I’m working today, I’ve a delivery to Soho London (someone’s CD collection to a specialist shop) do you think I’ll need a mask?

I was in London on Thursday, there were a few mask wearers... and 1 guy in a full on nuclear suit with gas mask. He was getting a few smirks... but maybe he’s the smart one<laugh>

The Chinese releasing it on purpose and playing it up as more serious than it is to get the protesters off the streets is becoming a stronger possibility by the day.
Wonder why the youngish healthy doctor in china who first identified the virus and raised it with the authorities and was ignored, sadly died of it.
 
Someone's bullshiting as well, numbers in Italy show a 5% death rate, much higher than they have been saying.

Italy has a massive % population over 70 years old (it's the Mediterranean diet). The average age of deaths in Italy due to Coronavirus is 81.

It's becoming apparent that the older you are then the more chance of this thing affecting you. If you are under 40 then it appears that you are of minimal risk. The numbers of deaths really starts to ramp up if you are over 50 AND have underlying medical issues already especially with the heart and lungs.

In China the % of deaths are as high as 15% in over 75's.
