Coronavirus considered a “time bomb” 💣 since 2007!

---

It’s hard to concentrate on anything in the midst of a pandemic...

News that nearly 800 have died in Italy, due to Coronavirus, in just the last 24 hours is, frankly, shocking.

As is the fact that the virus can survive on surfaces, for weeks, and that countless people can be asymptotic...

How does one fight against an invisible enemy, that is airborne? How many times can we wash our hands and disinfect surfaces; when is it safe to leave our homes?

Also, with all the politicization of Covid-19—-who knew, first, who acted best and who is to blame—-I’m stunned to learn that as long as 13 years ago, medical reviews were warning about the serious threat of this virus!

The new Coronavirus we are dealing with in COVID-19 is just one of many Coronaviruses. This article, above, is talking about the SARS epidemic of a couple years ago.

But, the point still stands: a Pandemic Response Team should be keeping track and assuring preparedness.

Well, so as not to spread alarm without also sharing information, below, are Signs of Covid-19 from the Ministry of Singapore:
