[QUOTE="Yoshimitsu, post: 990671, member: 71899"] I'm uncomfortable with this narrative. In the U.K the average mortality rate of seasonal influenza is approximately 0.1%. This virus seems to around 1% with an upper estimate of 3%. Seasonal flu in the U.K has killed an average of 17,000 people per year (public health England). The chief medical officer (Chris Whitty) of the U.K believes that 80% of the U.K population could be infected and 1% of those could die. That's about 650,000 individuals or 38 and a half years worth of "normal" flu deaths. And of course people aren't going to stop dying of TB and flu either. On edit bad maths need correcting.... Originally forgot to deal with the 80%. So allowing for 60 million population that's 48,000,000 infected 480,000 dead which equates to 28.23 years worth of seasonal flu deaths [/QUOTE]
