The Flu that Killed 50 Million that is currently on iPlayer (released in 2018) has an interesting final 3 mins in which they say that a killer flu is our greatest risk and that "a worst case modern pandemic is estimated to be 1%". They also say some things about dealing with a (then) future event that make it rather difficult not to watch and go: Edited March 22, 2020 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I've seen this reported a few times by people who have had the virus. They get the symptoms, make a very quick recovery over a day or two then it seems to come back with a vengeance. I wouldnt say it was gone this morning but I felt a bit more normal and now Inprobably feel worse than yesterday. Worst bit is the muscle aches. The bottom of my back making me constantly shift about trying to get comfy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binos Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 1 hour ago, Savage Henry said: Why? There’s absolutely no reason to. There is a “rational, controlled behaviour” mode which sits somewhere in the middle, and which we are all being expected to practice now. All that has happened in the last ten days is that certain leisure pursuits have been put on the back burner for a while. Nobody should be “shitting bricks” at this point. Tell that to folk in Italy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be doing something right. Probably chucking all their dogs into rivers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, some will refuse to take this seriously until they themselves are on ventilators. Ventilators they deserve to be deprived of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
