[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 166329, member: 29302"] A top UK virologist said Covid 19 has not been over hyped by the media and they are expecting a huge increase in UK cases April/May. I'm not trying to scare monger but I've lived through and remember a lot of threatened pandemics that didn't really amount to a lot. This one has felt different from the beginning. For a start it is highly contagious. The problem is that although it only has a mortality rate of somewhere around 1 - 2.2%, should 1000's of people need hospital treatment for lung complications, the NHS won't cope and not everyone will be treated adequately. They only have so many intensive care beds and ventilators. Therefore, in those circumstances not everyone who could have survived will. At the moment, we are just in the very early stages in the Uk and we are going to see it get much, much worse. [/QUOTE]
