Re: Coronavirus
Absolute, complete overkill and sensationalism by the media on this.
The mortality rate is approximately 2% Interesting dashboard here from John Hopkins https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/a...23467b48e9ecf6 |

And whilst I don't have the exact figures to hand, I believe it to be something like 95% of deaths are not directly attributable to this strain of virus, it's due to complications of pre existing medical conditions. If that 95% is correct that would lead to a 45 deaths from 40,573 confirmed cases that would give a mortality rate of 0.110% not lmuch different to nfluenza ---------- Post added at 12:43 ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 ---------- Quote:

Even if the fatalities are not that high:
1) the NHS is incredibly over burdened at the moment 2) epidemics cause economic damage from mass sick leave 3) if the virus secures are permanent circulation this will be a yearly occurrence |

Re: Coronavirus
I know of 2 GP surgeries that have been shut (one due to the virus being detected in a staff member, one as a precaution). This is going to cause hardship.
