Corona Virus

I'm sorry but it's a joke, covid19 is only dangerous to those
over 70 or with underlying medical conditions, why are we as a
nation penalising the 99% because the 1% are at risk.
The media are having a field day with scare mongering and people
are getting whipped up into he's hestiria for little reason.
I have 2 people in my family who are classed at risk, guess
what, they weren't going to the rugby or the football or the
country music festival or the local theater!

So it's not even a confirmed case, maybe someone just coughed!
Seema fair to everyone who's booked train tickets and hotels
which aren't refundable!?

So if you went to the/a game and passed on the virus to your
vulnerable family member who then died , that would be ok? This
is the big problem. It won’t make you very ill but it’s who you
pass it on to.

It's a nasty version of flu, not the plague!
People are acting like it's the end of the world, it's only life
threatening to the very old or very sick/underlying medical
condition.
How far are you willing to go to protect the 1%? Forgo 2 weeks
wages for statory sick pay, miss your mortgage, lose your job,
lose your house?
You may think that's extreme to say so but the media have hyped
this up so much people are losing there jobs because people are
scared, no job, no money, no roof over your head!
They cancel rugby, football, music concerts and so on, people
lose their jobs. It's fact.
This scare mongering is going to cost more lives than the actual
virus as many people won't be able to afford to live and pay
tier bills.
You may be rich and privileged but many live month to month and
all this pandering and fear mongering is more dangerous than the
virus as it's going to push tens of thousands in to fiscal
hardship.

It’s not a nasty version of the flu
If you take 80000 at Twickenham around 8 people would die
From Corona virus 2000 die
I was going Sunday, but you have to think of people that will
take it home to their families etc
It’s a game of rugby at the end of the day and we my even have a
fit team by the time games re back on,

Currently the fatality rate is 1.3% yet the papers are banging
on about thousands dying.
QP is correct in the storiws that the papers are making thing
look worse just to sell papers.
Even SiB is quoting 2.5% which is almost d double the actual
rate.
Fake news and fear mongering by the media trying to sell more
papers.
Any how, me thinks this has well and truly gone OT.
Shame about the final and some wasted money, money can be
replaced life cant.
Grudgingly accept the need to postpone the match.

Globally, the fatality rate is 3.7%. That is just from confirmed
cases and not every country is testing huge numbers of people so
it could end up being closer to 5%, which is the fatality rate
in China. This is not about "fake news" or "people trying to
sell papers" this is about a GLOBAL virus that is killing
people, for which currently there is no cure.
I'm not saying you should be running out to the shops and taking
every last piece of food you can find, or lock yourself in a
room and wait for this to all blow over, but be sensible and
take it seriously.
Good source for current numbers:

(they are updating this every day or so with WHO being the main
source for numbers.)
