Re: Coronavirus

The thing is in 2013-14 I assume 11,000 people died from flu across the entire winter. With Coronavirus that many have died in Italy in just four weeks.

If we don't get to that stage, and I pray we don't, it'll be because of the success of a significant amount of Government intervention around social distancing, working from home, closing businesses and investment in healthcare. Not because Coronavirus is "just a flu".

11,000 people die of flu when we do nothing, more will likely die in CV related circumstances despite throwing the kitchen sink at it.
