Corona Virus

No
It's all the reverse. Lockdown hand cleaning, mask etc dropped the flu level at it's lowest level. Very logical indeed.

Just in case anyone would like to see a Covid vs Flu fight... the Lancet (again, I know) published this... Hubaxe will be especially interested...

The quick read...
In conclusion, significant differences exist between patients with COVID-19 and seasonal influenza requiring hospitalisation. SARS-CoV-2 appears to have a higher potential for respiratory pathogenicity, leading to more respiratory complications in patients with fewer comorbidities, and it is associated with a higher risk of mortality, particularly in adolescents, although any conclusions for this age group must be treated with caution considering the small number of deaths. These findings were confirmed even after we considered the constraints linked to the sudden influx of patients during the epidemic. In future, the possibility of overlapping influenza and COVID-19 epidemics will certainly also increase the complexity of patient management. At a time when no treatment has been shown to be effective for the COVID-19 clinical course, this study highlights the importance of all measures of physical prevention and the need for a specific vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 and treatment for COVID-19.

Yeah, COVID-19 is a type of corona virus, but it’s not the flu.
The flu is a corona virus but it’s not Covid

 

you lost me, I'm tempted to become a conspiracy theorist to see the life way simpler. I don't thank you..

 

Please UK friends.. you now have Brexit, can you keep you citizen infected with the mutant stuff in your own ski resort?

 

James influenza is NOT a coronavirus. According to CDC:

What is the difference between Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19? Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2), and flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses.

 

Doctors are stupid, no one is under respirator, and yes we know PCR test are inaccurate, but once the patient is ill from COVID, there are several signs that don't make it look like a flu.

Whatever,
My cousin,his wife and son all had Covid last month,with no serious effects. I saw them when they came over at Christmas and didn’t have any problem about being in contact with them.The vast and I do mean vast majority of people that catch this don’t die!That’s an irrefutable fact!
What’s more,when rna viruses mutate,they may become more infectious,but they also tend to become less virulent.
Therefore,I’m very much hoping that the new variant causes less problems than the last version.[/QUOTE]

 

And from that story up to "it's a flu"??

A bit inconsistent isn't it?

 

And they’re both rna viruses even though they’re different

 

Are you sure Tom? I thought 90% of the three of them were false positives.

 

yes... my bad! Flu is not a coronavirus by definition (I think figgy has pointed that out) it has the appearance of the “crown of thorns” that a corona virus has (and is named after). You are absolutely right about that and I humbly apologise.

your post #2811 seems to suggest that COVID-19 is of minimal threat to the vast majority who get it..? Ok, but what if lots and lots and lots of people get if? Maybe the death toll as a percentage of the people who have it appear low, but it is a significant and rising amount of “excess deaths” Please don’t mistake Covid as being insignificant

 

I didn’t say Covid was insignificant,I tried to explain that flu is and has been a major killer,in fact I had my jab yesterday.
When you take into account all the people flu has killed,Covid has a very long way to catch up.
Spanish flu killed many millions,it was far worse than this present Covid outbreak and sadly killed many more able bodied people than Covid.
Covid is a serious problem,but there are those who would have people believe that it’s far worse,whereas ,in the scheme of things,it isn’t.

 

Just don’t underestimate the virus... The worst mistake would be to have the chance to make a difference and through ignorance/poor judgement we end up killing more people than necessary. And yes, I know the same can be said of the economy... it’s a series of very difficult decisions and timing! That’s why we vote for people to make priority choices for us!

 

The economy can recover
Dead people can’t

Here’s the guy that co-wrote the standard virology textbook gently dismantling the UK/Vallance version of terrifying mutants. It’s normal and pretty insignificant including claims of dramatic increases in transmission.



SARS Cov2 virus
Covid 19 the disease it causes

 

Sorry couldn't find a pig.

 

Not bored, just reallyt interested in the differing views and comments. I will keep on reading.....
