Your comparing the death total of a couple of months to a plague that lasted around several years. They did not have the medical knowledge, sanitary conditions, and communication access that we have now. Let Covid-19 run it's course unchecked like they did and you will see the same death totals that they did.
"The flu has caused more deaths than coronavirus" is a misleading statement. It's like saying the Lakers average 100 ppg with LeBron James averaging 35 ppg and his teammates combined average 65 ppg. If your the opposing coach who are you going to worry about, Lebron or his teammates? There are a millions of different strands of viruses that causes the flu but this particular strand is the one that is causing more problems than the other strands.

I think this is speculation, but it may be true.
Being a major world leader, they are going to take special precautions. I think that would mean moving him to the ICU before they would move most people (in case things really get bad).
The counterpoint to that is I would expect the British government to both downplay his condition, and delay informing the public of his condition.
This wouldn’t be secrecy for the sake of secrecy, but because there are important national security (and other) concerns here.
So I’d take any announcement with a grain of salt.
ETA: I’m sure that Tweet meant to say “intubated.”
I agree. I was picturing a Boris being incubated and thusly resulting in lots of little mussy haired Borises hatching out at the end .But that was a pretty funny typo!![]()
Walmart security guard in Sherbrooke run over by man frustrated by COVID-19 measures
The couple fled the scene and they were later found in a home in Sherbrooke. The driver was arrested and questioned.
He is facing charges of armed assault with a vehicle, aggravated assault and committing a hit-and-run, Carrier said.

Me too. His politics are about as far away from mine as they could be, but he’s done an amazing job since it became clear this was a serious issue - I am really scared he’ll die. A friend tells me the chances of anyone getting out of ICU are slim. She’s pulling up a graph of percentages so if I get it before I head to bed I’ll post it here. Meanwhile, oh gosh just thinking how his poor fiancée must be feeling.

Sky News Understands that the cabinet was informed of the Prime Minister's condition via video call and that the Prime Minister was not on a ventilator

Oh, my. My son works in a grocery store. They just gave him extra hours this week.Grocery workers are beginning to die of coronavirus (Washington Post)
Very interesting interview, using zinc with hydroxychloroquine and having some success. Would be good to know/understand how zinc helps, I know that it stops the COVID-19 virus from replicating.
Cardillo is the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, which has locations in Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys and Burbank.
He said he has found it only works if combined with zinc. The drug, he said, opens a channel for the zinc to enter the cell and block virus replication. ...."

I thank them each time and, as I can, I tip them. They deserve every bit of the former and much more of the latter.Oh, my. My son works in a grocery store. They just gave him extra hours this week.
I share your concerns. I also have crohns and the man I care for has cerebral palsy ( category 7 on the fraility score ) I can only pray that if and when any of us catch this, that the hospitals aren’t as swamped as they are now, so the doctors don’t have to decide which patients are more worthy of the ventilators.
We just need to keep ourselves as safe and isolated as possible for now.
Elderberry is what we take daily
As much as I dislike being the voice of doom and gloom (I do enjoy being up to no good however) I just had an arrhythmia & mild panic attack after ordering seeds from another vendor. I use Renee’s Garden in CA, Territorial in Oregon, Seed Savers’ Exchange In Midwest somewhere & now my go-to, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange from VA.
Yes they are experiencing shortages, but when Southern Exposure opened its website after shutting down for 2 weeks due to high volume I became a bit worried. I went to the on -line catalogue & then I panicked: no sweet potatoes, no potatoes, shortage of corn varieties. But that’s not the worrisome part: all of the materials needed to save seeds after harvest are sold out. Frames, threshers, packets, etc. so I made a massive order of everything I can grow here through fall-winter-spring. I will add to @southern Belle’s lovely signature in these harrowing times, if you can, plant a garden. Some people are taking this VERY seriously.
