No worse than a flu to most people.
Clearly any underlying health issues JUST like the flu would be an issue.

I've not had the corona jab though Well, as I understand it the flu jab just stops you getting certain strains of it, it doesn't make the flu any easier if you get a new strain. So, with no jab for Coronavirus there is just more chance of getting it.

Prince William has made an off-colour joke about him and Kate 'spreading' coronavirus on their tour of Ireland this week - and suggested that some people are panicking about 'dying' but have 'just got a cough'.
Good to know the British bulldog attitude lives on. Of course that does come from a healthy person with access to the best health care.

I hate to criticise the Royals but I think he has to some extent missed the potential gravity of the outbreak. Yes it is easier to catch seasonal flu but the death rate is only 0.1 %. Set this against a death rate of between 1% and 3% for the Coronovirus. It's right to be cautious even though the virus is relatively difficult to catch compared with flu. That is of little consulation to any one who catches it with between 10 to 30 times chance of dying from it , compared to flu.

Will we ever get to the stage where many of our prisoners are let out on furlough after a bail payment? (So that the open prisons might be used as isolation centres perhaps?)

Boris says "Statutory sick pay from day 1" What about those on zero hours contracts? What about the self employed? Though they might get something out of the budget.

It's a tenuous link, if we all self isolate because we know someone who may have come in contact with the virus then not much is going to get done. On the other hand, don't want to take chances. In this case, he's outside cleaning windows, maybe he should just keep a reasonable distance from anyone elderly or infirm on his round?

One of the problems with corvid-19 is that no antivirals yet work on it (and, as a virus antibiotics are of no use), so it is purely down to health and fitness of those that contract it. I haven't read any of the previous pages on here so this isn't in relation to anyone on here, but it is a bit angering how there seems to be an undercurrent among a large minority online who seem to think only at risk groups (elderly, immuno-compromised etc) being most vulnerable to serious issues and fatal outcomes makes the concern about it's spread becoming exponential a bit of an overreaction. Which is a lovely attitude to have in life.

Sadly very true. We live in a society which worships youth and sticks old people away in homes, often out of town and out of sight. Also not helped by fully developed capitalism in which if you are not economically active you are worthless.

even more bizarre www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-51527043"Toilet rolls are currently in short supply in Hong Kong due to shortages caused by panic-buying during the coronavirus outbreak. Knife wielding men robbed a delivery man outside a supermarket in the Mong Kok district, police said. Police have arrested two men and recovered some of the stolen loo rolls, local media reports said."
