Resources? I'm talking about money here Watti. Everyone is skint. We're all in debt and even though leaders are saying it's getting better. I still see no change to confirm this.

News here said they preview to get vaccines against it done in 6 months. Damn, I really hope this thing doesn't go out of control, although I don't mind using the surgery masks on streets. 

[Roger_Murtaugh]

Some people here, really respond to sarcastic on it, you should be worried, due Mexico didn't respond good on the sickness it is spreading out all over the world, they should have sealed the bounderies of there country and put it in carantene...
good thing is that people who are infected with the desease in other, foreign countries, the sickness is less wors then in mexcico itself, they are less sick.

about the vaccin, the production of it takes 6 months and it will take 4 years to put it on the market...

lets hope they gonna get on with it and make that as fast as possible.

lets hope all stays OK here and all over the world

[Roger_Murtaugh]

and about the masks, it isn't FUn to wear it, itgives you a FAKE feeling of safety, ONLY sick people should wear it, not healthy people, it doesn't help you to stay healthy!!! When you get in contact with hands of a sick person you are sick yourself!

[JayL]

Relax, dude.

I don't worry using them, it's just a mask, I see people are worried about having to use it.

About it's safety, well, I usually 'touch' hands of people close to me (referring to your example), and whenever a suspicion turns up, the safe others will be warned and they won't even touch their friends, lol. And I didn't mean its funny to use it, but it makes me laugh the fact that minding to use a mask makes some dudes worried.

Just keep informed with news, start putting on some little actions yourself to be careful and stick to the hints which authorities give to the population...

EDIT:

Mr. Wikipedia, our favourite teacher, again tips us off (no idea if someone quoted this already):

Some physicians in the US are recommending the use of masks when in public. The purpose of a face mask is to effectively cover a person's mouth and nose so that if a person is around someone who is infected, there is a decreased likelihood of transmission. Recommendations to protect against the avian flu indicated that using a face mask with a rating of N99, N100 or P100 in the United States or a rating of FFP3 in Europe should be effective in protecting against transmission. While face masks with these ratings provide 99% or greater efficiency in protecting against flu transmission, N95 or FFP2 face masks provide about 94% efficiency. N95 and FFP2 rated face masks may therefore also be effective.

Much better protection than surgery masks is personal hygiene (washing hands at the 1st place) and also don't stand so close to people.

Also one case in Prague.

[Roger_Murtaugh]

as I said before, it seems the forms of the desease are less bad in europe then Mexico, people survive it in EU,... so far

Altair you are an egoist man, you know that?

''lets hope it doesn't comes to estonia?'' and what about other countries and people?

There are already medicins who stop the virus, not stop but slow it down...

11 possible cases on Brazil,hope they find a cure to this Pandemic.

[Matthew_Cipricla]

Wearing those masks DO help. And about you touching a sick person, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. The only way a virus can get into your body is through an opening (although some bacteria can get through your skin pores) you can get swine flu if it gets through your mouth, nose, and even eyes..... Its kinda like saying if you touch someone with AIDs you can also get AIDs.

Both sick and healthy people should be wearing those masks, especially in Mexico...
