RE: Self-Isolation Survival Tips.

I find the comparison chart interesting. The people at Shaun's work have been told they have to self isolate if they sneeze, cough or blow their noses, yet sneezing is not even a symptom according to that chart. At least not for Covid19 (OMG, I just swyped "Covid" on the keypad and it automatically put "Covid19" in!).

Nosing at comparisons with past pandemics, I came across this: https://www.healthline.com/health-news/how-deadly-is-the-coronavirus-compared-to-past-outbreaks Of course we can't accurately predict how things will end up with Covid19, because it's not yet over, but it's interesting to see the comparisons. Not sure on all their facts, either, because the math for the Spanish flu doesn't seem to work out here:

"Global cases: 500 million. Global deaths: over 50 million (675,000 in the United States); the death rate was around 2 percent"

I make that 10%
