    IT IS ONE of TWO WHO EXERCISES: The Previous would be H1N1 2009?
    "The United Nations (including WHO) conducts at least two system-wide
    training and simulation exercises, including one for covering the deliberate
    release of a lethal respiratory pathogen."

    Being that you are, in the UK, now banned from groups of more than two.
    That couples are now banned from staying in each-other's houses. Exercise!
    And, to top the cherry on your little birthday cake, it's all a World-Bank exercise.
    So once again, let us reiterate. You need to participate in one form of exercise, per day.

    So, when do you start to have a problem; jobsworths? We live all this until September?

    Don't get me wrong, I do intend to wear now my Triosyn T-5000V Milspec masks
    but I think it a prudent precaution to also build up some natural annual immunity

    The common cold is also one variety of a large number of CORONAVIRUSES.

    https://web.stanford.edu/group/virus/corona/colds.html
    "The common cold is a virally related syndrome and has been associated with over 100 different viruses, including Human Coronavirus and Rhinovirus. Common symptoms include throat discomfort , followed by sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, coughing and decreased energy level. Fever is uncommon with colds, except in young children."

    https://web.stanford.edu/group/virus/corona/colds.html
    "Strong links have been drawn between stress and immune system functioning.
    The more stressed you are, the weaker your immune system will be and the more likely you are to develop symptoms."

    "I can testify to this. As during the H1N1 WHO Level-6 pandemic of 2008/9 I developed symptoms of a cold and or flu, during really stressed online researching.
    I went to bed & within one afternoon, these had all completely passed.

    The Trump administration is organizing a Manhattan Project-style effort to drastically cut the time needed to develop a coronavirus vaccine, with a goal of making enough doses for most Americans by year’s end.

    Trump announces 'Operation Warp Speed,'...
    says U.S. could have coronavirus vaccine by January.

    Likening it to the national push to build the atomic bomb during World War II, President Trump on Friday announced "Operation Warp Speed", a government coordinating effort aimed at securing a coronavirus vaccine by the end of the year.

    "Operation Warp Speed, that means big and it means fast," Trump said from the White House Rose Garden. "A massive scientific and industrial, logistic endeavor unlike anything our country has seen since the Manhattan Project."

    Its objective is to finish developing and then manufacture and distribute a proven coronavirus vaccine as fast as possible.

    "We'd love to see if we can do it prior to the end of the year," Trump said. "I think we're going to have some very good results coming out very quickly."

    'I see, I see. So, "We're off to the stars", are we Mr President, Sir?' How are we feeling about that?

    PS

    And actually, 'Operation Warp-Speed' was 1st announced back at the rear-end of April.
    So, not coincidentally, the european and UK news services are only announcing it today.

    I'd only be negligent as son of two Ministry of Defence parents, to not forewarn adequately:
    Don't think for a minute that 'Covid19' is the last we'll see of these sorts of lockdown events.
    I'd say a lot more but it'd only muddy already clogged waters. You know what 'prepping' means?

    Biological Weapons Convention
    https://www.britannica.com/event/Biological-Weapons-Convention

    "... (BWC), formally Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons
    The convention was signed in London, Moscow, and Washington, D.C., on April 10, 1972, and thereafter was opened for signing by other states. The convention went into force on March 26, 1975, following the submission of 22 national instruments of ratification (such as passage by a national assembly). By 2013, 170 states and Taiwan had signed and ratified the BWC, and 10 states had signed but not ratified it. Sixteen member states of the United Nations had neither signed nor ratified the treaty by that time."

    "Of course, like other developing countries, China is faced with new challenges.
    Some Western countries have expressed suspicion that China may be developing a biological weapons capability.
    Such assertions are made in official government documents and elsewhere."


    And I'd say we have time; keep your eyes on the turn of the next decade: 2030/31. Trending now.

    April 16, 2020: 'Health Minister' Nick Hancock debuts his acting career in 'Hot Water' which was shown to an enthusiastic yet restrained audience at a Nightingale Hospital. Of course; I do remember that. No Palme d'Or at Cannes though a fine start to the year(s) of Covid.
