WeChat. Whilst we have so much free scare mongering & misinformation it won't be long before our crazed population hurtle to hospital or their GP instead staying home & ringing 111.
 
WHO - suggesting the mortality rate is increasing to 3.4%

Would seem consistent with Italy where approx 2500 infections have left 79 dead.

But inconsistent with South Korea where 5621 cases have left 33 dead.
A rate of 0.6%.
Basically the overall death rate is not knowable at this stage.

Possibly partly at least due to demographics?
I know little about south korea but italy has a high proportion of old folk.

Its all stats and you can pull them most ways you want - it seems deadly in the over 80's - but Italy reported its youngest victim (51) yesterday - and a 61 YO with no health problems also died.

In other news, people are profiteering from alcoholic hand gels and face masks.

But there are cheap and available alternatives! Meths certainly, white spirit, surgical spirit, even screenwash will probably be as effective....

Does that mean the price of my favourite tipple will be rising?
