First case in Spain without travel history to Italy so basically the same situation that Italy had on Friday. This is going to explode. 

It’s a woman who actually has just returned from northern Italy

There's been 80k cases worldwide out of 7 billion people in the world lol, why would you be accepting you're gonna get it. Such hyperbole.

Totally depends on how cases are dealt with. Cases are decreasing in China currently and even though they are increasing in other nations, does not mean that they will continue to increase. If China is decreasing and was not expecting an outbreak, other nations should be able to control their situations, as they were more likely to be expected. However, I'm am not an expert in any way.

Its not so much about getting it as the impact on systems, services and the economy as a result of all the precautionary measures introduced. If it begins to impact festivals, some could find themselves in deep trouble financially.

All the professional pandemic forecasters must be wrong!

First one of us to get it should invite the rest of us over for an infection party! Might as well get it over and done with so it doesn’t affect Glasto.

Swine flu was a pandemic; didn't mean we all got it did it.

I think we are not speaking about the same person. The case of Seville hasn't been in Italy and government has confirmed it.

Exactly, not really worth worrying about currently, there's literally nothing we can do. As it stands, Glastonbury is still fully planned to go ahead this year. There's similar talk on Coachella boards about this kind of thing and it's very similar.

Think some people have been reading too much Dailymail.

Media done a better job at making everyone think pandemic means end of the world this time, more so than swine flu.

I don’t read any media. Only this forum and reddit

This forum is usually quite rational. If it was a fallow year I'm sure the interest wouldn't be this high

I'm not resigned to the notion of coming down with it all but we have just been and bought a load of paracetamol, hand gel and rehydration salts before the panic buying starts.  Better to at least be somewhat prepared....and if we have to self-isolate there's a litre of Worthy Farm sloe gin to be drunk....
