My wife is a respiratory therapist and has shared some good explanations with me about what makes this so dangerous. To the best of my understanding, this is a “novel” coronavirus, meaning it originated in animals and mutated to transmit to humans. Flu is a human borne and spread virus. This means we already have the RNA strands in our bodies to recognize and attack flu, but COVID-19 has RNA strands our human bodies do not have, therefore our immune systems have no natural defenses against it. It is very long lived on surfaces outside of the body and is extremely contagious. It also acts very quickly to fill the alveoli in our lungs (sacs that allow for gaseous exchange) with fluid, causing severe pneumonia. Sounds like you basically drown in fluid your own body produces due to the virus. A good quote I heard was that when all is said and done, if all of this seems like a severe overreaction and much ado about nothing, then we did everything right. Hopefully enough of us take this seriously to avoid major catastrophe. People dying alone in hospitals all over the world from this is already catastrophic, but if we are smart we will limit the damage done.

Warm milk actually, kind of like porridge.
Thanks as well, he should be ok as he lives on a houseboat in a marina that is far enough away from the next biggest town which isn't a bad place to ride this out.

USA just took the lead in confirmed cases. Guessing that Easter reopen date isn't looking good. Maybe he meant next Easter.

Well, in my town we only had 400 cases at the peak so we still had limited movement privileges. Shopping malls and living complexes only had 1 entrance open, temperatures get checked and you gotta sign in every time, everywhere you go, which was annoying.
however, I had some lung issues as a kid which left me with this cough that’s incredibly loud, so I limited my going out to the absolute minimum because I don’t want people in hazmat suits jumping on me for no reason.
