The Chinese flu outbreak .......wonder why there's panic ?

Face masks only have the ability to block particles of 0.3 microns, but the coronavirus is smaller at 0.12 microns.
The mask wont stop the virus, but will tend to stop the wearer from directly touching their nose/mouth which is a common way that viruses enter the body.

.... but the virus is transmitted via droplets, which are stopped by the mask.

I didnt know that either.

That's why you are told to cover your mouth and nose while coughing and sneezing, and to wash your hands afterwards.

The human race for all its technology

It's being blamed on the Chinese taste for warm (read undercooked) meat. Don't know if that's true though.

Doubtful on all fronts, you don't get off that easy.

Did Terry Nation have the gift of prediction.

Some distressing scenes

If everbody is wearing a mask, it will block or reduce droplet spray when the wearers cough or sneeze.

It seems likely that the China virus is contagious even from people nor yet showing signs or having symptoms. This makes it harder to control.

flu doesnt kill 1 in 10 people


During the period of infection, there were 8,098 reported cases of SARS and 774 deaths. This means the virus killed about 1 in 10 people who were infected
