This Coronavirus Is Unlike Anything in Our Lifetime, and We Have

This is far deadlier than the flu.
As Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and others have said, COVID-19
is deadlier than the flu. It’s deadlier for young adults. It’s
deadlier for older adults. In China, early data shows that it
was 10 times deadlier. This chart from Business Insider compares
U.S. flu deaths to deaths in China from COVID-19.

From what I understand, we all need to catch it to become immune
to stop future outbreaks. Most of us will not be badly affected,
it’s the vulnerable we must protect until a vaccine is found.
Until then a slow controlled spread so that infrastructure can
cope is what we need. Unfortunately there are a lot of corporal
Jones’ around.

This thread has an unprecedented amount of bluster and
ignorance, even for this board

I think it only reflects the general ignorance of us all about a
pandemic which only a tiny number of people anticipated and for
which nobody fully prepared.

[/quote] If anything it demonstrates some people's willingness
to post with great confidence and authority about something they
know nothing about. Hmmm.
I wonder if anyone who downplayed this at the start of the
thread has reconsidered whether the source of their information
is/was reliable?

I've just had a look and all of SwindonQuin's post are frankly
unbelievable. Mind you, I think most of us thought that at the
time. :)
