[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2289012, member: 140811"] Boris had the virus and he understands the illness. He described his own situation as being 'touch and go' after leaving hospital. Whether this was real or (as some seem to believe) an attempt to milk the sympathy vote, we will never know. It seems to suit some people's political agenda to discuss the pandemic in terms of a flu by using carefully selected data to justify their stance. Usually it amounts to nothing more than a casual look at the headline numbers and some rather blasé acceptance that up to 2% of the populace dying is somehow an acceptable price to pay for not having any restrictions on personal freedoms in place. In the news today is a story about 21 workers at steel plant in Mexico dying from Covid-19. In my living memory, there has not been a (seasonal) influenza outbreak that has killed so many working age people. [/QUOTE]
