Does that count?Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

Hate the whole doom mongering thing about this, but underlying health issues would be (According to nhs website):Originally posted by Moscow Mule View PostOnly if you've got serious underlying health problems...
* people with:
- chronic lung disease,
- chronic heart disease,
- chronic kidney disease,
- chronic liver disease,
- chronic neurological disease,
- immunosuppression (whether caused by
disease or treatment) and
- diabetes mellitus,
* patients who have had drug treatment for
asthma within the past three years,
* pregnant women,
* people aged 65 years and older, and
* young children under five years old.
That's 3/4 of my family (inc me).

I reckon I'll catch it, I've two young kids in nursery, which are basically disease factories (Can't count how many times I've been sick in the last 2 years). Seems like the key is get to the Dr early and get the antivirals in ya (I got asthma so in one of those risk groups).
Imagine we did this every year for normal flu's ...

It'll be just my luck that if I get a job after three months on the bench I'll catch it. Might lose some weight off my face though so there'll be silver linings to it if it happens...
Why do they only say xx,xxx cases? Never tell you about those that got it and recovered, or how long they were laid up for.Comment
