the graph presented earlier in this thread flu deaths in NY run at 125+ a week 52 weeks a year. When you look at those sort of figures then it is hard not to wonder why flu is ignored (in context with the current situation) and why cv19 is being treated so extremely

Just as a reminder for onlookers. He's the graph:

It's blindingly obvious why cv19 is being treated so seriously.

But I guess it just goes to show that there are none so blind as fat fools who will not see.

Everyone in employment has, or should have, an National Insurance number which could be used to identify workers who have had CV19 and okay to return to work.
 
Covid19 has an estimated mortality rate or 1%, but puts a much larger number (19%) in hospital.

So for every 19 admissions with CV, 18 will survive if they receive appropriate treatment (in many cases, weeks of treatment).
But CV is overwhelming healthcare systems. Once the hospital beds are full, how many of those 18 will also die from lack of available treatment?


That's the key difference between CV and flu. Flu only stresses healthcare systems, it doesn't totally overwhelm them.
I thought the FLu v coronavirus debate was pretty much done. I don't know what more evidence people need tbh.

It's a great relief that yesterday's record not surpassed. Am I right in thinking Sunday figures have generally been lower throughout, or did I imagine that?

I am afraid the daily variation means very little - there is no way the exponential growth is going to stop any time soon, for the simple reason that people who died yesterday would have been infected two or three weeks ago on average, well before the change of isolation policy by the government, not to mention the current policy is far from strict:

What will further fuel the death rate is when we run out of spare ventilators, or staff who are adequately trained to sedate, inturbate and monitor them 24/7. Initial figures currently show of those who are put on ventilation roughly half make it, and half don't. If and when there is a shortage (probably over the next week), those who need one but can't have one will have little chance.

Or they even sure that having had corona also means imminutiy ? I have read much about it but also that they weren't sure if that would be the case with experiences in China of poeple getting infected again, but on the other hand information from China is just as good as no information considering their track record.

I think it is an silly debate Coronavirus is an Novel virus in other terms not seen before yet, as the flu is pretty known by now. So there not comparable by definition.

Unimpressive performance by the Channel 4 News hack who couldn't get Dr Jenny Harries' name correct when he asked a question in the live press conference just now.
