Coronavirus meme/panic/fear mongering general thread

[Steel Icarus]

I was just at a meeting with perhaps 50 people. A few people were coughing, only occasionally but it got me thinking. It could be very easy to get infected by this thing, especially as people can be infectious before they have any symptoms.

Quick, you should phone the authorities and let them know coronavirus is quite infectious

Was queuing at the checkouts with my panic stock up. The assistant coughed into their hand and then started scanning my shopping through, touching every single item...

 

[Indeliblelink]

oh yeah

My other half has been getting extra so not having a pop, it's understandable, but it must make things difficult for a lot of people. People on tight budgets who live week to week budget wise so can't stock up, older people who can't get out to do their shopping very often, get to supermarkets and there is no shit paper, no soap, no fucking tins of soup or whatever

Yeah, I'm getting a bit extra each time I go to the shop, tins and that, but no large amounts. We're not at that stage.

I've got a nasty cold/cough at the moment, last time I was in city I made a point of going outside shops into the street when I needed to cough, but often not much you can do when a coughing fit overtakes.

I had some water go down the wrong way and had a massive coughing fit last night - god knows what the people in the neighbouring hotel rooms were thinking...

Good advice here..

Just did three sneezes on the bus. Two school kids moved seats away from me.
Perfect result tbh

It's all kicking off in Australia...

They're panic buying bog roll in New Zealand as well but queuing politely rather than trying to kill each other.

Good advice here..

Sunlight is apparently good at killing viruses, so we can probably expect to see an ad from Corona rivals Sol featuring a bottle of Sol crushing a lot of sickly, coughing Coronas.

She was probably dying for a shit - desparate measures and all that.

We were using up our No Deal Brexit hoard but have now started expanding it again

Have been in the position of really really needing to take a shit and being unable to do so I am going to reserve judgement on this one.

I've just read an American on another board pronouncing that they are going to be taking biodegradable plates and plastic cutlery with them for visits to (largely high-end) restaurants on their upcoming visit to London...!
