"Merkel Expects 60-70% Of Germans To Be Infected With Coronavirus" ... realistic.  German parliament listened silent and slack-jawed.  So basically like Swine Flu of 10 years ago, only more deadly, particularly for seniors.  Will Germany shut down the whole country, like Italy?

Meanwhile GB Health Secretary has coronavirus.

Everyplace I've seen these kind of numbers they were qualified with eventually. As in most people will eventually get infected but for many that will be years from now. Over the course of a lifetime most people will catch the flu, but not everyone at once.

Seems like, from the evidence, that the Swine Flu strain (not all flu) ran out of steam after 2 years.  Everybody was either a carrier or had had a reaction to it.

On Social media I keep seeing these people that believe that Recovered is cured,  and you shouldn't worry or panic about coronovirus because it will go away and it's not a problem. Says the supporters of Trumps firing of staff with and budget cuts  on "socialist" programs such as the CDC or WHO. Their the reason America can take it easy, but now we can't. I feel paranoid as soon as the cure arrives, the majority of the population will be diseased and the cure will be marketed for rich people.

I listened to a podcast today with a physician who was advocating social distancing. I'm considering not going to the gym when we get anyone diagnosed in my city. However, I've read this type of surface contamination has not been of much worry to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during the COVID-19 outbreak. “Transmission of coronavirus occurs much more commonly through respiratory droplets than through contact with contaminated surfaces,” the agency wrote in its guidance about voting centers. And while mass gatherings are a point of concern, there is evidence that people may overestimate the likelihood of disease spread in shared spaces. I do wear gloves when I lift, so I'm not sure what to think.

Just avoid the gym, or any places with people gathered close together. The number of cases is started to grow in my town, and if it gets to a point it spreads intend to give up doing to bars and restaurants on only ordering shopping in.

Unless you really have to because of work, then just avoiding public gatherings for a few weeks isn't really that much of a sacrifice. Just imagine your living in a hut in northern scotland.

Countries putting complete borders lockdown are receiving the least number of cases.

Funny enough, I still know people at work who think the only reason anyone is concerned about this is because they are racists against Chinese people...

*sigh*
A few days ago, I talked to someone who was aghast that I went out for Chinese food.  I just now realize I could've countered by asking if they boycott Olive Garden. L'esprit d'escalier.

"The CDC's Budget Is Larger Now than Under Obama" ... maybe Biden and Pelosi can cure your smoked ham.

12,500 Americans died from Swine Flu ... and Obama/Congress did nothing.  Oh ... that was a Dem House too.
