    Cheques are germ receptacles, as is the playing surface of tables. When I dealt, first thing I did when going on break was wash my hands. Casinos a definite breeding ground for this.

    This is silly. While 3,000 people have unfortunately died from coronavirus over the past two months (50 people per day), here are some stats on some comparatively atrocious epidemics that we should also be informed about every single hour, in lurid detail, until something changes: mor3 people die of second hand smoke each day. If you still go to casinos, ignoring that...

    – 87,000 women a year, or 238 a day, are murdered.


    – 36,000 people a day are forced to flee their homes, with a total of 70.8 million people currently forcibly displaced.


    – 24,600 people die every day from starvation, and 820 million people don’t have enough food to eat.


    – 10,000 people die daily because they lack access to healthcare.


    – 6,000 people die daily from work-related accidents or illnesses, for 2.3 million people per year. There are 340 million occupational accidents every year.


    – 2,191 people die to suicide every day, for 800,000 per year.


    – 1,643 people die every day due to second-hand smoking.


    – 740 pedestrians are killed on roads every day.


    – Around 998 million women have experienced sexual violence (that is around 35% of women).


    – At any given time, around 40.3 million people are working in some kind of forced labor or marriage.


    – An area of forest the size of the UK is being destroyed every year.


    – There are 150 million people without somewhere to live and 1.6 billion people living in inadequate housing.


    – More than 50% of indigenous adults suffer from Type 2 diabetes.


    – An estimated 560,000 people were killed in Syria by December 2018.


    – Almost half of humanity is living on less than US$5.50 per day.

    Pandemics should not be trivialized. The flu pandemic in 1918 killed 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 in just a few months. Of course that was before we knew what a virus was. Flu was named for the Italian word influenza, meaning influence, because some thought it was caused by influence from planetary alignment. However, as much as medical science has progressed, it still takes over a year to develop a vaccine, and COVID-19 has spread to 84 countries in six weeks. (There's a case one mile from me.) Folks travel far more than in 1918.

    It isn't silly. Unfortunately, it is extremely dangerous. For all intents and purposes this is a new disease that it is easily transmitted person to person (as well as bat to person) and appears to have the potential to seriously affect whole populations.

    I'm not sure if it can be called a pandemic yet (see below).

    WHO’s definition of pandemic is “the worldwide spread of a new disease.” Although cases of Covid-19 have appeared “worldwide,” it’s not clear, at least outside of China, that there is sustained local transmission of the infection. In other words, most cases can still be traced to travel in hotspot areas.
    On March 3, Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told a Senate committee that “if sustained person-to-person spread in the community takes hold outside China, this will increase the likelihood that the WHO will deem it a global pandemic.” (these 2 paragraphs from WHO website)
