Guest bernardblack Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 They won't necessarily know they are ill for 2 or 3 days but will be infectious. Have you not been paying attention? That's a serious question, not an attempt at an insult. Tbf I may have misread your comparison earlier, thought you were comparing peoplespreading disease on purpose given you used the term deliberately. I doubt anyone is going to boozers with a cough and a temperature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the girlfriend sat down to watch it on Saturday night and were certain the tv was broken for the first half hour. Apart from that I was largely indifferent about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 8 hours ago, Dee Man said: What I don't get is why has this virus suddenly jumped from bats to humans now? I'm sure bats have been getting eaten in those parts for years. That reminds me, I'll need to get some Bacofoil next time I'm at the shops. IIRC There are more bats in the world than humans. Some of them are infected with one virus or another and it doesn't really affect them i.e. they are reservoir hosts. So one infected bat does not necessarily infect the rest. However if some other animal such as a human or monkey or gorilla eats an infected bat or come into contact with the bodily fluids of an infected bat then that sets things off. That is why the likes of Ebola can appear, become an epidemic and then disappear only to reappear years later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
