"Honestly, op, you really need to improve your understanding of what's going on. This virus has the potential to kill half a million people in the UK this year if no action is taken. In the USA it's over two million. Do you think this is acceptable? How many of your friends and family would you be happy to see die before something was done? Get your information from trusted sources rather than down the pub." Actually more than that, t this went unchecked the NHS would crash and burn within a week, there would be deaths and infections this and that sickness going about, bodies rotting everywhere. Doesn't bare thinking about | |||

"The OP make some good points. Yes the virus is a serious issue on many levels but needs to be kept in perspective. As I keep repeating 100,000+ people die every year in the UK from Coronary Heart disease and McDonald's and the chippies are still open. Big recession coming - get ready for years more austerity so that the quantitative easing money ca go upwards to the corporations and billionaires." And this is up to half a million additional deaths which we can prevent if we all take care of each other. | |||

"This virus has the potential to kill half a million people in the UK this year if no action is taken. " Even if true there have been that many avoidable deaths in the UK in the last 4 years (from things like Coronary heart disease -see my previous post). My figures are from the ONS data "Avoidable mortality in the UK" BTW No excitement or hysteria about those - last time I looked plenty of people were still ordering extra fries and taking no exercise. | |||

"30,000 people died from Flu last year and no on batted an eyelid, its amazing how the media influences society " Seeing as this has a mortality rate anywhere between 10 and 30 times greater than flu, I'll let you do the maths. | |||

"We both have “high risk” parents but realistically this whole COVID 19 thing has got our hand!! People on hear slamming others for carrying on like normal! Christ people!! We have a world population of 7.7 bn and the BBC has just announced that worldwide, CV cases have reached 200.000.... cases NOT deaths So in percentage terms around 0.000026% of the world population. The only pandemic that exists is the fear that’s being perpetrated. What we actually need to be concerned about is not a cold virus, but * Economic and financial meltdown * Mass unemployment * Destruction of small businesses * Food rationing * Fuel rationing * Digital currency * Martial law/loss of freedom * Medical tyranny Every day we are being primed to accept a vaccine as the answer to this ‘pandemic’. For which the manufacturers will make billions, while most people in this country face ruin. " oh well said someone who actually knows what they are talking about. | |||

My pessimistic estimate is as follows in a completely uncontrolled spread; Population say 64 million. 80% get it = 51 million. 4% need hospital treatment = 2 million. But the hospital treatment won't be available because the NHS would be completely overwhelmed. So that gives potentially 2 million deaths. Of course it would be toned down by timing and other factors. This is serious OP. | |||

"This is a new virus that little is known about by the world’s top scientists, let alone lay people like myself. It’s akin to fighting the proverbial Sci-Fi alien that we know nothing about. Viruses can mutate and a vaccine or cure for COVID-19 may not work on any new strain. What we do know is the least contact we have with others, the less chance of transmission of any form of any virus. My advice is simply listen to the experts (NOT ignorant politicians and U.S. Presidents) and do as they say. " Halle. lu. jah. Thank you for being the voice of sanity. COVID-19 is a fast mutating virus. Since it's discovery it's mutated again and there are now two strains in the wild... We can't control it, we can't protect against it, we can't cure it. | |||

So in 4 hours the number of cases has gone up by 50,000 according to your values. Your percent of the population is based on the number of cases today. These numbers will increase exponentially if nothing is done. It will be all over by sept if nothing is done but by then we will hVe had over 500,000 deaths in the UK alone due to the virus. | |||

Italy did have panic buying, Germany too, so has France.... Just search online and you'll see. China they didn't have the opportunity to panic buy as their lock down started during Chinese New Year when the shops were all shut anyway | |||

