    One thing we all need to remember that once a critical mass of people are affected, it will soon affect nearly everyone! No one can escape. You may keep yourself confined in a basement for 2 weeks but as soon as you come out, you are vulnerable.
    Only real defense is your body immunity - until vaccine is discovered (which won't happen soon anyway).
    Fit and healthy people simply need to catch the disease and help improve our herd immunity.  What we need to try and do is let this happen in a controlled manner and when people do inevitably catch it stay away from the vulnerable in their family.
    Remember chicken pox parties as a child?

    Perhaps we should start holding Coronavirus parties for the under 50's.

    IAG is having to take extreme measures. Loss of revenue globally is already forecast in excess of $100bn.

    It’s a very dangerous assumption to think that you can get immunity when there is no evidence at all for this


    there is evidence that this novel virus is like AIDS and that AIDS drugs can help a little bit there is no building immunity to these type of virus 

    SO INSAY AGAIN ITS A VERY DANGEROUS ASSUMPTION AND WHAT IS IT BASED ON?

    that's not what the doctor dude said that spoke alongside Boris the other day......

    he said we need to get herd immunity, so we need a good chunk of the population to be infected.

    Having convinced 17 million people not to trust what “experts” say, by changing the name to “Doctor Dude” we are now expected to trust them?
