Is there any advice for people with long term health conditions like say asthma, who are under 60. Or anything else for that matter, cause they'd be in as much risk as the elderly I would have thought. As one of the big problems seems to be an auto immune over reaction, as read in some of the medical papers post here, anyone who has an auto immune problem surely needs advice too.
I have asthma, Immune and neurological problems. I have not seen anything specific in regards to advice, I'm mainly housebound though.

And a full protective suit so you don't catch it your self, which is something people would have noticed.

Discounting all previous references to Dean Koontz and other silly false attributions of prediction, does anyone really think that this pathogen could be a man-made one? I have no idea how you go about separating fact from falsehood or proving yes or no but just pondering on a wet and windy Saturday lunchtime (here)...
All you would need is a virus an aerosol can and a crowded marketplace..

What is the latest info on the the benefits of face masks?
It would seem they have doubtful benefits. The chap on BBC news this morning said if nothing else it reminds you not to touch your face with potentially infectious hands.
What is a mask’s life expectancy (obviously depending on type). Can they be sterilised for extended use bearing in mind they are going to be in very short supply now? Fortunately I have already got some for use in my building works.
Any one got a nice sewing pattern to knock some up?
You would need a particulate filter mask as surgical mask fibres are to open and will allow microbes through more easily.

I'm not sure there is much of a scientific consensus as to "why" viruses are seasonal, just that many clearly are, and some are probably not.
There are so many different variables at play, and that these may then differ from virus to virus, that it becomes impossible to say for any new virus that it will struggle come summer. It will be a case of crossing our fingers and then we will see what we see.
