Corona virus

[ninjarabbi]

Ok chaps. Should we scared of a virus named after a crap 1970’s fizzy drink? I’ve seen some interesting videos on YouTube. Looks like the Chinese are taking things a little more seriously!

Anyone have a secondhand hazmat suit for sale?

What are the symptoms of this virus? Do you start to grow lime slices in the affected areas?

Perhaps this might tie into the prophecy of the impending end of the world (LINK)...

The Bible does after all state "‘And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake and the Sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the Moon became as blood and the stars of heaven fell unto Earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.’"

I think the sentiment expressed here sums up our current predicament

I’m hoping that they rename this Coronavirus as the ‘T’ virus like in Resident Evil. Yes please........

Apparently it has similar symptoms to man flu although it's obviously no where near as bad as full blown man flu. Strong drink, sky sports and chicken broth should see us through this latest crisis. If that fails I'm sure, guided by Saint Greta, the environmentalist tree huggers will have mixed a marvelous woodland potion to cure us all.

To be honest, this whole thing isn’t too bad.....

A news article today states the ‘the hunt is on for people who flew out of Wuhan’. I have my shotgun at the ready. Anyone I see wearing a ‘I went to Wuhan and all I got was this lousy Coronavirus’ T-shirt is fair game.

To everyone who really doesn’t fancy going into work tomorrow may I respectfully offer you what I will call the ‘Wuhan Defence’.

Contact your workplace after a nice long lie-in, apologise and state, “Terribly sorry, I was in Wuhan over the weekend and now I feel a little ‘sniffly’. What time do you want me in?”.

job done!

Interesting story coming out of Japan. A bus driver has been diagnosed with Coronavirus despite having never been to China. Turns out that twice in January he had tourists from Wuhan on his bus.
Pulls respirator back on.....

Jus when you had enough you order some more Wuhan soup.

Hurrah! We have Coronavirus here in the U.K. Thank God! I thought we’d never get out of the starting blocks on this one. Prepare for the usual MSM catastrophic language. We’re all going to die!

Yep, it's being contained in a regime that can contain, so we've jumped in to spread it across the first world.
Well done pollies.

It might not be spreading as fast as the media would have you believe and people are recovering.

Passengers who flew into the UK on last night's China evacuation flight have been met by medics and bus drivers not wearing face masks despite concerns the evacuees might be infected with the contagious coronavirus.

Photos from the runway at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire show paramedics, coach drivers and other staff greeting and even shaking hands with the passengers, who are on their way to be quarantined for two weeks.

83 Brits from Wuhan evacuation flight arrive at NHS facility

The 83 British evacuees from Wuhan suspected of carrying the deadly coronavirus have swept into a NHS compound after being cooped up for hours on a bus with no face masks.

Someone call me thick please here, if the problem there and can be contained but needs extra resources like when Ebola kicked off. Then why oh why bring back numbers of infected people who could quite recover quicker there. Aircraft are renowned for recycling air making you feel more ill to the saying "If a Dirty Bstrd Farts on a aircraft would anyone miss it.

Apparently it’s not down to poor hygiene and illegal animal sales, alongside normal products, it’s all linked to climate change.
