The government's response to the increasing numbers of Covid 19 cases? Nothing!
The bottom line is that most of us will get it at some point. To say the infection is very mild in children and very serious at 60 yrs old is pure craziness. The illness will be VERY severe in some children, just as it will be mild in some over 60's.
My concern is that the numbers being reported are not accurate at all. I know of people who have come in to contact with others who have been skiing in Italy. One in particular has been really poorly, in bed for 11 with all the symptoms of the the new virus, 11 days now. Despite reporting his symptoms to 101, he's not been tested, his family haven't been told to isolate (so 2 children at 2 different schools, been to supermarkets, clubs the works).
I believe this virus is with us already.
