COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Uffa]

It should be noted that the 1918 influenza pandemic had a much more deadly pattern in that it killed more healthy and younger people than older people. Very different to what we are seeing now, so predictions based on this are probably not relevant.

And that the fatality rate (CFR) as explained in SWP's article was between 10% and 20%, not around 2,5% ;)
Different times and arguably far worse medical care, but still.

I don’t think any governments or media can be accused to keeping a lid on it, there is plenty of panic around.

better we are over cautious than under I suppose.

you can still buy bog rolls but hand sanitiser , that ship has sailed.

I’ll just spit on mine

And of course we're the only Italians that have already played their away game lol.

A study I read once was that people born before 1880 were exposed in childhood to a particular virus and therefore had a level of immunity and those born after 1900 also were exposed to another one and again had a better ability to fight this flu strain. This left those born 1880 to 1900 without as much protection and unfortunately these were the same people coming back from the trenches. Must have been an awful time for everyone.

It can't be worse than the plagues at the swamp and I've already survived that shithole once this year. Hope to survive again on Sunday.
