Took my dog for a walk through the city centre tonight for a long walk and it was creepy, not many people about at all, I was walking through an outdoor mall and it reminded me of dawn of the dead. Still found lots of homeless people begging and sleeping rough.

Love the way people say. it’s nothing to worry about tbh. Just practice good hygiene and you’ll be fine lol. the lol. 71 deaths in the uk. well they won't cos there in the morgue. 30,000 roughly die annually from Pneumonia in the U.K. alone. 98.2% recover from this virus. The elderly and those with underlying issues are vulnerable to all viruses The fear factor going on is bizarre. Think about the number of people who smoke. The side effects from cigarettes kill 50% of all smokers. HALF. Now imagine how many smokers are out there panicking about this virus. We're not exactly sure how bad the coronavirus can get. We do know the MASSIVE consequences smoking has on people, their family/friends/career, and the drain it puts on the medical system. Imagine if people cared as much about that as they do about toilet paper.

When this is all said and done, the human race will still never learn there lesson, sadly this is how it always works out in the end. Humans cause destruction in life, thus creating panic and chaos. Animals only eat what they need, they never take more than that! They are 100% pure, in life, this world and other ones, what do we humans do to even match that? Nothing, not one thing that comes close to what they are. They are the saints and we, the human race are the sinners.

I can't believe that people still aren't getting the message about how contagious this is. I've seen footage where people are still flocking to the beaches in Florida despite the state having over 300 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 8 fatalities. This coincides with an increase in the reports that some people could be carriers while being asymptomatic. For goodness sake, and for the sake of your grandparents, your elderly neighbor, your diabetic pastor, your asthmatic pharmacist, and your cancer-surviving mail carrier, STAY INSIDE. How hard is this?

How hard is this? Yea people think it's the flu but it's not. It's like the flu, similar symptoms, similar precautions, but it spreads more rapidly and there's no clarity on how exactly it spreads. It has changed from flu like symptoms to a symptomatic in the past couple of days. If half the world has shut down and the government is talking about paying people not to work, you better believe it's pretty serious.

The question I would like scientists to answer, and explain to us lamens, is why not everyone that comes into contact with a "infected" person gets the disease. If only saliva/cough/mucus droplets are the culpret, can this all be prevented with caughing into a sleeve and hand sani after? That would leave mostly nothing viable in the air, technically. And aren't most of these cases travel related so far, or close contact with a known carrier? People get it overseas because so many have it and the germs are in the air;here only few have it and the spread is less in the community it seems.

Even with what K5 mentioned, have you never owned a dog that ate a chocolate cake off the counter and then managed to eat another chocolate cake off the counter one god damned day after??

It was told to me at a young age I'd run by and swipe butter off the counter and eat it...gross to me now, but I guess I said waste not want not

It’s similar to the flu but some people don’t show any symptoms at all, and it kills far fewer people.

Yesterday I zig zagged my way (to stay away from people) to 3 different shops, just to buy bread, milk, eggs and tea. Payed by card. no contact. I still had people queuing less than a foot from me, people coughing unprotected all around me... it was so bad... Hairdressers open, Wetherspoons as I passed looked absolutely no different than normal. Saw people shaking hands, people chatting as usual. I believe public needs to be told what to do, ordered what to do, not guidelines, as a lot will ignore as a sign of bravado or through ignorance. The washing hands thing is a joke when I walked passed at least 8 people today who look ill. Other preventative measures here

If this kind of good news would make the national and local tv news, and not just be buried, it could provide a ray of hope for us stressed out folks. It may take a bit, but things will go back to good one day. Good on ya sir! VPV

Personally, I cannot imagine coming into this thread and taking part in a "yeah, but..." argument.
Anyone here lose their jobs? Anybody stepping in to help their communities?
Thankfully I started working for my dad's HVAC company about a month ago, which is considered an essential business. We might slow down, but I have a lot of security right now.
The worst thing personally that has come out of this for me was cancelling my vacation to Vegas this weekend. I got full refunds and credits for everything considering the circumstance, which I appreciate a lot from the hotels and airlines. I'll just plan on going when this calms down a little.
I am organizing for the Food Bank of Iowa right now. The president says they have lost around 80% of their volunteers because they were corporate sponsored, but now those businesses don't want employees exposed to the public. They also have a huge influx of people coming in to feed their kids since school is out. I might not be the most comfortable going out and giving a hand when it concerns my own health, but I am sitting pretty good right now. My heart goes out to everyone being affected by this in anyway-- their personal health, their loved ones' health, or their financial security.
I know we have had events in this world that kind of changed people's life here or there, but I don't think there has ever been something that is affecting every single person in the world in some way.
I love you all!

I can’t totally disagree with you by any means. animals certainly follow harmonious balance within nature far better than we do, which is a form of purity.