"30,000 people died from Flu last year and no on batted an eyelid, its amazing how the media influences society Seeing as this has a mortality rate anywhere between 10 and 30 times greater than flu, I'll let you do the maths." Im not sure that is the case the Spanish flu pandemic of the 1920's infected 500 million people around the world, or about 27% of the world population ans was virulent enough to kill 50 million but this isn't that nasty. I saw a post from another thread on the forums that said. "Swingers clubs need to close because the bodily fluids we like to exchange all carry this virus and we don't yet have a way of preventing the virus taking hold. The slowing down of the rate of transfer is what will allow the NHS to have sufficient treatments available to keep most of us alive." 'Keep most of us alive' !!! This isn't the black death, according to the W.H.O. website as at 15th March 2020: SITUATION IN NUMBERS total and new cases in last 24 hours Globally 153 517 confirmed (10 982 new) 5735 deaths (343 new) giving an estimated death rate of 3.75% Add in the factor that these are 'confirmed' cases and the suspected number of actual cases is at the very least 3 times the confirmed number then that rate drops to 1.25% then add in the factors that the vast majority of deaths are in people with major underlying health conditions and over the age of 70 and we can see this isn't the 'black death' or 'spanish flu' scenario its being purported to be...is it serious yes but bear in mind from the W.H.O's own statistics over 98% of people catching it will not only not die but actually experience symptoms not much worse than a common cold. Yes the rates will probably increase but the underlying factors will remain. Be concerned, be careful and most of all be mindful of those at most risk but please stop going into full panic mode and think we are all going to have to find ways to keep most of us alive. | |||

"At last some real sense. While any death is sad to those concerned, how many deaths this winter from ‘normal’ flu and such like? " There is normally, on average 8000 deaths from flu in a sector of people with underlying health problems per year. NHS data. Carona has been found in 144 so far. The flu season will be over soon. | |||

"These people quoting flu deaths... News from Italy is that the army has been called in to remove deceased victims to other areas for cremation because the local undertakers can't handle the volume. Is this your understanding of normal day to day existence with the flu virus? We are Italy, three weeks delayed. Why are we in this mess? Because of people who said what's the fuss? It's just hard to believe people are still saying it now. " | |||

"About 20,000 die from the flu each year in Italy. 4000 have died in 1 MONTH of corona. That equates to 48000 in a year, and that is at the current rate without growth " That is just flu, not other underlying causes | |||

"30,000 people died from Flu last year and no on batted an eyelid, its amazing how the media influences society Seeing as this has a mortality rate anywhere between 10 and 30 times greater than flu, I'll let you do the maths. Im not sure that is the case the Spanish flu pandemic of the 1920's infected 500 million people around the world, or about 27% of the world population ans was virulent enough to kill 50 million but this isn't that nasty. I saw a post from another thread on the forums that said. "Swingers clubs need to close because the bodily fluids we like to exchange all carry this virus and we don't yet have a way of preventing the virus taking hold. The slowing down of the rate of transfer is what will allow the NHS to have sufficient treatments available to keep most of us alive." 'Keep most of us alive' !!! This isn't the black death, according to the W.H.O. website as at 15th March 2020: SITUATION IN NUMBERS total and new cases in last 24 hours Globally 153 517 confirmed (10 982 new) 5735 deaths (343 new) giving an estimated death rate of 3.75% Add in the factor that these are 'confirmed' cases and the suspected number of actual cases is at the very least 3 times the confirmed number then that rate drops to 1.25% then add in the factors that the vast majority of deaths are in people with major underlying health conditions and over the age of 70 and we can see this isn't the 'black death' or 'spanish flu' scenario its being purported to be...is it serious yes but bear in mind from the W.H.O's own statistics over 98% of people catching it will not only not die but actually experience symptoms not much worse than a common cold. Yes the rates will probably increase but the underlying factors will remain. Be concerned, be careful and most of all be mindful of those at most risk but please stop going into full panic mode and think we are all going to have to find ways to keep most of us alive. So on the 15th March 5700 deaths. Today (20th March) over 10,000 deaths. So death rate doubling every 5 days. 20,000 by March 25th. 40,000 by 30th March. 80,000 by 4th April. 160,000 by 9th Aptil. 1.25 million by 24th April. 10 million by 9th May. Yep nothing to worry about " Fascinated to find where you are getting your figures the latest release from the WHO was on the 17th and the mortality rate rose by 0.3% so not even close to doubling every 5 days | |||

