To poke fun at those that are stockpiling, one amusement arcade operator has replaced the toys etc in his grab machine with toilet rolls!

I received a text from my GP a few days ago about the jab. Not sure sitting in a waiting room full of sick people is a good idea.

So basically your confirming Flu is even more dangerous, yet no one panics every year like madmen.

The coronavirus causes the Covid-19 disease. In severe cases, patients have pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, and multiple organ failure that can lead to death.

The mortality and hospitalisation rates are huge in comparison.
