Germany has 16'000 diagnoses cases (which is up there) with only 44 dead. We really can't focus on one country or one icu. It got out of hand in Italy before they knew what was what. If I'm not mistaken we were experiencing cases of it in the single figures at the same time they were but it exploded there and simmered for a bit here before now kicking off a bit. Every country is different. That’s basically the issue that we are trying to avoid - most folk who get it will be fine, but a bunch won’t. If we all get it at same time we overload our limited ICU units and more people die than need to. My earlier comments around dumb folk was mainly about the people saying ‘it’s just a flu, get over it, go to work, go down the pub, f**k em’ - an opinion based upon diddly squat. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, agree with all that. Comparisons to the flu can be valid for perspective but can also be plainly false. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
