Looks like (extremely, almost nonexistent) reporting of recoveries.

Just to put deaths in some kind of perspective 9.6 million people died of cancer world wide in 2018 .

Depends on if you get hospital treatment. If you die on ventilator you most likely won't even know anything about it. If you can't access treatment/sedation I imagine it's not the most pleasant (breathing difficulties) but that said, respiratory and cardiovascular failure is one of the most common causes of "old age" death and always has been, so not really any different a death than a lot of people get.

I suppose the harsh truth is, unless you're under sedation there aren't many comfortable deaths. The image we like to have of old people slipping away in their sleep is sadly not that common. Both of my parents worked in elderly care (my mum was a ward sister in a private care home, my dad was a specialist dementia nurse) and weren't shy about telling me that most people aren't that lucky. When my own mum died she was filled to the eyeballs with morphine and sedation, which I'm quite thankful for.

So I guess the answer is, if you're sedated on ventilator it's a better death than most.

Sorry for the grim post :umm2:.

It doesn't put anything in perspective. .but just so you have some perspective we knew cancer existed, untill 6 weeks ago we didn't know this existed.

World health Organisation estimates 137,000 people die world wide from snake bites each year but the figures could be higher.

You didn’t know the thousands being killed by flu each year.

It’s just something else to kill humans.

Good job I'm isolating from cancer then. :fc:

It won’t help you, we are all born with cancer cells And if they mutat then you get cancer.

Someone needs to cobble together Tibb's guide to health and the human body. A rollicking parody of made up nonsense.

Cancer is a mutation of normal cells. Obviously, everyone is born with normal cells. The risk of mutation increases with age, and from exposure to radiation or carcinogens,but can also happen more or less at random. There's a genetic element to the risk of SOME cancers.

You are not born with specific cancer cells waiting to pop.

Interestingly though, cancer stats in humans are "artificially" higher than in most other species, because humans have a natural lifespan of 40-60 years. For 99% of human evolution you had absolutely no chance of reaching 60+, when most cancers occur. Cells start mutating at an increasing pace the further you get past 60 because in the natural world you'd be long dead... :umm2:.

Of course I was aware that flu kills.. lots of things kill but this is a new thing, you can't expect people and governments not to act and react?
It's a nightmare scenario like an invisible monster just snatching your nana out of her chair! We have to do all we can to trap it and contain it.

That's not true though. No one is born with "cancer cells" unless you are unlucky enough to be born with cancer (not even sure if that's possible but I assume it is). Cells turn cancerous, they are not cancer cells.

It's possible, but totally unverified. They can't possibly know he had it because there was no test for it; it's possible that he did have flu followed by post-viral pneumonia. They've decided he might have had it based on the symptoms he had, not from a verified test.

However there is a semi-conspiracy that it existed in China months before the supposed initial outbreak. But its entirely anecdotal, there's no hard evidence of it.

No Trump is the Legit President
even today


Can they have a Election in November?

Teenagers are dying now ... all with no underlying health issues !!

Even more worrying is that I’ve just heard a top medical bod speaking on LBC radio saying that it’s crucial that we all understand that even when you’ve HAD it ( and survived ) then there is not one thread of evidence to guarantee that you are safe from getting it AGAIN !!
You MAY be immune , you may get another mild dose or you may GET really , really poorly (and even die !)

... we just don’t know for sure yet !!

Of course a very young 13 year old
mat not be strong enough , yet.

It's not a shock to me

Thanks, that's a weight off my mind.

2 days ago

So LBC a few days ago apparently reported that you can't get cold flu in summer so if you're ill in April it must be Covid (a flat out lie), and is row reporting that there's no evidence of immunity in recovered patients (also totally false)? I think they're fudging their reporting to keep people from breaking lockdown, if I'm being totally honest.

There's no such thing as 100% immunity from any disease. It's exceptionally rare to catch chicken pox twice - but not impossible. It's rare to get measles after being infected or vaccinated - but not impossible (in fact 3 in every 100 are not immune after vaccination). That's the same with this but "some people get it twice" isn't "not a thread of evidence that you get immunity". There are over 100,000 recovered now and absolutely tonnes of evidence - both anecdotal and medical - that recovered patients have a level of immunity. There's a possibility if it becomes "seasonal" that you could get it again the next time it emerges, but that has nothing to do with the current outbreak.

I've never listened to LBC but I've now heard multiple examples of them reporting some really dubious stuff that doesn't reflect the actual, reputable and extremely reliable work being done by universities and researchers. Not sure what's going on there.

In terms of teenage deaths, this isn't a new revelation, we've known since mid February from data in China that the only "seems almost totally safe" age bracket is 0-9. The risk of death at 10-19 is VERY, VERY SMALL but it isn't zero so as the total number of deaths increases, sadly, yes we are going to see a very small number of people in that age category dying. It doesn't mean something has changed and we're suddenly going to see huge numbers. It just means that the risk isn't zero - which we already knew.

Also be wary if reporting "died of Covid with no underlying health conditions". Autopsies have not been done so we have no idea of the cause of death, OR if there was an underlying health condition. Twice in the last week we've had front-page reports of young people dying and it's later emerged that they didn't even die of Covid. And on several occasions its been discovered that people with no recorded health problems did in fact have a health condition.

It MAY be that this tragic example is exactly as reported, because as I said, although the risk is very, very low it isn't zero, so as more people become infected these very rare examples will start to emerge. There are, in theory, potentially hundreds of thousands of cases in the UK at this point (and some suggest more).

" LBC a few days ago apparently reported"


No thats just some caller
NOT LBC

LT told me it was a doctor who was "adamant about the science" of not being able to get a cold in summer. It certainly makes more sense if it was just a caller pretending to be a doctor because it's an utterly ludicrous claim.

If a NHS caller speaks Live to the Press
they are told they will be Fired.
