Reading through this thread I noticed that many people start saying that they have read something scientific. Maybe that is part of the problem. No scientist ever "proved" anything but showed "indications" that can be disproved by other scientists.
My grandmother told me, many decades ago, that Spanish flu was caused by a soldier coming home from war and giving the flu to his family, and killing them, as punishment for allowing him to go to war in the first place. My (step) grandmothers brother and fiance were both killed whilst at war as they, apparently, deserved to be. She would then say "daft s*ds" of the people who said this sort of thing.
When this pandemic is studied in decades to come I wonder what social scientists will think of us.
Personally I am in isolation and I am not coming out of it until I am good and ready. I would like to claim that I do not want any NHS staff to go on viral overload and die because of me but actually I think this virus sounds like a horrible way to go. I would rather slip away quietly in my own bed.
