    Correction .... children's Panadol (why? ... kids don't suffer from SARS19) and Ventolin. Both can be got without prescription.

    I'd suspect that non-asthmatics are planning on dosing themselves with Salbutamol (the active ingredient in Ventolin) if they think that they're going to get SARS19.

    Cunning these asians, eh?

    My wife is Asian - I'd prefer that you kept comments like that to yourself.

    She, and a number of her colleagues who are Australians of Asian background, have had people hassle them for "being Chinese" - this thing appears to have given people a sense that it's OK to be racist. It's not.

    Unlike I suspect most people on this site I've actually worked in China and whilst I'm not a fan of certain things I'm careful to not personalise it.

    Sars19? Not COVID-19? I'm confused. Past my bedtime. This whole thing is getting curiouser and curiouser . There's not an asylum big enough .

    SARS-CoV-2 (Sars 19) is the name of the actual virus - COVID-19 is the disease you get from it.

    Like RhinoVirus Type 37 is the name of the virus but the Common Cold is what you get from it.

    From WHO:


    Naming the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the virus that causes it
    Official names have been announced for the virus responsible for COVID-19 (previously known as “2019 novel coronavirus”) and the disease it causes. The official names are:

    Disease
    coronavirus disease
    (COVID-19)

    Virus
    severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
    (SARS-CoV-2)


    By rights, "COVID-19" should've been called SARS-2 (as per the official name of the virus), or SARS-19, but WHO deliberately didn't call it that because they didn't want to cause a panic ....

    That worked. Thanks for that.
