I’m pretty sure I had it. I travel every week on planes. A month ago out of the blue I felt like a truck hit me. Worst body ache. Headache from hell and I never get them and a weaving noise from my chest when I breathe. The doctor brushed it off as the flu and sent me home. A few days later I got better. All of my symptoms match with corona.
Same here, if the true rates were known the mortality rate would be much lower, most countries only test as a last resort after ruling out flu and other things, many people who have been tested after coming into contact with a known carrier are actually non symptomatic that would indicate theres many people walking around with it, no doubt it seems to have a high mortality rate with those over 70, but they also have a high mortality rate with the common flu as stand alone group.
The response is overkill as the potential liability both financial and political is to high, Europe in particular is a basket case for this epidemic with their aging populations, coupled with national health systems that cannot cope with large numbers of sick people at one time, if they slow the infection rate they might have better capacity to manage the ill, it makes sense, but so would a cull on bats as they are well know to carry many potential deadly diseases for humans. But we can't do that in todays basket case of a politically correct lefty world, or impose economic sanctions on China and the rest of Asia to raise their health standards so as to not repeat this disaster. It will happen again.
