One year ago today, 20th January 2020, an astute former poster opened the first Coronavirus thread, The Wuhan Clan. Well worth reading the first few months posts for a bit of nostalgia, here’s a small sampling.
Astute Poster. “Is this the big one lads?” “Chinese New Year should be cancelled and travel restrictions put in place before it’s too late”
“Astute poster always looking for the worst case scenario” Really? @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy
“More people have died from the flu today than will die from this virus in it’s entire run”

It was all hunky-dory until the Italians got their hands on it. I believe @PhattPike called that one too.
A couple of lads were sneered at for saying the risks were underestimated. It’s funny a lot of the LIDTF posters did not take this seriously at the start and then were spooked. The more level headed members were able to deal with the reality having understood what was about to unfold.
