Oddly, if this Coronavirus is anything like flu in its effects, it may well be your immune system that kills you. Over- reaction to infection can be as fatal as underreaction.

Most effective treatment: "Stay at home, take plain fluids and paracetamol, keep comfortable, wait for it to go away".

This works in 98% of cases. The other 2% die, but that happens with lots of other viruses and isn't statistically significant.

MB, I did not know that but it makes sense. The people I know that use sanitizer like water and are germ-a-phobes are usually sick all the time.

Water is an excellent sanitizer. Sunlight is even better.

...just wondering...how is Sturton?

As to the rumour that he is patient zero...Sadly, I am not surprised.

Due to his characteristic impatience, bad temper, and competition with his siblings, he got himself "promoted" to being Patient -1, although Impatient -1 might be a better description.

If you have antirats and the virus it does not follow that you will get antivirus and rats.
