon people will get soap bars as birthday present and even be happy
