O/T Coronavirus Thread (4)

Flu is actually killing more people than Covid-19 in England ATM.

But the media wants to keep the fearmongering going so instead concentrates on the "R rate" going up.

Fearmongering has a cost, children and young adults are committing suicide because they can't see futures for themselves.

You are right, Beijing flu killed 80,000 in the UK in 1968 and this was before globalisation, multiculturalism, and the ability to travel from one continent to another with ease.





It's all about perception. Under the media lens, stats, media saturation, it's quite easy to zoom in on a nasty virus and have the whole world in fear.


Do yourself a favour

switch off the media

and get your life back.

There is no doubt that the lockdown is killing people, IBS. The problem with your post is that it's impossible to say how many just as it impossible to say how many an uncontrolled spread of the virus would kill. It follows that it is impossible to make the comparison that you are making.

It's a gash situation. I wouldn't want to be the people making decisions. The only certainty is that they will be criticised from all sides.

Kind of agree Kerr. Shuddered to hear you use the word "gash" though. Bit like hearing your auntie shout "f@nny"🙂

GASH is the medical term for Gonorrhoea, AIDs, Syphilis and Herpes combined, doctors recommend dry toast ....it wont cure you but its the only thing that will fit under the door!

Goes into Wombwell shopping centre, shoppers in the Pound store, Fulton's freezer shop, & Wilco store in the main street, shoppers in all 3 stores not wearing masks, my wife spoke to a member of staff in the pound store regarding shoppers not wearing masks, the member of staff just put both arms out, saying she could not do anything.

Maybe more and more people are switching off the news and realising that the corona stats have been massively exaggerated?
