Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostEven Switzerland. Public gatherings of more than 1000 people are banned. Fasnacht has been cancelled, as had the Geneva car show.
Why does starting to ban things like this actually have any effect? It may reduce the chances but because there are so many other chances of it seems to be pissing in the wind somewhat.
Unless someone knows something and there are carriers deliberately going to these gatherings to spread the virus...

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThe rationale must be that getting large numbers of people from all round the world into one place, letting them mingle and then sending them home again will accelerate the spread. And slowing down the spread is important in terms of preparation and developing a vaccine and treatment. Seems reasonable, although I don't know what the evidence is.
How, magic ******* carpet rides?
It's gonna be everywhere worth going soon. Test and they will find.
Come and get me you ******* virus, you can prise my pot noodle from my cold dead hand.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

I was referring to the response by various 'authorities' to an out break of a virus that by all accounts is about 1/10th the potency of seasonal flu. But you carry on 'biging it up'.Comment
