The key to that statement is WITH the Corona virus not DUE TO or BECAUSE. The huge majority of deaths are of people with underlying health issues. Tell the truth, a common cold may well have killed them.

"Yep. They are taking quite serious steps to try and contain the spread.
Sounds very serious 133!"
I think it's important to keep a cool head. It is serious and the news reports coming from the hospitals in Italy look quite bad but remember most people who get it will have mild symptoms only. |

"Damn, and as of Jan 2020, 240+ have died of the regular flu. Shame."
What just in Italy or are you talking worldwide.
How many of them were in a 24hour period. |

Just in Italy.
Not 24 hours, but hell. Do you seriously believe the rates? I'ts not nearly as bad as bubonic plague. I think most of us will live.

I’m trying very hard not to panic. But actually i’m very worried about my mum who isn’t in the best of shape right now, and who has underlying health issues when she is in good shape.
Also, what if we have underlying health conditions that are as yet undiagnosed and so think we are going to be ok?
See. I feel in danger of becoming that hysterical woman in the film Airplane where everyone takes it in turns to slap her so she calms down. |

Did she get the general flu shot?
More to be worried about from that. |

Ugh! Death comes, doesn't matter how or even when. I don't particularly want to die yet... I don't really fancy the flu that much. I'll do what I can to prevent it but I am not going to stop living, just incase. If I get it, I get it. If I die, so be it. I am bored of hearing about how bad it is when people do things or ignore things that are way more dangerous. |

She did. She’s had her pneumonia shot a few years back too after she was Hospitalised with it. |

I'm feeling the same. My mum's just been discharged from hospital because of severe pneumonia, for the second time in a year. Doctors had told her she'll have about a three month recovery period so it's worrying that's she's so vulnerable. I'm not personally concerned about getting it as I'm healthy, but I don't like people being too flippant and risking others' health by not at least acknowledging there's a responsibility on us all to follow guidelines and try not contribute to it spreading to more at risk people. Not to panic, just to be aware that it's not about being scared of catching the sniffles but potentially contributing to spreading something to people who can't withstand it  |

I don't think there's any need to be overly concerned individually but I think we all need to be responsible and consider people who might be compromised if they get it. My parents are in their 90s both with underlying health conditions. I notice a huge and almost flippant lack of compassion in the attitude expressed by many that its OK because its only the elderly who die.
The other point that many are missing is that we're trying to slow the epidemic wave down to enable the NHS to cope with the increase in demand for critical beds *in addition * to those required for seasonal flu sufferers etc.

People dieing is shit yes, we all (well most) know that. But people need to stop focusing so much on it which is doing nobody any good. Do what you can to limit their expose to getting it. As I've said on other threads, I'm in the at risk catagory, taking precautions is nothing new.
Roughly in the time there have been 300-400 deaths (worldwide) there have been roughly 6000 recovered.
~109,840 total confirmed infected (since it started - probably more that have gone unrecorded or unnoticed)
~60,695 total recovered (that we know of, likely be many more)
~3,803 total confirmed deaths (maybe more but death count is more accurate).
Keep safe those with health issues and the elderly as much as you can but don't let the death count dominate the whole thing. |

This, if people act responsibly and try to limit exposure to more vulnerable people, and manage to do it in a calm and dignified manner, we will be able to slow down the spread and maybe eventually it will burn itself out as more of the population build up limited immunity against it. |
