    Myself I'm not so worried about catching it. What I am concerned about is what if it gets out of hand and I get crunched or sliced at work? If hospitals are full then what?

    Then you have a problem.
    Aldough,as long as you can breathe normally,you can get a bed.
    But would you want a bed in a hospital full off corona patients?

    That's why they have taken all those extreme measures to spread the virus in time.

    They are checking the travelban.
    Fines are being given.
    Only allowed to go out your neighborhood for work and shopping.
    I haven't had so little traffic as in the last week.
    I could get used to it.:)
    Working from home is now the holy grail.
    Been like that since last week.
     
    98989 and Cat sdp Thank this.
