Just heard from a source who has access to the Cobra meetimngs ( Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms )

That the UK government is planning on 300k of deaths.

I'm sure that is the every worst model they are basing that on

For those that don't understand things like exponential growth, this is as dumbed down as it gets.
We had a family meeting the hours before Fukushimaa, 5pm pst March 10 2011.
At the time, my concern was nuclear, other family members, peak oil.
By pure...coincidence, Fukushima occurred hours later(or even at that moment); not even the manner in which I presented my case. Nonetheless...

We watched the original video referenced within this video 12 years ago regarding exponential growth/time to act(Yankee stadium) for family members that had trouble in mathematics & required video aid.

Some of these reactions are understandable, much of it pure hysteria. Meanwhile, the spread of the virus continues to slow.


More than 18,000 Americans have died from this season’s generic flu so far, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2018, the CDC estimated, there were 80,000 flu deaths. That’s against 19 coronavirus deaths so far, from about 470 cases.

Worldwide, there have been about 3,400 coronavirus deaths, out of about 100,000 identified cases. Flu, by comparison, grimly reaps about 291,000 to 646,000 annually.

China is the origin of the virus and still accounts for over 80 percent of cases and deaths. But its cases peaked and began declining more than a month ago, according to data presented by the Canadian epidemiologist who spearheaded the World Health Organization’s coronavirus mission to China. Fewer than 200 new cases are reported daily, down from a peak of 4,000.


Like the flu, the coronavirus is afflicting high-risk groups: the elderly, those with underlying health conditions like diabetes or heart disease and those with compromised immune systems. Are there exceptions? Sure. But that’s the case with almost every complex biological phenomenon of the kind.

More good news. This month, the Northern Hemisphere, which includes the countries with the most cases, starts heating up. Almost all respiratory viruses hate warm and moist weather. That’s why flu dies out in America every year by May at the latest and probably why Latin America has reported only 25 coronavirus cases. The Philippines, where I live, has about a third of the US population, but it’s so damned hot and humid here, so far we have had no confirmed cases of internal transmission.

Northern hemisphere will get a break from this in the summer. If it's endemic it'll come back hard in the winter. Vaccine before then? Doubtful.

Interestingly Spanish flu did the same but mutated by fall making it much more deadly