"Honestly, op, you really need to improve your understanding of what's going on. This virus has the potential to kill half a million people in the UK this year if no action is taken. In the USA it's over two million. Do you think this is acceptable? How many of your friends and family would you be happy to see die before something was done? Get your information from trusted sources rather than down the pub. Actually more than that, t this went unchecked the NHS would crash and burn within a week, there would be deaths and infections this and that sickness going about, bodies rotting everywhere. Doesn't bare thinking about" Referring to a comment on the news this evening "because of austerity policies over the last few years the health service will struggle to cope..." Draw your own conclusions? Take care everyone. | |||

My condolences Statistically, without intervention we are looking at a scenario similar to the Spanish Flu, except there are much more people and travel much more common place. If Spanish Flu with a mortality rate of 2.5 on a world population of 1.8 billion caused 50 million deaths, what potential does COVID-19 have with a mortality rate of 3.4 on 7.7 billion? | |||

"We both have “high risk” parents but realistically this whole COVID 19 thing has got our hand!! People on hear slamming others for carrying on like normal! Christ people!! We have a world population of 7.7 bn and the BBC has just announced that worldwide, CV cases have reached 200.000.... cases NOT deaths So in percentage terms around 0.000026% of the world population. The only pandemic that exists is the fear that’s being perpetrated. What we actually need to be concerned about is not a cold virus, but * Economic and financial meltdown * Mass unemployment * Destruction of small businesses * Food rationing * Fuel rationing * Digital currency * Martial law/loss of freedom * Medical tyranny Every day we are being primed to accept a vaccine as the answer to this ‘pandemic’. For which the manufacturers will make billions, while most people in this country face ruin. " Take a look at Italy and Spain. | |||

"30,000 people died from Flu last year and no on batted an eyelid, its amazing how the media influences society Seeing as this has a mortality rate anywhere between 10 and 30 times greater than flu, I'll let you do the maths. Known cases! There are likely many multiples of that in ACTUAL cases. The mortality rate is different in different countries depending almost entirely on the % of testing. UK are only testing those who are treated medicalky with serious symptons...so mortality rate seams higher. Other countries testing vastly higher percentages so mortality rate seems much lower.... that's "doing the maths". Also wort noting that ALL deaths in uk so far had serious underlying health problems. No consolation for those lost or their families I know. But worth noting...

"30,000 people died from Flu last year and no on batted an eyelid, its amazing how the media influences society Seeing as this has a mortality rate anywhere between 10 and 30 times greater than flu, I'll let you do the maths. And unlike flu, we have zero immunity to this. And it isn't flu, it's a respiratory illness. You do know that flu is also a respiratory illness...and also another type of corona virus. COVID19 means COrona VIrus D19." Have to correct this: Flu is not a coronavirus, it's from the orthimyxiviridae family - SARS-COV-2, the virus everyone calls COVID19, but that actually stands for 'Coronavirus Infectious Disease 19' belongs to the family 'coronaviridae' - of which about 200 members cause the common cold.

That's the problem. The medical services are buckling under the pressure. There comes a point where people come in to be treated and die before they even get to see a doctor. People are dying in isolation without even getting to a hospital. That's why the government's initial concept of "herd immunity" was pure insanity. | |||

"This virus has the potential to kill half a million people in the UK this year if no action is taken. Even if true there have been that many avoidable deaths in the UK in the last 4 years (from things like Coronary heart disease -see my previous post). My figures are from the ONS data "Avoidable mortality in the UK" BTW No excitement or hysteria about those - last time I looked plenty of people were still ordering extra fries and taking no exercise." No excitement or hysteria because deaths from over eating chips isn't dynamically contagious. The NHS is already at capacity due to a significant number who are ill because they've had a few too many burgers, but the predicted demand they place on services is a gentle curve, conversely coronas is a sharp spike and if the prediction is right services will fail and people will die unnecessarily, many of whom with conditions unconnected to corona, extreme complacency now has the capacity to kill us all. | |||

