So, you are going to get a cough and a fever. Nothing really to worry about.

Then pass it onto someone who will get serious consequences. Thats the issue

Should not the weak immune and complications people be the ones to isolate? Not the healthy who are out there keeping society going? Missing out on some entertainment and socialising because of the "if I can't be happy, no one can" mob telling us what to do.

If things are so bad for the compromised immune people, they should not see the light of day, in case someone accidentally farts in front of them.

Aside from that being a gobsmackingly selfish attitude, it's also not a fool proof plan. There is no guarantee that just because you;re young and healthy, you may not have complications from this virus.

And if i may be indelicate, Rocky, some of the health concerns of yours you have told us of over the years may just see you in a higher risk category than you think.

I read somewhere that the UK are citing acquired immunity by exposure as a reason why they've not implemented stricter intervention.

?Any inside word on whether there is any suggestion of conferred immunity via prior exposure?

Yeah i know .. if it even works with this virus it's dumb ... but any signs it's a factor with this virus anyway?

Seems like a very dark horse to back.

It will be interesting to see the morbidity rate indifferent countries though. It may just be that it hits us harder than it's hit in Asia.

lol you mean like yourself? stay indoors dude

I never seem to get sick these days. I have a mild head cold. But I doubt that anything will come of it. A week of rainfall and then a sudden change in weather gave me a little reminder to stock up on some vitamin C.

Or were you not talking to me?

Type 2 diabetic. Obese. Not unhealthy. Junk food is rare, now. I never seem to get sick. My last sickness was in 2017 when I felt unwell for about a week. Got the night off work and I have not been sick enough to miss work since.

And if i may be indelicate, Rocky, some of the health concerns of yours you have told us of over the years may just see you in a higher risk category than you think.

I take xiduo tablets to keep my blood sugar in check. Though my metformin tablets did its job the last time I was using that medication, my doctor did not agree. The blood test from last year had told her that my blood sugars were still too high to be effectively controlled. I changed over to xiduo last year and felt even better. I got another blood test. The doctor said I was doing well. Now, I have gotten to a point where my I can't really take the 2 recommended tablets per day, because my blood sugar would get too low. Drinking black tea or green tea has done wonders for my health. However, I do have issues with mental health when my blood sugars get too normalised where I have my schizophrenic nightmares. I actually wake up feeling suicidal. But the thoughts wear off to normal when I become lucid.

And I agree that I am being a really self-centred arsehole with the idea of letting the elderly die off prematurely from a heavy cold. I was someone mildly critical of myself for not doing more to educate myself on bushfire mitigation strategies. I did feel that I was not pulling my weight for the issue surrounding my region. But perhaps I was just being cynical about the climate alarmists degrading the impact of arsonists lighting fires and the natural cycle of bushfires in Australia by claiming it was climate change related. Now we have the virus alarmists going about creating hysteria and mass panic buying.

I am not serious about seeing off elderly people to die earlier than they would from a cold virus. I am just getting irritable about the cancellation of 2020. Metaphorical hindsight really will be about this year. I figure that the people who can't handle the cold without needing treatment above home remedies or aspirins should be the ones to isolate. Not to shut down the rest of society because they are justifiably not able to handle the virus.

Not quite sick enough ey?

So you go to work & spread things around.

You shot yourself in the foot with your post on the previous page .... & have been advised of your own shortcomings when it comes to health & likelihood of being in a higher risk category ....

but nah you can't see it.

Do you have a tattoo of a penis on your forehead?
