Originally posted by BigMackCam Steering clear of political discussion, I know that certain authorities in the UK are beginning to prepare for school and business closures, and possible limitations on group events. It's not happening yet, but I think plans are being discussed...
That's very serious, for one time and media hype is useful and necessary. Uncontrolled propagation can be exponential , and with a death rate of 2%, it very serious. Last time I've been at the physician, there were 40 people queuing, so I left, first I didn't want to wait, and second having 40 people waiting in a room can be a disaster in case someone is contaminated by the virus, that's the fastest way to propagate that thing.
