AT THIS TIME:
I really don't care where the virus started
I really don't care what caused it
The above is because I am 100% positive that teams of professional people will be working on the above and will in due time provide definitive details to the best of there knowledge as experts in these fields.
I really care about how it is spreading, where is it reducing, hopefully providing an indication to where the rest of the world goes.
I really care about where are they are on a vaccine and interim testing on existing medicines that could/may prove beneficial in the fight against the virus
I really care about people making the right decisions, no stock piling/hoarding, self isolation ASAP where symptoms are noticed
there are other things I am interested in, stock markets, entertainment (football/pubs/restaurants/travel/vacations)
I just got off a conference call with one company I am doing some work for, as you can imagine Covid 19 was the start of the call, world wide company, 18,000 people in multiple regions, they also employ thousands of subcontractors, they had there first confirmed case this week, guy sent home, young and believed to be in no direct threat. Everyone they could identify has also been sent home who were in contact over the last two weeks with him.
Those kinds of numbers give me encouragement in that it is a large diverse set of numbers with low affect to the whole group in numerous locations in terms of percentage of people infected today. I know there is still time but we have gone through quite some time for people to have been infected.
I am amazed at what Lowbank is posting in terms of office and number of people infected, on the surface the office sounds shockingly bad, maybe I am being clouded in that judgement but things like number of people and one fridge should not be acceptable to anyone. Just an observation and only an opinion from very little info so can clearly be a wrong interpretation of things.
