If you have 2 copies of delta32 it's almost impossible to get these viruses. 1 copy will make you more resistant than most and less disease activity. A family history of psoriasis is a great marker for this. Some good for a change.

    @@TrishReports Right now this virus has about a 0.2-0.3% mortality risk. 'Deadly' is an overstatement. Charts released by the WHO today (with a wide margin of error shown) show this Coronavirus is less contagious than chicken pox (at worst) & it currently has its lowest mortality rates around the same as seasonal flu and the highest is approx the same as swine flu, lower than SARS. I am an animal lover. I have pets. I honestly can't possibly imagine leaving them behind, unless I could leave them _with_ someone who I know would love them... But I understand that protocols exist exactly for this situation. There is absolutely no way that governments could execute this kind of 'disaster planning' operation accounting for pets as well. If every person had a pet, how would they work that? So then how would they prioritize pets? And right now, nobody knows if the virus can affect cats (for this example). That means they don't know if cats could be carriers, but unaffected - worst case scenario, that would mean they could transmit it while showing no symptoms. If you had other animals, and a virus spreads between them, it increases the risk of it mutating by 'joining' with another virus - the main fear of an unknown infectious microbe in humans causing a pandemic. _If_ you did include animals in evacuations, there would need to be completely separate travel areas for them, they can't wear masks, so I don't know how you'd reduce transmission risk the way we try to do so with masks, hand washing, not touching your face, etc. Then at quarantine locations, they would need to also have vets, veterinary microbiologists, and different areas for every single animal. These facilities exist exactly for this purpose - they're not using somewhere as a makeshift option. (I do believe this is the only one in the UK though.) This is part of what your embassy/ consulate does if you are abroad and any kind of disaster strikes. They have protocols in place to deal with these eventualities too. On top of that, I have no idea if you can bring pets from China to the UK, but I do have a friend who brought her dog home from Ghana. The standard protocol for animals is 6 months of quarantine, unless they have passed certain 'pre-qualification'/ certification(?) examinations that exist in agreements between certain countries. And that's under normal circumstances.
