Coronavirus

[phoenix555]

Italy has lockdown, but many people still wandering around and not listening, because they don’t take this thing seriously. Although shop closed, they still visit friend and relatives etc.

Do you know that 38% of the hospitalised people in US is age 20 to 54?
And of the death, 20% is age 20 to 54?

You can be die even without pre existing condition, 21 years old female in UK die of corona virus without pre existing condition last week, and the family is regret not take this thing seriously.

Italy has lockdown, but many people still wandering around and not listening, because they don’t take this thing seriously. .

People who don't buy into hysteria and think they are way clever than everyone else (like Dann and originalmj23 ) are the ones who are not listening.

Some are still comparing this to flu.

First of all, we haven't build immunity to coronavirus.

Unlike influenza, for which we have anti-viral medicines and vaccines, there are currently no licensed vaccines or drugs for COVID-19

For COVID-19 at the moment, the global case fatality rate is over 3 percent, although we think it’s probably closer to 1 per cent. At a rate of 1 per cent, COVID-19 would be about 10 times more deadly than seasonal flu, which is estimated to kill between 290,000 and 650,000 people globally every year.

COVID-19 is way more contagious. A person with flu will spread it to 1.3 people. A person with COVID-19 will spread it to 2 to 2.5.
That means the new coronavirus is about twice as contagious as influenza.

Plus, even if the virus effects 20% of the population, it will have major impact. Do we let the vulnerable, disabled, and the adults die because we, the younger ones, are fit and healthy to cope up with this?...How selfish can people get?...And we don't know how fit we are either. Only cocky people would take this lightly because they have a barometer of some kind to instantly tell them how fit they are.
