First off, you cannot compare todays medical advances to 1918 and 1968. It is quite likely that those people died BECAUSE of the state of the medical they had in those days.
You are all wrong to belittle this virus, comparing it to the common flu and such like. I have had the flu numerous time in my life, never did I think I was going to die, I didn't need the kind of social distancing, or had to keep away from my family members.
My niece and her husband (UK based) contract the virus, they were both admitted to hospital. My niece, recovered, but her husband was on a ventilator, 2 weeks in a coma and died. He was 51 with NO underlying health conditions.
Having just survived it recently (was in hospital 8 days) I can tell you it is Fkn scary, the guy in the next room never made it. You do not know how it will affect you, each person is different.
If you have the balls and want to stand by your ideas about this, I dare you, anyone of you, since you think it is just a common flu, go get infected, or get you nearest and dearest infected and go to hospital. Let us see if you make it out!
So stop the F*cking BS you are spouting, people need to take this seriously but you MFs are making out it is nothing to worry about. Go on, I dare you, either put up or STFU.
I'm with you on this B25. I think it's scary as well. I don't believe we have seen a Virus like this one either.
I also don't believe countries would have shut down their economies unless there was a real need to.
I actually believe that if a vaccine isn't found in 18 months, then the only way out will be herd immunity and I also believe this Virus has the potential to kill more people than both WW1 and WW2 combined - 100 million people.
And that's going to be devastating for the world.
The only reason why only just 150K people have died is because we are only in the beginning of it.
I'm glad you got out of it and survived. You never know which way it will go. I'm certainly not brave enough to want to catch it.
