Probably more due to improvement in diagnostic test, i.e. a swab is sufficient rather than a blood sample 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasonal flu has an average mortality rate of around 0.1% compared to 1% for Covid-19 and it is much more infectious. Everything the Government is doing now is just aimed at slowing down the spread so the NHS is not overwhelmed. But your estimate of 0.5 million deaths attributable to Covid-19 is probably reasonable. The other thing to bear in mind is that seasonal flu is predictable and infection usually dies back in April. Covid-19 is completely new and nobody knows what it will do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAG Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Chief Medical Officer was saying 50-80% of folk will get it. Apparently 1/3 of people who get it, don’t show symptoms or get ill - so you might have had it already.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Two men in Iran who defied coronavirus health warnings could be jailed and flogged after videos circulated of them licking holy shrines. In one of the videos, viewed more than half a million times, a man is seen at the Masumeh shrine in Qom, saying, "I'm not scared of coronavirus", before licking and kissing the gates. So no more kissing the squirrels then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prahakillie Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 1 hour ago, Squirrelhumper said: You never know, he might be one of the 1%. if he insists on shaking hands with everyone he might: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-vows-coronavirus-not-21622835 Boris Johnson has insisted the coronavirus threat would not stop him greeting people with a handshake. The Prime Minister even said he had shaken the hands of everyone at a hospital where infected patients were being treated. He was speaking at the unveiling of the UK's battle plan to treat the virus. This included a warning that as many as one in five employees could be off work at the peak of the outbreak. France recommended last week that people do not shake hands to prevent the spread of the virus, while Switzerland has said its residents should consider dropping the everyday greeting of kissing each other on the cheek. Mr Johnson however, exhibited no such caution. "I'm shaking hands," Mr Johnson said when asked how he planned to handle visiting dignitaries. "I was at a hospital the other night where I think a few there were actually coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody, you'll be pleased to know, and I continue to shake hands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
