Do you know his medical history? Loads of, apparently, heathy people drop dead from undiagnosed conditions. Being completely exhausted was probably one of them.

At least we got to see Duffy do a Cruyff turn. I’ve had a good innings

Now where is my tin foil hat?

They tried unsuccessfully to silence him once, they did the job the second time.

Every single person, out of the 83 people on the Wuhan evacuation flight, have tested negative. Their 14 days in the Wirral are up tomorrow so they can get on with their lives.
According the news just now, Britain has 9 confirmed cases, with over 1700 testing negative.

Well I suppose he did know who patient zero was, and if they were anything to do with a bio-weapons facility then perhaps that was a loose end which needed attention.

Eliminated. China wanted him out and got him out.

“Get on with their lives” ? ........ after being stuck in the Wirral for 14 days........ they’ll need help.

BBC reporting that in China a rise in both new cases and deaths this morning death rate now 2.25% this comes after China has started to use a different criteria for classifying individuals with the virus

I am still mindful of the report in the Thipa news agency a few days ago which showed screen shots from what it said was the Chinese state official virus reporting web site where figures for those infected was not the 43,000 as reported at that time but 160,000 infected with some 23,000 deaths and not the 800 or so again as being reported. The story went onto say the figures were only available for a few minutes and were then taken down and replaced with figures that were in line with the previous day's.

One definition of “flu” has always stayed with me and that is; “If you are in bed and there is a £50 note by an open window which could blow away, without hope of retrieval, and you can’t be bothered to get to it, then you have the flu” Anything else is a bad cold. What any strain of flu does, to be deadly, is attack those already in ill respiratory heath, those with compromised immune symptoms and the very elderly. The difference is that we already have vaccines against known strains of flu, but not against this one. It will come but not without significant casualties.

That's what they used to say. More recently however I have heard that the same strain of flu hits people differently. Some won't be able to get out of bed with it, some will just carry on like it's a common cold. It depends on which variations of flu you have had previously. The biggest factor in catching different strains of flu being your age.

Is Brighton the new Salisbury?
I overheard a Woman say they had planned to have a weekend away in Brighton but cancelled because "I don't want to catch anything!"
Little did she know the guy sitting within 2 metres visits Brighton twice a week.
Oh and she's going to a caravan park now instead.

If you're hoping for an end to the human race, it's great news!
Seriously? If you are being serious, chill the **** out. Stop reading up on it, stop looking at the media who are sensationalising it as they have papers (etc) to sell.

Just have good hygiene habits.
She should also be hygienic.
Perhaps don't have her round to see holiday pictures just yet, and perhaps suggest that she doesn't come home and see your mum straight away.

Anxiety hits people in different ways. You shouldn’t tell somebody to chill the **** out - that’s completely out of order.

Yeah I guess. I meant no offence to Satb. I don't have any experience of someone suffering with anxiety.

It’s one of the reasons I’m trying to post good news on this thread.

Spanish flu being a prime example.
It unusually targeted the young, fit and healthy rather than the old and infirm. In the first wave 50% of deaths were in the 20-40 age group and only 1% of deaths were in the over 65 age group..

In the second wave this reduced but the target audience for the flu was still under 65.
The reason it was such a ******* to the fit and healthy was because it attacked the immune system. The stronger your immune system the worse the effects of the flu.

It infected 500 million (27% of population), killing anywhere between 50 to 100 million (3-6%) of the then population of the world .....

My understanding was that the immune system over-reacted to it and as youngsters have the strongest immune systems this was what caused the problem?
