I worry as I am asthmatic - although I haven't had an asthma attack for years - my peak flow is way below what is should be. - Keep fit and hope for the best. I was the only one in the gym today !

Sam-AVFC Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I don’t get how sticking a bag on your head that held objects collectively handled by hundreds of people is going to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 WHO revised the death rate to 3.4%. I’d be cautious about global figures in aggregate, but Italy seems to be running at a death rate of 3.15%, per the Johns Hopkins figures. That’s a bit worse than we’d been briefed to expect.

Chindie Posted March 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2020 It's still not beyond doubt that this is far more widespread than it appears, and the death rates are artificially high because we're only picking up the most obvious cases. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 First time I’ve ever had to queue to use the wash hand basin in a motorway services today. If this does nothing else, door handles will be slightly cleaner for a short while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
