Going into our flu season "June to Sept" I would be surprised if its less than the spanish flu. 15,000 from a population of 5 million. These are going to be big numbers and I fear I'm likely to be one of them.
Information is coming out that in Europe there are a great deal of young people getting it as well. It’s in its infancy and the word is it’s 10-20 times worse than the flu. As I said in another thread it’s going to make the GFC look like a fun day out.
The exponential nature of it is about to shock the world. Borders closed quarantine and masks everywhere is what is/was needed. Strict conditions. Been following it closely from day dot.
