China Virus Threat 2020

[MaryN]

I think it is getting very easy to be carried away by all the media hype at the moment. Yes, the virus is spreading quickly, but so far most cases have been in the mild area of infection. There are more cases of death from flu each year, and these figures do not usually make the headlines in such a spectacular manner. As it is said, bad news sells newspapers, and I suspect this is driving all the media attention. Let's not panic... yet. Let's also remember that the folk on this Forum are geared to deal with this sort of thing by virtue of being "preppers", and we should be able to take a breath, look around and then stay calm and carry on. I am not even remotely in lockdown mode yet - no cases so far in Norfolk - but I am watchful.
