And wear it non-stop for the next year to 18 months? I'm guessing you've never worn a bio-suit for an extended period of time.

I hope you have stocked up on tin foil.

If it were that easy we would already have a vaccine.

All that vaping huge clouds of steam into your lungs can't help either.

I don't think it is about producing antibodies. I think it is just that you need to ingest a certain amount to become ill and the more you pick up the iller you become.

Sterling is taking a hammering anyway. Down by 3 or 4% against just about everything except Russian Ruble and Norwegian Krone. Fears are being driven by rumours about a total shutdown of London and the end to trade negotiations with the EU making a no-deal Brexit at the end of the year more likely.

Time for a motoring holiday in Europe, oh wait...

The NHS is preparing rooms with pumped oxygen to help cope with the shortage of ventilators.

Moving a couple of tons of straw in 20lb pitchfork loads is a good workout but I'm guessing I've got a long way to go to match an adonis like yourself. I was hoping an English accent and a dry sense of humour would work instead. Or rather the friend on whose behalf I was asking was hoping. He's a damn good cook too.

How does she feel about handsome English jugglers? Asking for a friend.

You can't take it with you. I'm planning to die in massive debt.

Oh God, don't encourage him to talk.

Enough of the flu comparisons already. Unless you can give me an example of a country which has 500 people a day dying from the flu.

I'll take the advice they gave to our nuclear submarine commanders. If you turn on Radio 4 longwave at 1900 hrs GMT and the Archers isn't being broadcast you know that it's all over and everyone you once knew is dead. Act as you feel fit.

Testing is being ramped up with the implication that restrictions won't be lifted until we have proof that the worst is over and herd immunity is in effect.

Boris just announced a schools closure. All exams canceled. Manufacturers have been asked to switch production to ventilators. We'll be asked to ''make do and mend'' next.

The two biggest UK supermarkets are now resticting customers to just 3 of any particular food item. Rationing has returned already. Ironically, it's the people who remember how to cope with rationing and have the recipes for carrot jam who will be the first to go...

Yes, that's what has made me more concerned recently. I was trying to point that out to a moderator on PF.com who kept comparing it to normal flu death numbers and was playing it down as media hysteria and panic mongering. I eventually had a post deleted for saying that he was just some geezer on the internet babbling on about the flu. LOL.

Only effective as a disinfectant at 65% though. Vodka cannot be substituted for hand cleaners. It can cheer you up though if you drink it...

Not very.

If you had a bowl of M+Ms in front of you and you know that 2 in every 100 are poisoned would you still eat one?

I agree, it is possible but just not as likely as dodgy practises with live bats in a crowded food market. America taking it to Wuhan is just more nonsense from the Russian troll factories but no more so than China deliberately releasing the virus from a bio-weapons lab' as some numpties are trying to suggest.
