So on the plane he comes down with a fever & brings this to the attention of flight staff. Cabin crew ”we think you have corona virus. We can have an ambulance waiting for you on the runway to take you immediately to hospital, but if you choose that option we will have to quarantine the whole plane for two weeks!” My mate “err..... maybe I’m not feeling that bad?” Cabin crew “ok second option we can have a paramedic waiting for you in the airport & they can escort you to a hospital” My mate “ok” Cabin crew “actually no paramedic available in airport. We recomond you get a taxi straight to a hospital” My mate “ok” Plane lands & my mate just gets a cab straight home & sweats it out for a couple of days! With attitudes like that we have no chance of containing the Corona Virus they are more concerned with having the Plane quarantined than the safety of the people inside it or a taxi driver or any of the public your mate may come in contact with. No blaming your mate it's the protocols that are all wrong here. Cheers Arry Edited March 2, 2020 by Arry 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The fatality rate is now much higher than flu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even in just 2 weeks I think precautions are being taken more seriously. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poxon 5,555 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 I think it’ll be bad my self I’m not normally one to push negatively or doom an gloom I’m normally a positive dude but I think it’d be a wise move to stock up on foods that are none perishable ie tined foods freeze bread/milk just incase of government advise to self containment being made compulsory if nothing comes of it no loss on foods ...most people take piss out of prepares but its starting to make sense now 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
