Shut downs not required, from the data in the UK, everyone has it pretty much already, just waiting 14days for the 1's that it'll affect to affect, 200-300% more than what's already gone to date, depending on the % which don't have symptoms. China daily data update soon, looking for 2nd spike data should come, up a tad 26th so like a lower figure to average out really. Didn't have to bankrupt country, but still did, hmmmm, earlier social distance about 2 weeks would of saved 1000's.
The deaths was never my point, it's the scare tactics and the 4.6% death rate BS and the 20year olds scared it's going to kill them. Looking at 0.05% so Flu x's 2 worst case on the figures. ( flu 17K, 0.024% UK ) There treating it like a plague, can't see relatives that have died, pretty damn sick. Bastards put all measures in too late, they want the deaths, but they also want to beat the estimates hugely, therefore they saved the day and everyone will let them get away with murder Also, they don't give a fuck about old people getting flu and dying, so why would they care, they don't, just after opinion points and more power
Again it was never the mortality rate but people are dying. it is how fast it spreads and how it can overwhelm the system. Also flu is easier to control. This is exponential
Flu is not controllable at all and the same pretty much, still kill the same way. They where scaring everyone with 4.6% which also hinders a lot of other things, BS is hated!!
Isnt this you saying how serious this is and you also saying how much bullshit it is people are getting scared... are you feeling okay?

Third, given governments’ adoption of social distancing, the dilemmas we face will continue until an effective anti-viral or therapeutic can be found that allows us to contract the disease without suffering significant harm. In the meantime, even if current efforts are successful at attenuating the spread of the disease over the next several weeks, social distancing will need to be re-imposed in cycles. Given the plausible timetable for developing a vaccine, and unless we get very lucky and the virus itself mutates in a less harmful direction, these cycles could continue for well more than a year. Fourth, a proper response to the Covid-19 crisis will stress test the increasingly popular proposition that government deficits don’t matter. This is a fiscal risk worth taking. Indeed, those who argue that the cost is too high or that a stunning increase in the deficit is too risky need to return to the first point above, because the budget impact reflects the economic consequences of social distancing. If you don’t like the fiscal cost but you favor social distancing, what you’re really saying is that you are willing to accept millions of bankruptcies and the ripping apart of corporate and social fabrics across the world. Fifth, the economic harm comes mostly from the sudden stop in business activity due to social distancing, not the lost productivity of those suffering or dying from Covid-19. The demographics of those suffering from coronavirus and those suffering from the economic virus are quite different.
>0 deaths = Serious, never said it wasn't. TV saying, Peak expected next Sunday then 14day lag period, might give them more time, I reckon before this so we'll see who's right, hopefully them. But it's a LONG LONG LONG way of 4.6% there spinning thankfully.