"In case people missed the last 9 years the people of the UK have been screwed over with austerity. What happened today in the chancellor's speech was almost a reversal of that stance. Supposedly 20 000 letters have been sent to retired NHS staff, reversing years of whitling down... So who thinks this is in response to a bit of "media hype"?" | |||

"At last some real sense. While any death is sad to those concerned, how many deaths this winter from ‘normal’ flu and such like? There is normally, on average 8000 deaths from flu in a sector of people with underlying health problems per year. NHS data. Carona has been found in 144 so far. The flu season will be over soon. " Flu deaths don’t double every 3 days! We keep on this trend and we see 8000 deaths a day within a few weeks. There is a political decision do you try to minimise the number of deaths but destroy the economy or allow 500,000 CV patients to die, plus many more accident and none CV illnesses patients because the healthcare service simply can’t treat them? Italy now has 600 deaths a day, soon it will be 1000 a day, 2000 a day.... but it’s only numbers. 40% of those infected over 70 need hospital treatment. Once we saturate care capacity in about 2 weeks time, you may as well put a bullet in any pensioner who gets infected rather than leave them to die in hospital car parks. | |||

"For those that don't think this threat is serious...and that if we did nothing a few people would die can I just tell you this. Someone I know works for our local council. He was given a job 3 weeks ago. Its was to find two separate parcels of land that could be bought immediately that if the virus gets out of control could be used as mass graves.....that's not hysteria and its not hearsay its fact. I was a naysayer at the start but there is too much evidence from the worlds governments reactions that should tell you what could happen if we do nothing. I think the world would have accepted a few hundred thousand deaths world wide but this is about preventing millions of deaths " Please can you cite the research behind this? | |||

"I think part of the problem it is really, really, hard to believe that this is real and happening right now, right here and that we could potentially lose so many people. It's a real big thing to try to get your head around. " I disagree. I can wrap my head around it quite easily. My mum may not survive. Several of my relatives in Italy may not survive. It’s not difficult for me to understand the possibilities. But I’m not getting bent out of shape as I’m doing the best I can and I know that what will be will be. I’m not religious either. But I’m hoping for the best, not panicking and certainly not believing the scaremongering | |||

" I'm not trying to panic anybody, however there's a stark reality to the current, fast changing situation. Describing Corona as 'flu' (which was the original post I was responding to) will create a climate of complacency which inevitably will lead to increased proliferation of the disease, collapse of services, increased Corona deaths and increased deaths unrelated to Corona-wait till you see what social disorder and real panic looks like if this disease is not contained. | |||

