Firstly we don’t know the true death rate-yet.
Secondly- the Virus doesn’t seem to differentiate....The whistle blower doctor that died was 34...I read about a 55 year old fitness instructor who passed too.
Life’s lottery?

Here’s a couple of analogies for you fellas. Many of us are around the same age.
When I was younger I was under the impression (through sex education) that If i went near a lovely lady and had sex, there would 100% certainly be offspring. (Probably standing within 3 feeet would have had the same effect
)
I used protection.
When HIV came around 25-30 years ago, know one knew who had it but I was responsible and when I could get custom made xxxxl condoms to fit I would indulge - with protection.
Think of this Virus like that.
The worst that can happen is you lot that I’ve never met will slag me off. I hope so.
On the other hand - you might err on the side of Caution.

JonW is into that Japanese whisky. Bit too close to China for my liking, to be fair it’s blended near Fukushima and glows in the dark so it keeps his lighting costs down.

Let’s be absolutely clear, I think it is a good idea that you are taking precautions (of any sort). I am not on board with the conspiracy theories - last week it was that CV was a bio weapon. It is, in my view, unhelpful.

Well that’s not strictly correct.
I quoted a post on the 1 Feb that suggested the following
With what I read, I thought the post was a blasé comment and therefore unhelpful.
To suggest something wasn’t dangerous, imo was inaccurate. From what I’d read, my view was it clearly was dangerous. (Indeed suggestions it couldnt be spread by sneezing etc were subsequently inaccurate)
That initial concern prompted some private pms between forum members, whom I respect and who have more experience and knowledge of such viruses than I do. That said, i’m My own man and I make my own mind up.
14000 cases then, 43000 cases now...if the data is correct! Uk infiltration....warnings from the WHO, warnings of seriousness from UK Govt.
Others maybe correct and I hope they are, till then I’ll wear a condom.
The scientific data isn’t helping their point. This is a clearly a dangerous virus that isn’t contained and it’s killing more and more that we know of!
Oh and by the way, no-one in 11 days hasn’t proved it’s not an escaped bio-weapon, maybe that’s why 400,000,000 are locked down for 1000 deaths.
China silent amid growing doubts over coronavirus origins
China’s government stood silent Monday in the face of growing scientific reports that the source of the deadly Wuhan virus outbreak did not originate solely from a seafood market in the city.

Or to look on the bright side Wattie your stats show that every passing day the percentage increase is decreasing.
The "experts" last week were saying the opposite would happen.
I am not going to guzzle expensive malts for this. Old Inverness will do the trick just fine. ;-)

Needamser, you just keep drinking. I suggest you read why it’s decreasing.

In 14 days no one has proved it isn’t a bio-weapon? It’s difficult to disprove something that is a figment of someone’s imagination.
CV is dangerous. So are buses, aeroplanes, cars, crossing the road, using the stairs. Breathing.
I am, as I said, fully behind appropriate precautions, but the mortality rate, which may or may not be under reported, is currently not rising at anything like the rate that has been suggested. The “superspreader” that has been reported in the U.K. has made a full recovery, without medical intervention as I understand it.
I will continue to wash my hands, cover my nose and mouth when I sneeze and look both ways when crossing the road. And I will hope I don’t get CV or get hit by a bus. I am pretty sure you will be fine too as you have the masks and goggles.

Think of this Virus like that.
In 2012, 91.9 million DALYs (Disability adjusted life years) were lost worldwide because of HIV/AIDS, second only to diarrhea in terms of morbidity from infectious disease and seventh overall
Souce: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK525184/
It would have been a lot worse in your day.
Hardly equivalent (although there are no direct stats for DALYs for nCOV (yet)

Well at least u admit CV is dangerous.
That wasn’t the op view.
I don’t expect anyone to confirm it was - in so much as I don’t expect central banks to confirm theyre maintaining a Ponzi scheme.
That’s indisputible and there are numerous knowledgeable individuals here that know as such, that won’t say.
I believe you’re naive on mortality rates, let’s leave it at that.
The fact the superspreader is alive doesn’t interest me at all. He may have infected others that may die.
Best to you to.

Excellent, I suggest you go and tell 400,000,000 Chinese that they’re being locked down for a little more than nothing.
While you’re at it, tell everyone else globally the same message....those on holiday In the cruise ships too.... the Uk health service etc.
If you’re lucky you can catch India before it’s in the thousands.
Good luck and good night fellas.
I’ve got some sleep to catch up on and I’ve lost too much already over this.
Whatever it is, it’s disruptive, it’s destructive, it’s dividing and it’s potentially a killer.

Reporting not needed Phil...You are just pointing out that not all Corona is bad for your health. Sounds like a very good public announcement service to me buddy.
