I had a cold/flu like bout just after Christmas coming off a cruise. Pretty typical stuff from such an environment of 1000s of people in one confined place. No issues.
A sore throat for 24 hrs, dry tickly cough for the following 1-2 weeks and so on. Probably had a raised temperature too and fast heart beat.
All very much par for the course with such bugs.
Of course I didn't feel the need to report this to anyone. I never do. I don't go rushing to my local GP when I get cold/flu like symptoms.
And neither do millions of other people.
So let's be truthful here. The actual number of cases of Coronavirus is very likely many many thousands more than are being stated because the only cases being stated are those that have been reported, where people went to their GP.
So the Case Fatality Rate of 2% is likely massively high and thus our chances of dying from this virus are likely much much smaller than 2%. But of course such truths don't make for good sensationalist TV and don't support a deliberate media Campaign of Fear which will (I guarantee) lead to the sale of a $billion Coronavirus vaccine (which I have no doubt already exists)
We can expect in the coming months for them to suddenly say that they have magically rushed a vaccine through all the testing cycles that normally take an age and that people can trot off for their Coronavirus shot.
Same old same old.
Campaign of fear to sell pills, potions and vaccines.
But naïve people still fall for it so that business model will continue.
