The other major difference between flu and COVID-19 is that scientists have studied seasonal flu for decades. So, despite the danger of it, we know a lot about flu viruses and what to expect each season - however, very little is known about COVID-19, because it's so new; this means COVID-19 is something of a wild card in terms of how far it will spread, how it will mutate, and how many deaths it will cause.
On a related note, mum-in-law’s care home is now locked down - only visits being allowed are "end of life" visits. |
OK I should have rephrased it as it's
A flu.
The vast majority of people that get it will recover after a couple of weeks.
I'm not underplaying how ill people will get, some will get very ill but most will recover.
As far as I can ascertain, every death in the UK has had a contributing factor associated with it.
