Bradfordlass I am in total agreement with you, although I would point out that CV is not flu.
So far deaths have been confined mainly to the old and ill, a group that are by definition, likely to die within the forseeable future of almost anything. That is not meant to sound callous, but I think all of us can look back at our families and see in how many cases that the death of someone old and frail has been the result of them picking up some kind of infection, usually we do not no what or from where. This certainly applies to my own father, his brother and several others I know. Some of those who have died, would have died within the next couple of weeks of something else anyway, probably another infection.
What I am trying to say is, that for the majority of the population, including older people, this illness may be unpleasant, but it is not serious or fatal. We need to do all we can to protect those whose health is really threatened by this and it is to do this by managing its peak
In every crisis, one person/companies loss is other companies/persons profits.
