    First death in UK:

    Coronavirus: health authorities confirm first UK death – latest updates | World news | The Guardian

    An elderly patient from Berkshire with existing health conditions. Not PhilTheGreek, surely...?

      Just in case you wanted some graphs etc to compare with.
      Remember there was zero hyperbole for last years deaths.

              Can we get JTB and Mb31 back as statically specking a few forums members will snuff it due to coronavirus and they are really old thus if they snuff it less chance we will surly ????

                  I'm nearly 60. If I catch the virus, I know I'm at much greater risk of dying than young people but that seems fair to me. I've already enjoyed a full life.

                  If a virus causes fatalities, better it kills the elderly than the young (IMO).

                      Old enough that he can stop worrying about assassination now.

                      It's going to be an inneresting election year, I wonder if any of the equally ancient candidates will make it to the finishing line.
                      When the fun stops, STOP.
