COVID-19 — Coronavirus

When you replied to my post where I stated “seasonal until there’s a vaccine” by telling me that Flu was seasonal as you didn’t understand the difference between the two and their respective abilities to mutate.

You quoted me first, not vice versa.

No,i know full well it is not flu ! Flu has a vaccine and is seasonal was my only general point

Why China? Why are they the country that the WHO look at and are they nearly always the cause for these epidemics? If the WHO are that concerned each May when the WHO get together they should just quarantine the whole fucking shithole and stop anything and everything coming out of there.

The story is from 3 weeks ago, so if they were about to blame Italy, they're sitting on it a long time.

Its an interesting story, ...

So is Bambi.

Sweden's numbers continue to outstrip their Scandinavian neighbours.

Although I understand there is no exit strategy at the moment, countries who have taken more serious action are doing better.

Flu is only seasonal as it mutates at a ridiculous rate and thus we can’t produce a vaccine for all strains at one time to kill it off and stop transmission by getting its R0 down close to zero.

That’s not the same with CV19 in all likelihood. (As explained in that link)

Is there any reliable data on the age profile of all those who have died from this in the UK? They seem to say every day that the age ranges from say 32-103 for example, but what I can’t find anywhere is how many people in each age group have died from this since outset in the UK.

Is this something they don’t want us to know to keep people locked down and maintaining the rules do you think? If young people see a 30 year old has died for example they may continue staying at home. However, If they see that of the 700 people who have died, only 5 were under the age of 50, then they might not.