Why is COVID-19 different from the flu ... this will help you understand the severity. Most informative description I have read so far! Shared by an NHS colleague to a Coronavirus Group, set up to share advice and support for NHS staff ???? Feeling confused as to why Coronavirus is a bigger deal than Seasonal flu? Here it is in a nutshell. I hope this helps. Feel free to share this to others who don’t understand... It has to do with RNA sequencing.... i.e. genetics. Seasonal flu is an “all human virus”. The DNA/RNA chains that make up the virus are recognized by the human immune system. This means that your body has some immunity to it before it comes around each year... you get immunity two ways...through exposure to a virus, or by getting a flu shot. Novel viruses, come from animals.... the WHO tracks novel viruses in animals, (sometimes for years watching for mutations). Usually these viruses only transfer from animal to animal (pigs in the case of H1N1) (birds in the case of the Spanish flu). But once, one of these animal viruses mutates, and starts to transfer from animals to humans... then it’s a problem, Why? Because we have no natural or acquired immunity.. the RNA sequencing of the genes inside the virus isn’t human, and the human immune system doesn’t recognize it so, we can’t fight it off. Now.... sometimes, the mutation only allows transfer from animal to human, for years it’s only transmission is from an infected animal to a human before it finally mutates so that it can now transfer human to human... once that happens we have a new contagion phase. Depending on the fashion of this new mutation, that's what decides how contagious, or how deadly it’s gonna be.. H1N1 was deadly....but it did not mutate in a way that was as deadly as the Spanish flu. It’s RNA was slower to mutate and it attacked its host differently, too. Fast forward. Now, here comes this Coronavirus... it existed in animals only, for nobody knows how long...but one day, at an animal market, in Wuhan China, in December 2019, it mutated and made the jump from animal to people. At first, only animals could give it to a person... But here is the scary part.... in just TWO WEEKS it mutated again and gained the ability to jump from human to human. Scientists call this quick ability, “slippery” This Coronavirus, not being in any form a “human” virus (whereas we would all have some natural or acquired immunity). Took off like a rocket. And this was because, Humans have no known immunity...doctors have no known medicines for it. And it just so happens that this particular mutated animal virus, changed itself in such a way the way that it causes great damage to human lungs.. That’s why Coronavirus is different from seasonal flu, or H1N1 or any other type of influenza.... this one is slippery AF. And it’s a lung eater...And, it’s already mutated AGAIN, so that we now have two strains to deal with, strain s, and strain L....which makes it twice as hard to develop a vaccine. We really have no tools in our shed, with this. History has shown that fast and immediate closings of public places has helped in the past pandemics. Philadelphia and Baltimore were reluctant to close events in 1918 and they were the hardest hit in the US during the Spanish Flu. Factoid: Henry VIII stayed in his room and allowed no one near him, till the Black Plague passed...(honestly...I understand him so much better now). Just like us, he had no tools in his shed, except social isolation... And let me end by saying....right now it’s hitting older folks harder... but this genome is so slippery...if it mutates again (and it will). Who is to say, what it will do next. Be smart folks... acting like you’re unafraid is so not sexy right now. #flattenthecurve. Stay home folks... and share this to those that just are not catching on. | |||

Depending on the fashion of this new mutation, that's what decides how contagious, or how deadly it’s gonna be.. H1N1 was deadly....but it did not mutate in a way that was as deadly as the Spanish flu. It’s RNA was slower to mutate and it attacked its host differently, too. Fast forward. Now, here comes this Coronavirus... it existed in animals only, for nobody knows how long...but one day, at an animal market, in Wuhan China, in December 2019, it mutated and made the jump from animal to people. At first, only animals could give it to a person... But here is the scary part.... in just TWO WEEKS it mutated again and gained the ability to jump from human to human. Scientists call this quick ability, “slippery” This Coronavirus, not being in any form a “human” virus (whereas we would all have some natural or acquired immunity). Took off like a rocket. And this was because, Humans have no known immunity...doctors have no known medicines for it. And it just so happens that this particular mutated animal virus, changed itself in such a way the way that it causes great damage to human lungs.. That’s why Coronavirus is different from seasonal flu, or H1N1 or any other type of influenza.... this one is slippery AF. And it’s a lung eater...And, it’s already mutated AGAIN, so that we now have two strains to deal with, strain s, and strain L....which makes it twice as hard to develop a vaccine. We really have no tools in our shed, with this. History has shown that fast and immediate closings of public places has helped in the past pandemics. Philadelphia and Baltimore were reluctant to close events in 1918 and they were the hardest hit in the US during the Spanish Flu. Factoid: Henry VIII stayed in his room and allowed no one near him, till the Black Plague passed...(honestly...I understand him so much better now). Just like us, he had no tools in his shed, except social isolation... And let me end by saying....right now it’s hitting older folks harder... but this genome is so slippery...if it mutates again (and it will). Who is to say, what it will do next. Be smart folks... acting like you’re unafraid is so not sexy right now. #flattenthecurve. Stay home folks... and share this to those that just are not catching on." Well said xx | |||

