This is a video to watch. Don't be put off by the title, this is a quality interview and a levelheaded assessment of the situation



Some bullet points

-> Not like the flu. More contagious and higher mortality.
-> Virus is most likely here to stay
-> Vaccine at least 12 - 18 months away
-> It's up to us to slow down the spread of the virus. Read: social distancing and perhaps even draconian measures like those taken in china

I can't buy toilet roll, pasta or paracetamol in the supermarket now because of the Coronavirus. How am I going to wipe my arse? That's a lot of showers.

It's like in The Dark Knight when the joker says "Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan". But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds"

People are losing their minds.


Wash your ass like a muslim, since they arent using toilet paper, then attend a Tories meeting and handshake everyone.

One positive spin on this even though it's a major over reaction irl, is that its a good fire drill when the real virus hits the population


Yes, sounds like you are in a good shape

Kind of interesting that the CV seemed to hit the mostly Democratic states... first. Aka, NY, Cali, Washington, etc.
