Nice graphs. Have you got one which shows how many European countries were completely quarantined during Ebola etc? Or is that a lie and all is fine in Italy?

Covid-19 - worldwide deaths, 4,267. Covid-19 mentions in the media, 1.1 billion.
Or 1 Covid-19 death = 257,000 mentions in the media.
That's just it. Some of those who have tested positive for it liken it to a mild cold. I have mild cold like symptoms, maybe I have it. If I do, then I am about to make a full recovery but I won't be in the stats. Nor will your lad. People are reading far too much into the stats.
All I have been doing is using tissues and washing my hands if I sneeze or cough. I've also slept in a separate bed to my boyfriend. It's all about not spreading illness and I am not behaving any differently to any other time I have a cold. And, if I do get Coronavirus, I'll do it all again.
The point I'm trying to make is that although some people like to put graphics up saying comparing it to other diseases which weren't reported in the same way, the fact remains that countries across the world are taking unprecedented steps to combat it which suggests that isn't the media lie that they suggest.
Yes, guy from school on Facebook who never left my home town, congratulations on sharing the fact that you know that flu currently kills a lot more than the coronavirus. I'm going to take more notice of the actions of governments advised by medical experts though ta
OK, fair enough and I agree that it is pointless comparing this with cancer and diabetes as some are doing.
However, I also agree that the news outlets are not giving out many facts other than number of cases, number of deaths. Number of recoveries is also important.
Also, I'd like to hear more from those that have recovered. Were they very sick, were they not sick at all?
And, I'd like to know more about the cases in Italy, are people's symptoms getting worse - i.e. is the illness mutating. The death rate in Italy is 39% of closed cases, worldwide that is 6% but that is factoring in the Chinese lies, Iranian lies. South Korea is 19%. UK is 25% at the moment. But, is that because we don't consider a person recovered until they test negative etc, or is it because there is something else going on?
Once I get all these sorts of facts, I can make a decision about whether or not this is something I need to lose sleep over.
I also think some countries should be left off these stats because their accuracy is in question.
9 more cases in Wales, most linked to a Port Talbot case. 15 cases in Wales, population 3,139,000.
Yes, in short. Why should the action of a single Government make me more or less worried than the actual stats.
For example, someone who tested positive said it was like a cold, another like the flu. The question, why is the death rate so high in Italy is a valid one. Are significantly more older people getting the disease there for example. I could run out and buy loads of loo roll and pasta.
Health service is crippled by it by the sounds of it. I'm not worried for myself but both my parents are both in the high risk category for various reasons. There hasn't really been any specific advice for more at risk people, it's almost like the government wants them to die off.
Apparantly this virus has a fatty substance.Washing hands with washing up liquid is just as good as soap.Fairy is probably the best because it lasts longer and you can make a rocket out of the bottle.
You've made the fatal mistake of thinking that governments actually care about its citizens. They only do just enough to keep you paying your taxes and ensuring that you are economically productive. If you want to blame anybody, then blame the people who keep on voting for the same two parties!
