    I didn’t listen and am currently stuck 6000 miles away from my family and worth 70% of what I was 6 weeks ago.
    So that's a score draw for your family.

              Nature "designs" viruses to self propagate and not actually kill the host. Because if it does terminate the host it cannot be spread. Hence Ebola outbreaks die off once proper isolation systems are put in place.

              So the CoVID 19 virus version will by definition kill itself off. If it cannot spread it will die. If it cannot mutate so it doesn't kill the host it will also die.

              Once it's taken out all the already vulnerable people the rest will have antibodies, and just like the common cold every year the "Flu Jab" will carry some dead virus to allow us to build up antibodies.

              I still think the world is panicking over a bug that won't affect 99% of the population that has a good robust immune system. OK it will have a good go at taking out the already compromised population, drug takers who don't have any nasal hairs, people who take drugs that compromise their immune system, the old and sick, and the young and sick.

              But it isn't the "Spanish Flu" type of attack that will kill millions. It isn't the "Black Death" kind of attack. Just a mutant strain.

                      We're 2-3 months in, and so far we have had 9 cases in the UK, 8 of whom are now clear. All these cases had links to China/SE Asia.

                      At a 2% mortality rate, with shall we say 75m people in the whole UK, we'd only get 1.5 million deaths if EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the UK was infected.

                      Let's think about that again ..... in 2-3 months we have 9 cases. And yet you're suggesting in the next 10 months this will jump to THE WHOLE UK POPULATION of (no more than) 75m.

                      I say it again ... FFS
                      Remember the good old day’s when we had just 9 cases and idiots believed the government?
