Re: Covid 19
The common flu virus is still far more deadly than Coronavirus but you don’t see people being quarantined, considering cancelling holidays, panic buying basics etc

Re: Covid 19
That's not true though is it. Your mortality risk for flu is about 1 in 2000. For Coronavirus it's about 1 in 30. Even taking into account asymptomatic cases and and mild undiagnosed ones it's clearly killing people at a much higher rate, and is more deadly.
your link said 15 million people got the flu in the states in 2018-19. Covid19 's mortality rate on that many infections would mean upto 450,000 dead.
I wouldn't be concerned about suffering from it personally. I would be very concerned to passing it on to my diabetic 74 year old Mum.

It seems unlikely doesn't it. perhaps they just wanted to give everyone a couple of days to get childcare sorted!

If I was a teacher I'd offer the wealthiest, busiest parents some tutoring on the side. I'll keep your scumbag kids busy learning and you keep earning.

The distance learning/webinar tech guys must think it's Christmas.
If only there was some sort of easily accessible platform that allowed you to host classes of up to 50 with video calls. Maybe an app you could use on your phone?

They've moved Easter holidays to next two weeks, then after that it's two weeks of teaching kids at home somehow. Fudge knows what that means but we're on holiday around then so she won't be doing it anyway. In fact, she doesn't even teach anymore really so it'll be making other teachers teach kids who don't want to be taught, over a medium that you can't control in houses with parents who don't want to be there or in fact anywhere near the spawn they regret creating to avoid a virus none of them probably have. It's perfectly normal.

Re: Covid 19
Well obviously I left your prediction a few days to stew. The Japanese are postponing The Olympics Games, Glastonbury is in danger, THE GALSTO! Is a middle east trade fair worth fanning the flames of a Global epidemic for? You may still believe so but I suspect attitudes will change as the virus spreads around the globe. At the rate Emirates are firing people there will be nobody left to fly people to it even if they were so devil-may-care to attend.
