They reckon, ultimately, most people will get this as it's so contagious.  I don't know how many people get flu each year but I have never had it.  To my knowledge, nobody in my family ever had it either.  So it might be a question of volumes... and that, having "all" caught it, the death rate is much higher.

We won't really know until it's over.....  lots of clickbait articles, no facts and figures. 

What annoys me is the apparent disregard some people have to changing their behaviour ... and people's refusal to do "what they're told" or "what's good for them".

I know what I will be doing:

Washing my hands even more

Sanitising when I cant wash my hands

Using cleaning wipes before using communal keyboards

Taking a multivitamin with zinc to boost my immunity

Trying not to shake hands (this has been advised in other countries but not so far the UK) but seems common sense.

Cleaning the touch screens at work very regularly

And generally going about my day as usual.

I also read that spitting in public was common until the 1918 Flu Pandemic but was then outlawed in several countries.

All good stuff, especially as feral loons walk among us, like this woman.

I believe nobody in North Korea will die of it.  I've heard he's shooting people with the virus.

You're reading the Daily Mail really hard today? 

I'm not clicking any more of their links.

Reading the Daily Mail, plus complaining it’s all click-bait, with no real information.

Just to show that there’s a silver lining to every cloud, China’s pollution has improved dramatically over the last couple of weeks.

Of all the news websites I always found it the quickest/easiest to load and flick through... although since they made me turn off my ad blocker it's also annoying.

A few less deaths on that front, then!

Talking about viruses reminds me they're parasites, and that reminds me I have just seen a belter of a foreign movie. Have any other NPs seen it?
