It seems to have a mortality rate half that of the seasonal flu and if you remove the confirmed China cases even less. It most people it will be a mild virus only
It seems to have a mortality rate half that of the seasonal flu and if you remove the confirmed China cases even less. It most people it will be a mild virus onlyI think the markets are just getting a bit jittery at the idea of loads of people not going in to work. I'm still not too worried about the virus, it seems to spread pretty rapidly but the fatality rate is reasonably low and providing you don't have any underlying health concerns it seems similar to the flu.
It’s not a pandemic and it’s no different.I think the word 'pandemic' has people flustered. I had swine flu when that went round in 2009(?) it was a rough bed bound flu for a couple of days but then two weeks off uni. I can't see how this is any different.
I had that one, in bed with tami flu but that was all. This seems to be weaker just easier to spread from human to humanI think the word 'pandemic' has people flustered.

I don't get folk wearing paper a cloth masks, they won't stop a virusI think it's fair enough to do all they can to stop it spreading to protect the vulnerable but it seems like loads of people are losing their shit.
They only help to stop the person wearing it from passing it on.I don't get folk wearing paper a cloth masks, they won't stop a virus
Not very well as the virus is small enough to pass through the mask. You need an army style respirator to stop it.They only help to stop the passing wearing it from passing it on.

Headline news today 1 case in Northern Ireland, 1 fucking caseIt's no wonder people are panicking with the way the news are treating every new case like it's the end of the world.

I have a theory we should stop trying to constrain it, and get it done before it mutates into something far worse!It seems to have a mortality rate half that of the seasonal flu and if you remove the confirmed China cases even less. It most people it will be a mild virus only
It's got the potential to be 20 times more lethal than regular flu.This all seems like insanity. Trying to stop it seems fairly fruitless and it’s less dangerous than seasonal flu. I’m sure I’m showing my ignorance but don’t we just let it do it’s thing and crack on?

That was the official advice given to him from 111 and for me I have one member of my team who is pregnant and another with underlying health issues so not prepared to take the risk.That’s beyond ridiculous.
What evidence is that based on? It has a fatality rate half seasonal flu.It's got the potential to be 20 times more lethal than regular flu.
Virologists don't seem to know that eitherI didn’t know that however I like NW theory above
It wasn't a dig at you more the general advice given by 111 - it's been massively whipped up and is out of proportion.That was the official advice given to him from 111 and for me I have one member of my team who is pregnant and another with underlying health issues so not prepared to take the risk.
Plus from a business point of view he can do pretty much everything he can do at the office from home anyway so it’s a no brainer for me.

I think they're trying to get through to the warm weather before 'letting it loose' as the heat will kill most of it off.I have a theory we should stop trying to constrain it, and get it done before it mutates into something far worse!
Bring back Brexit!Given up watching the news for a while, floods and coronavirus is all we hear about now.
Seasonal flu kills 1in a thousand approxWhat evidence is that based on? It has a fatality rate half seasonal flu.
Seasonal flu kills 1in a thousand approx
This is currently between 2-3 per hundred
Grenners is right, current rates of death are half the seasonal flunot isn’t it’s 0.4%
Seasonal flu kills 1in a thousand approx
This is currently between 2-3 per hundred
2-3 hundred per thousand are you feeling alright??? There have been like 83k cases and 2.8k deaths
Thats over 3% mate.....a bit more than 0.4% don't ya think?
Well its nowhere near the 20/30% that was suggested
