And these cases remain the exception to the rule and will continue to be so. I am not razzing you stevewinn...that's the point really, 3 weeks ago. I was speculating if everyone in my family came down with it...who would live? The whole point is not to say that you are wrong about anything, but rather how we don't really know much still about this virus. The numbers in the US for example...Doubling every 2 days! If we were all just, ho-hum-its-not-that-bad, those numbers would probably continue...and for a short time they probably will anyway...but if that rate sustained...the full exposure point, meaning every person in America, would be confirmed by April 18th. The numbers are readily available and are changing quite frequently. Here is a good place to see the whole world at large. The exponential rate at which this virus is spreading is really quite alarming and should be a wake up call to those who think 'it's not all that bad'. The good news...if you can believe the Chinese Government numbers at all...is that the doubling rate in China is now 33 39 days. Currently the death rate world wide is about 4%...which is quite huge considering that death via flu virus is 1%. The lyrics to Pink Floyd's Sheep song from the Animals album really do ring true: Better stay at home and do as your told, Stay out of the road if you want to grow old.

Best practice take the precautions to keep you and yours safe. The demographic remains the same. all deaths in the UK have been people with underlying health issues. These people with underlying health problems are also at high risk of succumbing to the Flu. if it wasn't for coronavirus it is highly likely the Flu would have been the cause of death. Yesterdays' figures for the UK. UPDATE on coronavirus testing in the UK: As of 1pm on 19 March, A total of 64,621 have been tested: 61,352 negative. 3,269 positive. 144 patients who tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) have sadly died. 0.005% of the UK population Has tested positive for Covid-19. 0.0002% have sadly died.

A key piece of the above information is missing...the survival rate...of the 3269 confirmed cases, there are only 67 who have recovered. Of the 3269 confirmed cases...145 have died. 4% That number may go up or down depending on how many actually survive...but .04 is consistent with the rest of the world's figures. AND...btw...the Doubling Rate in the UK is also every 2 days currently. All of this information in it's entirety can be found here. Quote These people with underlying health problems are also at high risk of succumbing to the Flu. if it wasn't for coronavirus it is highly likely the Flu would have been the cause of death If there were 3269 confirmed cases of the flu...same demographics not withstanding....the death rate would only be 36. Because the death rate for the flu is typically around 1% compared to the death rate of 4% for Covid-19. If you look at the map...here...virtually every country in the world has at least one case of the virus. Which before Christmas was practically unheard of except in China.

Festina Posted March 20, 2020 #333 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Let’s not forget other flu victims Approximately 20,000 in the US have died from H1N1 this flu season, 136 of them children under 4. Quote Unfortunately, this year’s flu season has taken an extremely hard toll on children, with at least 136 deaths this season. According to the CDC, as of February 29, hospitalization rates among children aged 4 and under were the highest on record at this point in the flu season. The 136 child deaths also mark the highest on record since the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2020/03/09/panic-coronavirus-20000-died-from-flu Not one child has died from Corona — not one. The Great majority of Corona deaths are of very aged immune compromised sick People — 80+ Years old. From pneumonia, which is a common cause of death amongst Very Old Sick People. Why are children 'missing' from coronavirus outbreak cases? https://www.livescience.com/why-kids-missing-coronavirus-cases.html Edited March 20, 2020 by Festina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted March 20, 2020 #336 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Well, it's what you wanted by voting in Johnson. The man has just destroyed thousands upon thousands of shops, cafes, pubs that do not have the cushion of big chain brewery ownership, independent music venues, nightclubs, you name it. You wanted an ultra-authoritarian, ultra-rightwing conservative government, and you've got one. is it still worth it because he'll "tell Brussels where to stick it"? Perhaps RabidMongoose might think so, but anyone with any levelheadedness can only wish that they were living in Putin's Russia right now, which seems to be one of the very few sane nations left on earth.

Space Commander Travis Posted March 20, 2020 #337 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) I think i may as well ****ing try and get the ****ing coronaviorus, since Johnson and the hysterics (such as some in this thread) have shut down the entire ****ing country. "Sadly 0.0002% have died", dear crapping lord. What th hell is the point sealing yourself off from humanity if when Johnson does permit us to emerge from hibernation ("in anything up to a year" now it is) there's absolutely nothing ****ing functioning. Well done ****ing Johnson. You've tipped me ****ing over the edge, you panicky hypocritical sanctimonious, horribly horribly fake little mini-dictator.
