Could be something in that oxford study . It just seems so disproportionate the amount of public eye people who have tested positive, aul Charlie across the water has it now I read

If the Oxford survey is correct, then surely hospitals would have been overrun in January or earlier, and we would have heard of a bad flu going round where young people were struggling to breathe without oxygen?

Also if this was in England for months, why is England not in a similar situation to Italy or Spain at this stage?

Regarding old people, I guess it is the same reason why people aren't requiring hospital intervention for the flu. They recover from it.  Although I am a fan of preventing the spread to old people, when they get it, it doesn't automatically mean they will need hospital intervention.

The death rates amongst the elderly population are high in China due to numerous factors such as smoking, bad hygeine, pollution etc. In Italy they have a high percentage of elderly people and people are more likely to go about their daily lives and mix with people. In England and Ireland people are more likely to stay in around January. Then of course you have healthcare professionals who were not even aware of the virus and put it down to flu and when and where people need intervention then they got it (young or old). As we now know about the virus more people are going to be diagnosed and the lack of treatment options may mean patients have to be kept in hospital

The death toll in Spain has overtaken China now. 738 confirmed in the last 24 hours.

Spain may turn out to be the worst.

Spain has announced it is buying €432m of medical equipment from China as it tries to contend with a surge in hospitalisations caused by the coronavirus, which has killed more than 700 people in the country in the last 24 hours. Salvador Illa, health minister, said the purchase included more than 550m masks, for both health professionals and patients, 5.5m tests and 950 respirators.

china profiting from the virus selling medical supplies all over the world , 1.3 billion people in China and they have less dead than Spain? Something fishy there either they are lying or something more sinister, countries will have to learn to be self reliant in the future is the lesson to be learned from this .