" Everyone should read this! Why is COVID-19 different from the flu ... this will help you understand the severity. Most informative description I have read so far! Shared by an NHS colleague to a Coronavirus Group, set up to share advice and support for NHS staff ???? Feeling confused as to why Coronavirus is a bigger deal than Seasonal flu? Here it is in a nutshell. I hope this helps. Feel free to share this to others who don’t understand... It has to do with RNA sequencing.... i.e. genetics. Seasonal flu is an “all human virus”. The DNA/RNA chains that make up the virus are recognized by the human immune system. This means that your body has some immunity to it before it comes around each year... you get immunity two ways...through exposure to a virus, or by getting a flu shot. Novel viruses, come from animals.... the WHO tracks novel viruses in animals, (sometimes for years watching for mutations). Usually these viruses only transfer from animal to animal (pigs in the case of H1N1) (birds in the case of the Spanish flu). But once, one of these animal viruses mutates, and starts to transfer from animals to humans... then it’s a problem, Why? Because we have no natural or acquired immunity.. the RNA sequencing of the genes inside the virus isn’t human, and the human immune system doesn’t recognize it so, we can’t fight it off. Now.... sometimes, the mutation only allows transfer from animal to human, for years it’s only transmission is from an infected animal to a human before it finally mutates so that it can now transfer human to human... once that happens we have a new contagion phase.

" CAN be is the operative part of that sentence. For most thank god it isn’t. So I wish people would stop trying to panic others. ..and you're right 'can be' is the operative part of the sentence but I don't know many people who are cavalier about their cancer diagnosis or recommended treatment plan." Who said I was being cavalier?? I’m doing exactly what I’ve been told to do right from the start. I actually turned down work next week at a different company because I felt it wasn’t worth the risk to my health as there are way too many people to come in contact with. But at the same time I’m not trying to panic people. A calm, sensible, measures response is not being cavalier. | |||

"About 20,000 die from the flu each year in Italy. They have the highest percentage of older people in Europe, even with this amount dying, they still have the oldest population in Europe. My worry is, all we are seeing is the surface structure, what’s behind it, what’s the reason for the hype? Economic experiment?" I think there's a lot of other things going on. | |||

"What always gets me is here we are with unanimous world wide medical and political opinion being that this is serious and that drastic measures are necessary, but randoms on a swingers site thing they know better... " Personally I'm only questioning. If it turns out all Corona deaths were on top of the normal expected figures then OK I've learnt something. But as an example the youngest UK victim, had been diagnosed 2 and a half years ago with MND and given 2 years to live. If we dont question the evidence we never know. PS I'm social distancing, not panic buying, and washing my hands more. I think I'm taking it seriously. | |||

" What always gets me is people deliberately berating people for NOT panicking or adhering ton their way of thinking. Worldwide medical opinion is - we don’t actually have all the facts and the modeling is all best guess. So maybe people need to stop trying to scaremonger???? Just an INDEPENDENT thought. | |||

"Has any one read the BBC head lines this morning (Saturday) Namely ......have the experts over egged .the numbers.... Worth a read I'm not underestimating the risks to the elderly but do we need to be a bit more realistic of the effects " Have you seen the interview where an Italian nurse says so many people are dying that they don't count the bodies any more? In Iran they are saying that many people are dying, but they don't have enough tests, so possible COVID-19 deaths are not being recorded as such? Would a lot of people have died anyway. Yes we are all going to die sometime. Whilst the press may depict people who succumb to the disease as clinging to lifesupport when they got infected, some are young otherwise healthy people struck down in their prime. | |||

Secondly, the UK is NOT testing everyone either so we have no way of knowing how many cases there are, or have been, or how many have recovered. So there goes another of your conspiracy theories. Stop quoting shite and scaremongering. Calm down. Have a cup of tea and breathe for gods sake. Just because you read something on social media or the internet does NOT MAKE IT TRUE | |||
