CV and mad panic behaviour

[cookie2]

We always buy our toilet paper from from one single online supplier - he's "our sole agent". Ahem! I'll let myself out........

Proof that there's a sucker born every minute.  Reverse scenes of a North Korea supermarket.  All on display but you can't buy it.

Some may have already read/heard the stats on CV, but supposedly only 2% of the people that get it, die. Most of them are old.
If you are under the age of 50 and get CV, you have a 0.2% chance of death......and i'm tipping most of that 0.2% are either already sick and/or are children/infants.

If you are relatively fit and healthy, you are fine.

Mostly correct Kruddler. Those at risk of dying are over 60 with a pre-existing condition (immune deficiency, respiratory or cardiovascular disease, diabetes etc). Many people who get it either don't have any symptoms, or just get a common cold. Other coronaviruses that have been around forever cause about 25% of cases of common cold. But one interesting thing about COVID-19 is that children are grossly under-represented in those who are getting sick from it, the experts are not sure why, but if you're under 18 you are very likely to not even know you've got it. Similar in some ways to diseases like chicken pox, if you get it young enough you barely show any symptoms at all, but get it as an adult and it can knock you around big time

Young kids, infants and children, generally don't get it, they don't know why but they are working to find out!

From what I've read, this year's version of the flu will have a greater impact than COVID-19.

As Lance Corporal Jones used to say, "Don't Panic!"  Or was it. "They don't like it up 'em!"?

George Galloway is not always everyone's favourite but this interview he conducted is very interesting.

Influenza has killed 16,000 people in the USA this season, COVID19 has killed 2
