So to compare the figures is just moronic. "People who die could have lived longer" is wonderful insight, cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Peak in 12 weeks" being the latest. On Monday the graph from Downing Street showed an unchecked peak in April, and a flattened peak in early May. Now, 3 days later, its the end of June? Globally, approximately 389,000 deaths a year are caused by seasonal flu (with the upper range around 500,000). YTD there have been 10,000 deaths from Covid-19, and we are rapidly approaching 25% of the way through the year. How close to 389,000 / 500,000 deaths do you think we will see before the year end, and how far above 500,000 would we have to reach to not consider everything that is going on an over-reaction? There is little point in discussing mortality rates as the number of infected is unknown. The current rate of 4% is higher than reality. The sad thing is that if, through collective effort and huge sacrifice, we miraculously bring the death toll down to normal flu levels, people will say it was a big fuss about nothing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government should have forced the closure of pubs, restaurants etc if they really wanted to limit unnecessary social interaction. Leaving it up to individuals and businesses was never going to work. It was my lunch I stopped for, as I was out at lunchtime. Is this causing society such a problem that I should be ashamed? Am I up there with the Miami spring breakers? The Benidorm beer swilling ‘it’s only flu innit’ crowd? The throngs in London pubs? Naw, I went for a cup of fcuking coffee. Will be doing it again tomorrow. Get the law onto me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vimto90 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 How many of the people around the world who die of ‘bog standard flu’ also had 5-10 years more in them, but contracting flu did them in?And that is just life unfortunately. A disease needlessly brought from a bat eating chinaman (or woman or whatever other genders there are these days) to our shores isn't which is why every death is needless. Maybe this disease will become a part of our lives on a yearly basis but it is not that just now so the flu comparison is just daft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenortherner Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Factories are closing every day now. The supply chain is thinning down. The 3rd world will be desperate very soon. I honestly see Europe being overwhelmed as they try to enter in their millions. It's going to get a lot worse! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Casual racism from Vimto aside, I thought the disease still has an unknown origin, but is near identical to the virus found in Pangolins rather than Bats? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
