Maybe that could be the sun's corona. Major Ed Dames said he foresaw new sun diseases.

It appears they're expecting this virus to continue relentlessly through summer and perhaps longer...

Almost 20MILLION people in Britain could be infected with the deadly coronavirus by the time the outbreak peaks in the summer, expert warns
The Government's chief scientific adviser yesterday stoked fear across the country after predicting the spiralling crisis, which they claimed may have already infected up to 10,000 people in Britain, won't peak for another 10-14 weeks. And by this time, one infectious disease expert warned that based on current trends between 20 and 30 per cent of Britain - home to 66.4million people - could have been struck down by the virus. What is unclear is how many deaths that would mean.

How the world was paralysed in 66 days: In two months, the killer virus has swept the world at devastating speed with more than 153,000 reported infected as the EU goes into lockdown with France shutting the Eiffel Tower and Spain closing its borders
Countries across Europe were placed into lockdown yesterday in a desperate attempt to stem the soaring tally of coronavirus cases after the Continent became the new 'epicentre' of the global pandemic (right, global map showing number of all coronavirus infections and deaths). France last night took the decision to close all non-essential public locations. Restaurants, shops, cinemas and cafes have shut for the foreseeable future as French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe branded the virus the 'biggest health crisis in a century'.
In Spain, the government declared a state of emergency as the death toll there rose by 120 and the number of confirmed cases leapt from 1,500 to more than 5,700 in 24 hours. Meanwhile, Poland shut down all its airports - forcing thousands of stranded British tourists to head out of the country by car. Borders were also closed to foreign visitors in Denmark, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Russia and Ukraine. Across the Continent, hundreds of tourist attractions and sites were closed including Disneyland Paris, the Eiffel Tower and Barcelona's Sagrada Familia (left, Taiwan military).

Two days before he declared the emergency, he said, "We have very strong emergency powers under the Stafford Act," Trump said. "I have it memorized, practically, as to the powers in that act. And if we need to do something, I'll do it."
So what took so long to build a true strategy to fend off the virus in the US?

"Health and national security experts shake their heads when President Donald Trump says the coronavirus "came out of nowhere" and “blindsided the world.”
They've been warning about the next pandemic for years and criticized the Trump administration's decision in 2018 to dismantle a National Security Council directorate at the White House charged with preparing for when, not if, another pandemic would hit the nation.
Trump's elimination of the office suggested, along with his proposed budget cuts for the CDC, that he did not see the threat of pandemics in the same way that many experts in the field did."
....
He didn't dismantle it to save money, it was only a 250 staff unit, but they were there to help prevent exactly what happened.. He did it because in his hubris he decided it was not important.
But now, they have to throw 50 billion plus another 40 billion in FEMA funds at it like it was the best way to handle things?
90 billion compared to salaries of 250 people who were put in place to help avoid a pandemic just like this. For no other reason than because it was somebody else's idea.

I've never had anything against Gun owners, I'm not one of those Tree hugging ban guns hippy people, But, This right here is a sign of how scared people are. They buy their ammo to protect their resources,
Underline psychology is, People are expecting this to get that bad, That people will have to defend their homes and resources with deadly force.

I know I go on about guns as it's been a hobby of mine for years, but this sort of behavior irritates me. I don't belong to the NRA or any other organization other than my local club - so I can actually shoot and not just stockpile crap to impress my friends. Unfortunately it's rife with a lot of people who, when it comes to actually thinking, prefer to let others do the heavy lifting for them. This will pass and I don't think it'll devolve into anarchy.

I can't help but wonder if this is Nature's way of issuing a correction. It does that from time to time with any population and we're no exception. War, Famine, Pestilence, Death.
Watched a little of Dr.Fauci's interview on CNN's town hall last night. He's good. I'm paraphrasing, but let's let the actual medical and scientific people speak for themselves. Politicians are there to make the right noises to reassure us.
One thing he did seem to downplay was how hardy this thing is on various surfaces. Don't know why, but this popped into my head and we could all use a little levity.

No. This is psychology similar to the toilet paper hoarding. People feel the need to do something, anything, in reaction to crisis. Religious people pray. Morons with guns fort up.
I've been a collector and shooter for years, sometimes in local leagues. There's a whole lot to the hobby that has nothing to do with TV, movies or even hunting. Part of it is a mechanical and historical interest, maybe like collecting old watches and clocks. I am embarrassed by the nonsense I hear and I'm not alone. I'd like to say there's a 'silent majority' that feel the way I do but sadly although we're a larger percentage than is generally known will never be a majority.

I've been and told my old mum that our government is going to ask her to isolate for maybe up to four months as she has just past eighty and that I will take the roll of facilitator.
I'm going to have to back our decision and toe the line even though it worries me we are doing it differently to all other nations. The risk Johnson has taken is reliant on a second wave and our natural immunity coming into its own. His party slogan for a nation was get brexit done and the budget had an obvious and repeated slogan for spending as getting it done. He wants this virus done and could use the slogan again.
Reports of a u turn are fake news as he is drip feeding information and to protect the elderly and vulnerable were always top priority and by stating that in a week or so the over eighties will be asked to self isolate for up to four months shows no sign of a u turn.
I want it and to be past it and my mother is fit and well so she will be fine. Once it's done you don't get it again and that is a fact I believe to be correct. Reports of such happening have been to be proven as misdiagnosis first time round.
Going to lick a tube hand rail.

I did hear an official on a late night chat show who mentioned that once this has past there has to be a global inquiry into China and a good look in general as to why these deaseses originate in the East.
They don't mean it but they have to learn a lesson after this and I would like to think an announcement will come forward before hand, where they own it and look to address it.

I think it is simply overpopulation. A perfect breeding ground for a z virus.
More opportunity for a germ to evolve into something new.
I think this germ took them by surprise, and they were so busy trying to keep up, it did blindside them in a way.
I think they just were not prepared for this thing to sneak up on them the way it did because by the time any symptoms became present, hundreds or thousands contracted it via condensed populous of their food markets. And spread it further...
It was a sleeping virus bomb, and a mushroom cloud of "Oh... shit!"
