CORONA Virus. and why the PANIC Virus

SALUTE Cuba, they have allowed an infected ship to visit their island and keep their economy going.  This nonsense about a pandemic is a conspiracy from the insurance companies to avoid claims, and capitalist profit making organisation that rely on ignorance of most normal citizens.  The stats of Cuba infection rates will be critical in limiting more messing up by panicking   politicians, who are protecting themselves by saying their health systems don't have enough ventilators to meet the crisis.

    Thanks for the response Moshe.  There will always be the possibility of local outbreaks of the virus which is why everyone must be extra vigilant when nearer than a metre from another person. I went up to London today and the trains from Guildford was almost empty.  The carparks were less than 10% full when they used to be overfull. This means that people are not returning to work quickly enough and that is a serious threat to our economy.

    People are still too scared to travel and seem to ignore the fact that there is a far greater risk of having an traffic accident than being killed by covid 19 particularly if you are below retirement age. 

    Look at the facts only 10% of the 43,000 people that have died of the virus; that's just 64 per million people.

    Look at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/


    "Having a traffic accident" is a meaningless comparison.  Most accidents are low speed and result in nobody being killed.  The number of road deaths in the UK in the last 12 months was around 1870 (see https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/848485/road-casualties-year-ending-june-2019.pdf).

    Even if your made-up figure that only 10% of deaths were really from the virus, that's still rather more deaths in 6 months that normally happen on the roads in one year.


    You are doing nobody any favours by producing bogus statistics to try to show that this virus is nearly harmless.
