Re: Coronavirus

From public domain information, it seems to me that:

1 Deaths are reduced because treatments have improved

2 Deaths are reduced also because there are fewer hospital admissions

3 Hospital admissions are not rising in proportion to positive cases because it's younger people who are infected

- There is no evidence of a weaker strain
- Au contraire, the virus is out there for a second wave if we are not careful
- I believe older people to be vigilant & careful

Until the science can tell us whether antibodies provide sufficient protection and for how long, it's still a pretty dire picture.

Into the mix goes a Guvmin that is finding it difficult to balance the need for public health protection and economic health protection. Fr what my opinion is worth, the latter is more dangerous in the long run than the virus (but can't be sure till we know how antibodies behave).

On balance, Shit Creek awaits!
