[QUOTE="Ushthetaff, post: 2228247, member: 429002"] I am type 1 diabetic and in the 40 years I’ve had it , I think I’ve been classed as susceptible to every thing from swine flu to bird flu to hippo flu etc etc , I’ve come to the realise that one is as bad as another and I’ve managed to survive , I do think there is a touch of scaremongering going on or as I like to call it a@se covering,I’ve looked at the %ages and personally I think they are not that bad . Plus this is corona 19 what happened to the previous 18 ? I will do as I normally do wash my hands etc etc , and take what comes. Here’s a wee comment that may be hugely controversial, I ( and this is only my opinion ) think the reason there are so many allergies , virus’s etc these day is because we are too clean. I don’t prescribe going around like a skank , but these days there are so many antibacterial sprays etc which kill everything well 99.9% . We need good bacteria so how does it differentiate, we don’t build up any immunity on our own. When I was a kid we played in mud and ate sandwiches hmm did we get a wet wipe out errr no . Was there a 5 second rule if u dropped sweets on the floor err no 5 week rule more like , and who can remember picking up fag ends off the road and rolling them in to a fag..lol I do understand concern and I know people are dying and for those affect in this way I do show concern, but I think some of the advice can be a tad conflicting [/QUOTE]
