Ducati rider solidarity for Italy

Covid-19 is lame compared to what could come down the pipes, can you imagine being held to ransom by a terrorist organisation threatening to release something really ugly?

Seems like an engineered bioterrism weapon

Kev, I dont think so. If it was aimed at a certain country then which one- they all have it! Why target the oldies who cant fight or produce (its being called KO Boomer ) Even engineers have families, and unlike a bomb this is pretty indiscriminate.

Heres some italians;

Poor Italians.
Poor anyone involved

Working to be safe!

I wonder if the term "had underlying conditions" is a phrase used by the media to contain any potential panic amongst a media hungry population, as there is scant information on those who didn't present with such background issues and still passed away. I would like to see more media emphasis on the antibody-test as there must be a growing number of people who are asymptomatic and who could, subject to the verification that this test affords, go back to work or who no longer need to self-isolate or be socially distant from others. Until their working lives/employers return to normal, they are arguably a ready made source of volunteers who could be pressed into service where they are needed most in the coming months.

Little if any mention is made of the so called "Antibody Test". It was described by Sir Patrick Vallance (the UK's chief scientific officer) as a "game changer". If so it will enable anyone who is asymptomatic or who has recovered from Covid-19 symptoms, to be tested for the presence of antibodies, and thereby an immunity (theoretically) from catching the same strain twice.

Given the desperate need to ensure key-workers remain available to society and in the interim, that an individual's normal employment maybe shutdown or in a state of hibernation for some considerable time, this likely increasing percentage of cases, might well prove to be an invaluable resource to society.

If they are no threat to themselves or others in their new found ability to no longer having to socially distance or isolate themselves from society, that is surely a gift we should capitalize on for the greater good.
Recovered cases currently stand at 90,942 people worldwide (as of 20th March 2020). That's an awful lot of foot soldiers who could make a difference (those of an effective age of course - no disrespect intended) and that number will continue to grow.
Not something I would generally ask of others but I would appreciate it if you would PLEASE SHARE THIS POST to hopefully raise people's awareness and bring it to the attention of the media.
