in regards to mortality. Yes a lot of people are going to get ill, some of them seriously and then some of them critically but the overwhelming majority will get over it.

A war veteran called in to the Jeremy Vine show to say that he survived the war, had had grenades thrown at him etc and that if he got it, he got it. She (in a nice way) told him that he must take this seriously and added that this is the worst pandemic ever for anyone under the age of 102, so I took this to mean that the Spanish flu epedemic was worse, but that this is right behind it in terms of seriousness.
It's been said that about 1/6 of elderly/disabled/ill people will die from this, so whilst what you say is correct, that's a hell of a lot of people and i'm not going to risk it. I'm not afraid of dying, but care about how I leave this Earth when the time comes for me to progress to the spirit world.

Oh no, they were previously said to be relatively safe. The situation seems to be changing by the hour!
