Based on what toony ?Contrary to the current and past six-weekly news headlines, I dont think this is a hoax. However, it's the scare mongering and hidden agenda behind this that has got my goat.
Whatever the final death rate and whether this ends up just being a seasonal thing, the fact remains that 'normal' flu kills thousands a year and we're lucky to get an advert on the side of a bus stop or something.

Fingers crossed for your Father in law.My ideology that this isn't a hoax as much as I think and say it is, is because the amount of people that I know who have had a flu like illness both before Xmas and in early January is mounting up. Illnesses that they have never had before and fit perfectly into the covid 19 symptom story.
The Germans are talking about sending some of the kids back to school on the 20th of this month,most likely the older ones first in order for them to complete their A level's.On saying all this though, the figures show that over 355,000 people have recovered from covid 19 but the UK only shows 135 people recovering here. This is in comparison to over 50,000 recovered in Germany and Spain plus over 25,000 in the USA, France and Italy.
Even the Faroe Isles have 136 people recovering out of 184 cases. Surely this isn't the UK fabricating stuff now is it as I know plenty who have had some sort of a bug but as yet, massively touching wood now that im going to mention it, I dont know anyone that has perished for this simple reason only.
I hope things work out okay toony,your Father in law needs to watch his back though.Without going into any great detail over me Father in law, he's been in a hospital/care home type setting for over 6 years and has a secure room to himself. He mixes with no-one aside from nurses etc who have supposedly been following guidelines over contact etc since before this virus became major news.
Today's results came through and surprise surprise, he's got the infamous covid 19. Aside from a fever through the roof, it's a case of wait and see although his care is one of the most complicated Ive known due to his life story and where he is now but I dont want to bore people with the story. It's quite unbelievable anyway.
Don't watch if you are offended by anything that is not shown on your TV
