Really odd you’d group over 65s with over 80s too as that’s the age the big jump comes in .... unless you have a fear mongering agenda

death makes a fine headline, but but it's the possible side-effects of catching it & surviving this senior worries about. death would be fine.

Most pussified virus of all time

I think this has been reiterated many times before.... 😒 🙄

So 1 in 20 and they will be over 85 also.. it's called old age

If the have two or more comorbidities

My sister and husband were fine.

It seems authorities can’t even add up properly so I’m going to say their grasp of percentages is fkn useless too.

What’s the risk to the flu?

Not bad 'A lot of the deaths in Geneva happened in long-term care facilities, according to Andrew Azman from the research team. ..this may have had an influence over estimates of age-specific death risk and so the data used in the study may not be representative of the wider population' These are the people who populate elementary schools? This is why schools are closed?
