Which certainly says to me that regular flu, does go unnoticed and doesn’t fill up hospitals. You explain to me How that statement doesn’t say that...........

He said if it was the same as regular flu it’d have gone unnoticed. Which, to any reasonable person, is to say that there would have been similar numbers to and impacts on healthcare provision as seasonal flu.
Everyone knows seasonal flu happens and it has some impact on healthcare provision. Indeed, capacity is to a greater or lesser extent built around winter flu season. If it was just a seasonal flu it’d have had a routine impact. “Unnoticed” I took to clearly mean for the average observer considering the ordinary impacts of these things on their day to day lives. I’m not sure the people in Wuhan “didn’t notice” the impact or Coronavirus. Or those in Northern Italy.
I’m not sure digging up scaremongering stories from tabloids overstating season flu is equivalent to Coronavirus. Indeed, the Daily Mail assures me each year that it will be the coldest winter on record, with the warmest heatwaves ever, the odd hurricane and 8 feet of snowfall each year. I’d not use them as a barometer.

You stated/implied that the flu goes by “unnoticed” in the UK. I simply proved that wasn’t the case. No more, no less - you may move on.

Ah, British exceptionalism is back! I’ve missed this theme in the coronavirus thread... we’re different because...
It turns out we don’t have a better healthcare system than China. Multi-generational households.
The floor is yours Pierre.
