Basically our PM is leaning towards the "herd immunity" concept but most people think it's terrible idea.

Honestly I think they're gonna lock down public transport in a week or so. My boss is already making provisions for us to all work from home.

Your boss is doing the right thing. Stay safe!

My company is working fully remote since today (I already started doing that last week though). Schools, clubs, bars, cinemas, gyms etc are closed. Also shortly all retail stores except for supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and gas stations are gonna close. Restaurants only from 6 am till 6 pm with max 30 people and a distance of 1.5 metres between seats. Also most of our borders are closed for unnecessary travel.

Basically you can't do shit anymore, gatherings of more than 50 people are also not allowed anymore (was going to see Tori Kelly next week...).

public life is basically shut down here already.

and probably won't even know....and we'll be fine
ch I'm carrying on as normal

I'm like I may have got the shit and I can pinpoint exactly when I may have been exposed and I'm fine 

Head was a little dizzy and breathing became restricted at a point but that's been about it.

!!!!
I get coronavirus, how sick will I get?

A large study in China found that about 80% of confirmed cases had fairly mild symptoms (defined as no significant infection in the lungs). About 15% had severe symptoms that caused significant shortness of breath, low blood oxygen or other lung problems, and fewer than 5% of cases were critical, featuring respiratory failure, septic shock or multiple organ problems. However, it is possible that a larger number of very mild cases are going under the radar, and so this breakdown in severity could change over time as wider screening takes place. Older people and those with respiratory problems, heart disease or diabetes are at greater risk.

What is the mortality rate of the new coronavirus?
It is probably about or a bit less than 1%. Much higher figures have been flying about, but the chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, is one of those who believes it will prove to be 1% or lower. The World Health Organization's director general, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, talked of 3.4%, but his figure was calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the number of officially confirmed cases. We know there are many more mild cases that do not get to hospital and are not being counted, which would bring the mortality rate significantly down.

Deaths are highest in the elderly, with very low rates among younger people, although medical staff who treat patients and get exposed to a lot of virus are thought to be more at risk. But even among the over-80s, 90% will recover.

I ain't getting shit .. fuck y'all

The neuroinvasive potential of SARS‐CoV2 may be at least partially responsible for the respiratory failure of COVID‐19 patients - Increasing evidence shows that coronaviruses are not always confined to the respiratory tract and that they may also invade the central nervous system

Interesting hypothesis. Hope it's not true.

Why is the WHO mortality rate of 3.4% being critizised? The 1% that's mentioned here is merely based on assumptions of how many people are not registered as infected.
