Same as that. My wife too has asthma and I worry for her.

I think my point is that, whilst we don't know the eventual outcome, it doesn't serve well to dredge up worst case scenarios. It's important to reassure folk that steps are being taken if it gets bad, but the some just thrive on stoking fear.

unlikely to happen now
Perhaps best to reserve judgement for a year and then do your compare-and-contrast.

its much more complex than the common conception, there's for-profit, not-for profits, state funded services, community and government services. private does not mean for profit, which is a minority. the problem is its disjoined, layers of cross-payments and variable between states (and litigation insurance on top of it all). the main reason for lack of testing in US is lack of facilities licensed/setup for the tests, which are complex genome analysis.

Not worried for myself, just family.
You really can see the best and worst in other humans at such times. Selfless, knackered medical professionals doing their level best for others vs sick profiteers wiping all shelves of hand sanitizers (that families, old people, kids will need).
In some instances today I've seen out of stock everywhere £3.50 suoerdrug product is being sold for between £50-£99 on eBay/Amazon.... and 59p Lidl product for £18..... the selfishness to try and financially profit to such exorbitant levels, as others can get nothing, is truly sick.

Indeed I imagine more people have died today from Heart attacks than coronavirus.
If you're thinking of using the vodka as a hand sanitizer then you're going to be disappointed unless it's over 60% alcohol. For all the good it'll do you might as well drink it......

Sadly, It's not unexpected though.
Can`t agree. It`s the mugs paying for the exorbitantly priced products who are to blame. If I could sell a fiver for £50 I would......any takers ?
That's where I am too, as I posted on the main thread on this subject a day or so back.
Personal concern - very little.
Concern for others, and wider society for a period of time - quite a lot.
I went for a run in Worthing today that took me along the seafront through the middle of Worthing. The number of frail old people I saw (no surprise in Worthing etc etc) who must be absolutely shitting it based on the statistics of deaths based on age should this spread as the experts are suggesting is all but inevitable.
Also as posted elsewhere, however, this Vox piece is broadly positive about things, I thought: https://www.vox.com/2020/3/2/21161067/coronavirus-covid19-china
If painting the worst picture is the way to get people to actually change their habits to prevent it happening then that’s fine with me.
Those burying their heads in the sand and pretending everything is fine will be the ones that make the situation worse.
