Coronavirus UK: It's Not Just Vaping

"Chicken Little" - a 1950's children's story...
Those pesky Brit's are at it again...

First they go all in on vaping (see this) from 2015 no less...

Now Covid19 is no longer a "highly contagious infectious disease..."

Wow!

Just like that it's the regular flu: "...Now that more is known about COVID-19, the public health bodies in the UK have reviewed the most up to date information about COVID-19 against the UK HCID criteria. They have determined that several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (low overall), and there is now greater clinical awareness and a specific and sensitive laboratory test, the availability of which continues to increase."

Note the "low overall" mortality rate underlined (mine)...

Sure glad the governor of Pennsylvania has everyone living on lockdown.

That damn Wall Street Journal says the mortality rate may be overestimated by "orders of magnitude."

Wow!

Time to get more toilet paper...

  1. It is not so much the mortality RATE as it is that people who should not have died can die if there aren't enough ventilators, healthy doctors and nurses, beds, etc to go around. It's not about "OMG don't catch this" it's about Flatten The Curve. It's decimating elder facilities, for instance, and SOME people love their parents or grandparents.
