It's a flu. Lots of people will get it, some will die. No different to many times before. Some years the flu kills more than others.

but it's not a flu

Yeah no **** sherlock, i was saying if you highlighted every single case and death of it, it would look even more dramatic than Convid-19 the point was the media coverage is making it really dramatic.

The spanish flu was a flu. It killed 20 to 50 million. No big deal...

Lads give over. Folks are taking an interest. Nobody scaremongering. It’s information. People are tracking it it’s an unprecedented event. It’s news.

Sure what would you know anyway?

You have not spoken to the HSE.:D

I think you might have better luck waiting for ET to phone home.

I hope everything works out for you.

80,000 infected across the world/
Population of China is 1,400,000,000.
Population of the World is 7,700,000,000

I think we'll be okay. Yes it seems to have a slightly higher death rate than the Flu but people freaking out about is mad. The media are absolutely loving this.

Wish now I got into the hand sanitizer business so gullible fools will buy it at ten times the cost.

Interesting that a man in Surrey in the UK has tested positive for Covid-19 having NOT been outside the country.
He appears to be a publican.
His pub and the health Centre he presented himself at are being “deep cleaned”.
It’s a boom time for the deep cleaning companies. Can you imagine?

Do you have the statistics for the standard Flu? Pretty similar I would imagine.

You're right, it's closer to the common cold than a flu, but carry on.

Cases are not deaths.

And the Iranians must surely be grossly underestimating their number of cases...
