This is ever so slightly more than seasonal flu which in its worst years, accounts for 10,000 deaths per year in the UK.

Exactly 100 years after the last pandemic... Spanish Flu, which killed 100 million world wide (mainly young people) here we are again.

Money and monetary loss are nothing to what is going to happen over the next few months.
1% die but 20% need hospitalisation and 5% need intensive care. If they don't get it then they too have a higher risk of death. Google how many intensive care beds we have and you will see why I am advising people to be cautious and keep their distance from others!
