"COVID-19 is no more deadly than the typical nasty virus with a 1.8% death rate"
Most viruses with that kind of death rate are shockingly hard to pass on.
Coronavirus SARS-Cov19 passes on at least as easily as the common cold (being closely related to it), but the common cold has a death rate well below 0.01% and influenza is 0.1%
51,000 people died in the UK last year of influenza/pneumonia with that 0.1% death rate
That means 1.8% could be 1.2 million dead people. In a year
- and that's assuming 1.8% when it looks like it's actually significantly higher than that if you look at actual numbers of deaths in this period vs the 5 year average.
There are a lot of cases NOT being reported and a lot of "excess deaths" NOT being officially attributed to Covid19, but in the absence of secret undetectable assassination squads wandering around in the night it's a pretty good bet that it's the culprit.
You can't bury, store or cremate that many people at once. The systems aren't setup to cope with it, which is why ice rinks across the UK have been requisitioned to do duty as morques and bulldozers are digging mass graves (which are ALREADY being used)
Is it still a big joke?
