Oh, come off it with this Fear Mongering crap. You listen to dipsh'ts in the media who have their heads jammed up their as'es. You'll whined up as stupid as them.
Standard prevention techniques for not catching illnesses will work to stop you from getting the Chinese lab bug. Those at risk of dying have heart, lung and other such medical problems. Malnutrition is another factor for most all viruses/diseases.
Here's something. Why don't you live in a sterile chamber, ware hazmat suits w/ gas mask for when you go outside and a decontamination room to remove all foreign matter when you return home.
while it is true there is a lot of propaganda and fear mongering .. what is becoming clear is there is still so much that is unknown about this virus ..
what the experts think they know ...
It is not a flu !!!
although there are common symptoms between. Coronavirus and influenza (in the early stages)... Coronavirus is believed to have multiple modes of transmission .. droplet.. contact and faecal . A major concern now is that it may also be airborne and able to survive in the atmosphere .
Experts also cannot rule out the possibility that like chickenpox .. the virus may be able to lay dormant in someone who has recovered and potentially reinfect/mutate at a later stage . It is much too soon to have any understanding of host immunity from exposure and what this represents .,
Keep in mind also It may be sometime before an accurate mortality (death rate) can be determined . Most of the figures are based on Chinaโs outcomes and are not indicative of pandemic death rates . If you look at the world map of infections .. it is clear ., this is just the beginning .. many countries are in the early stage of trying to contain sporadic spread . For some this will not be achievable .. especially third world countries and those with poor access to health resources and funding .,
It is believed the virus is capable of producing a Rapid pneumonia/severe sepsis which can overwhelm the bodyโs immune system (known as a cytokine storm ) . Potentially this can lead to multi organ failure and death . On the positive side .. There are increasing reports that for many their exposure to the virus is mild . While vulnerable populations have been identified ..evidence has also demonstrated that there are exceptions and health/age does not guarantee a desirable outcome.
Knowledge is power ..(rely on legitimate medical advice rather than propaganda ) . Be aware .,, stay informed .. minimise risk . Plan and Be prepared .... look after your health and look after each other .., that is what you would do for most threat situations .
