I'm not in any way attempting to downplay the seriousness of this pandemic, but how would "conventional" flu stack up in your assessment above? It kills, on average, 17,000 UK inhabitants a year. Some people get a sniffle, some people die. Some people get it and never know. Is there a fundamental difference between it and Corona virus?

Interestingly we don’t test people for flu per se but we do vaccinate.

Whilst we don’t always know which strain the dominant flu season will be, in the last two years has seen us move to a quadrivalent vaccine covering the four main strains and for over 65s we now have the a-Tiv (the adjuvanted vaccine). These have proved to be effective in reducing the flu victims each year But still, anywhere between 2 & 30,000 deaths a year is still high.

Hope he’s ok. But we can now expect the BS about him still taking daily briefings to stop.
He will be out of action for a couple of weeks in remission even if he recovers quickly.

Italy's deaths go back up again today (in reality who knows, just all sorts of errors and variations). 18th straight day of new deaths 500 or more. 17 out of the last 18 days with deaths 600 or more.

The post you dismissed was specifically discussing deaths.
