The corona virus (aka COVID-19) has spread world wide, and is effectively
a pandemic even if
the World Health Organization hasn't labelled it yet.
I hope this thread will help to calm fears & help us make the best out of the situation.
Let's use common sense, take reasonable precautions, and help each other through it,
since we're more or less all in the same boat (forgive the analogy
)
There are probably several of us who already have it, gotten over it, or knows someone who
has, and I hope you will share your story with us.
No doubt there are several doctors, nurses, health care professionals among us as well that
can lend their advice & experience.
I only ask we keep it apolitical without recriminations or rancor. I believe we will come out of it
better prepared, and united in purpose.

which is a useful tool to help plan, and keep us informed without the alarmist reporting I've
seen everyday, which has only served to increase the level of fear, instead lowering it.

P.S. I've been subscribed to Dr. John Campbell's youtube video and I watch his daily updates every single day. Such a great and helpful voice of reason! If you haven't seen them, you owe it to yourself to check it out!

Please bare in mind, this is like a bad flu season, not the Plague.
We need to keep it in perspective, and not panic.
