    Less deadly than flu.......

    Will just mean expensive Beechams and cheap hols to Chile
    Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

    Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

              Confirmed cases: 32916
              Deaths: 282

              0.85% mortality at most (likely to be much more cases, but not deaths)

              Numbers from http://flutracker.rhizalabs.com/

                  Call it 1%. Sounds low doesn't it?

                  Pick a number from 1 to 100.

                    It's not random though is it?

                    If you're old or young, or immuno-suppressed your chances are a lot worse.

                    Similarly, if you're a healthy adult the chance of you dying is much less.
