It sounds like the usual respiratory virus where it hits the ones with chronic lung issues hard. I’m taking the family to Thailand in April so watching this closely. (But not within sneezing distance)

German Scientists have developed a test already.

I blame arsonists. We were 100 million kilometers from the corona until they set everything on fire.

Not enough culling of the sick and elderly for mine. If you regularly cut back hard these things don’t get out of hand when they hit.

Just heard that a mate of mine was diagnosed with Coronavirus yesterday. He’s pretty upbeat all things considered, says it’s not so bad - his wife has just contracted Lyme disease.

I’ll show myself out.

Chinese companies had a kit available a couple of weeks ago. How do the Germans get the credit?
