That's what I meant - I was being sarcastic!

Might not be this virus but there will be a virus. There has always been one that wipes out millions.

Other than seeing lots more people (and now not just Chinese ones) wearing face masks on the tube, I’ve not seen anything different and gone about my business as usual

There should be a sarcastic emoji. I'll add it to my list of things Admin won't do.

Wearing facemasks is a waste of time too. They are not designed to keep out finer particles such as viruses and we breath out humidified air which will moisten them and make them ineffective. Your eyes are also mucous membranes and pose just as much risk as inhaling.

Man made, spread to create panic, new miracle cure to get fast tracked through clinical trials - $$$$$

So you're saying they don't reduce the risk?

In 1918 the worlds population was 1.8b yet 50m were wiped out with H1N1. The worlds population is 7.7b, we travel more than ever. If this strain begins to manifest to become repellent to vaccines - then and only then is it a pandemic.

Flu kills thousands a year. It’s not as serious as people are making out.

To be fair, it could be if they lose control of it.
