India hasn't avoided it, it's not looking for it.
They confirmed 24 cases today. They had just the five yesterday.
Guy from my program at school in quarantine. I've made sure to touch my face as much as possible, just for the story
What’s Germany looking like? Any chance it gets to an Italian level?
I refuse to believe that Italy has it really bad and no other European country does.
The weak and infirm are more susceptible.
Inclined to agree, but there's some Chinese silk factory relationship they have apparently that let it in in droves.
Richard Branson owns them. Fuck bailing them out of anything.
4 more fuckers here this evening. All back from Italy.
Fucking notions.
I mentioned this in jobs but we're isolating all walk-ins to one entrance at our hospital and now, as I work in public benefits, any time a patient neesd to return with documents we have to physically go outside to get them lmfao
All Italian sport behind closed doors for the next month. Is there much of the income for clubs in arses on seats?
Fucking hell, we were about to shit 100 million up the wall because we wanted to save 2,000 jobs (definitely not to protect the 20% holdings of a Conservative donor)
Would have been happier just giving everyone laid off 50 grand each.
Aberdeen airport just got a lot less busier.
EDIT: California declares state of emergency. Bloody cruise ships.

You should use the correct spelling which is STATE OF EMERGENCY.

By refusing antibiotics and relying on Vicks vaporub though, it's not exactly Outbreak is it?
Poor cat though.
Why would you take antibiotics for a viral infection?
Yeah, viral pneumonia?
Huh, I assumed pneumonia was always bacterial. I'm out. RL can take over here.
Take what you can get.
How do you know it was Viral? Pneumonia is almost always a compound illness let in by another illness running you down. We had Flu in my house over Christmas and my wife had Pmeumonia afterwards. She lived with it for 3 weeks. Struggling to walk without getting breathless and hacking her guts up. She had blood tests which showed an infection, an x-ray which showed cloudy lungs, and got given 2 lots of Antibiotics. It took a third lot to fully clear it.
Having a Virus does not mean subsequent Pneumonia is a Viral infection. Viral Pneumonia is normally so mild you don't even know you have it.

Fortunately the giant germs just bounce straight off your head.
Idiotmouse putting Randrew out of a job.![]()
Yeah, my understanding is the virus weakens the lungs to allow pneumonia in.
Pneumonia can be bacterial or viral. Viral more common in children, bacterial more common in adults. Severe viral infections can predispose you to super-added bacterial infection.
Pneumonia is very common in people who are otherwise frail (I'd probably guess it's the number one cause of death), but healthy people get it as its own entity as well.
Virtually no dried pasta in the supermarket today.
On a tiny island, with no cases of this shit.

Aye, I don't get the supermarket panic. You're isolating for two weeks, not months. The supply chain's not knackered because Boris was all, "Fuck it. It's everywhere. Just be careful."
It just demonstrates how fragile society is. If something actually bad were to happen, that had an impact on everyone, we’d all be raping and pillaging within weeks.
Seeing people in face masks isn’t entirely unheard of around these parts, and I got rather used to it from spending a few weeks in Japan last year, but some of the efforts recently have been mental. A couple in full on matching goggles, mask and surgical gloves at Highbury and Islington earlier did cause me to break out into the kind of noticeable smile that marks you out as a probable nonce when alone on public transport.
Risking it all this weekend with a trip to IKEA.
It’s one of those things that I think those in charge genuinely underestimate how close society is to falling apart but they just keep pushing it.
Also why is toilet roll seen as a necessity? If you had to you could wash yourself out in the shower. Good luck eating your toothpaste.
Unless running water is compromised.
Just use your hand and the clean it using bottled water and/or your own saliva.
I can't be the only person here who gives no fucks about hand sanitiser.
