“...The casualty rate is higher when they clear out the Kilburn High Road pubs on Saturday night.”
I guess I’ll have to take your word on that.

WW1 started with just two deaths.
Of course, in both cases (WWI as well as hurricanes) there are contributing factors to be considered. But let's just say that things can, and do, escalate quickly from a minor event, given the right conditions.

I read that it's expected to peak at Easter, which is in 4-5 weeks.
I would be interested to see how many people get bog standard no-fancy-name influenza and die each year.

The issue with COVID-19 is that there's a lot of unknowns.

While the comment of the casualty rate being higher when they clear out the Kilburn High Road pubs on Saturday night is quite hilarious (we have a similar stretch of bars down the Jersey shore!), I'm willing to bet that its a pretty big deal to the families of the two dead and to all 164 that are infected. That number is sure to double soon. At least.

Aren't people dying from other things? It is a f<>king flu bug for f<>ks sake! People die from other influenza's and pneumonias too. Just rack off with all the scare mongering! "Rack" off?

As of today (06/05) 29,427 deaths and 194,990 cases. That's official figures by the way, it's likely much higher with all of the elderly dying in care homes.

Wow, looks like the disease-carrying Chinese moles haven't been operating much in the U.K. yet. We’ve just passed 30,000 deaths. Largest death toll in Europe. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52564183

This thread aged like fine wine. Or a rotting corpse. You choose.

Sorry, I thought that was the case. The OP is two months old. I should have double checked. At this point only two deaths would have been impossible. I don’t think he was being that serious but there were (and still are) many people who think that way. Personally I’m not scared but there are members of my family who are more at risk and they’re not all old or infirm.

The problem with this " f<>king flu bug" is the fact that it's constantly mutating, making it even more difficult to come up with an effective vaccine (nothing new there, though). And, just like The Spanish flu in 1918, that ended up killing anywhere from 50-100 million people (close to 5% of the World's TOTAL population at that time!), it was the SECOND wave that was BY FAR the most deadly......something they've warned could happen again today, if we rush getting back to "business as usual" too soon. Should THAT (a second wave) happen, it could make the confirmed cases and death tolls caused by this virus in the first wave (listed on the above website) look (somewhat) minuscule, in comparison....  And btw, that is NOT "scare mongering".....that's just the COLD, HARD FACTS !! SAVE FERRIS

SAVE FERRIS The documentary I watched recently on the Spanish Flu was frightening for the reason you mention, the second wave which proved deadlier. The rush to "get back to normal" worries me greatly. The virus is still out there, there's no vaccine, no antibody test and plenty of asymptomatic spreaders.

It's a well know fact if you drink (or inject) disinfectant you'll be perfectly safe from this "virus". It hasn't went all to pot quite yet. Hang in there...
