People don’t care about sport anymore. The sporting analogies would have been appropriate a fortnight ago, now they aren’t.

Tell that to a Liverpool or Celtic supporter !

I thought this hit the nail.

'As things stand, the Johnson Government is like a doctor, confronted with a patient suffering from pneumonia. ‘This is serious,’ says the doctor. ‘I have never seen anything like this. Unless I act radically, you will die terribly.’

He then proposes to treat the pneumonia by amputating the patient’s left leg, saying this method has been used successfully in China. The trusting patient agrees. The patient eventually recovers from pneumonia, as he would have done anyway. The doctor proclaims that his treatment, though undoubtedly painful and radical, was a great success. But the patient now has only one leg, and a very large hospital bill which he cannot afford to pay.'

How many people have died with Coronavirus, but not because of it?

There is a big difference between Coronavirus causing death, and Coronavirus being found in someone who died of other causes.

Carlos, pull your finger out pal and merge this into the CV thread. Don’t really really need duplicate shite like this.

Rub yer eyes, Mr. L.

The first word is NOT.....not NOW.

Or a Baggies or Leeds fan.

This is well-observed

A lot of Liverpool fans I know are far more concerned about the threat that COVID-19 has to life. You really need to stop living your life artificially to what TS tells you to believe. It’s not real life.

Please Hillman, tell me what to think. You seem to think no one can without being told what to by some Eurocrat.

Maybe, Del. The deputy Chief Medical Office said today in a couple of weeks we will see if lockdown has made any difference in cases due to the lag in becoming symptomatic. Then it will still be monitor and not go back to normal for a long while. But some idiots will.

Bottom line is, - in hindsight, will 2020 prove to have a higher fatality rate than the norm, or not?

Yes. But negative results to the few people I have met who have been tested, And that was before any PPE wearing. Not in a ward, though might happen soon, but not general. Quite lucky compared to many.
