Very unlikely it will kill me though don’t be dramatic.

You don't know that,you also don't know if you had caught it and passed it into someone it would kill,you don't know and that is the point of it all ! ten times more infectious than flu

Don't think it's more infectious than flu just fewer people have immunity than recent flu's.

It’s between 2-3 times more infectious than flu according to the r values.

Flu 1.3R
Corona 2-3R

We haven't had a flu when we have had no immunity so the R value is bound to be lower with the flu's.

Everyone who served in the military must have asked themselves a similar question the first time they went into combat. i know I did.

Into combat. I'm sure you did. I'm not sure that I would have done. Might is right. Metaphysically speaking, why do you have that right? Don't worry I am not looking for either an answer nor an argument but it raises many questions.

Agency staff were one of the main causes of the spread of Covid-19 between care homes:

Nice to see the Grauniad try and blame the government, but surely the care home providers must have some responsibility here?
Another failure of the totally incompetent PHE beuracracy here too. After finding out how did they try to stop it?

I know everyone in here likes a good wallow and the 3 pages about how a vaccine trial is a disaster have given some their fix of impending doom. Meanwhile in Massachusetts they have had positive tests of a vaccine that has proven to generate antibodies
