[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 2230665, member: 468055"] Just to clarify. A coronavirus is just a classification of a family of viruses, like rhinovirus or retrovirus. This particular strain is brand new (“novel”), so nobody has been exposed to it, and as a result nobody has immunity, either naturally or via a vaccine. Yet. As a T1 with an overexcitable immune system (it throws up new food allergies every so often just for sh... and giggles) and asthma - who works with sick people, I’m slightly concerned. Not ******** myself (my recent norovirus took care of that :hilarious:) but mildly concerned. I’m happily vaccinated against anything I might reasonably come into contact with as a student paramedic, and I’m out on the road on placement at the moment, so may well come into contact with it. Who knows. I did have a “flu” with exactly the symptoms described at the end of January, so maybe I’ve already had it? We have students from all over the world at uni, and I was on campus that month.
