The symptoms are more varied and in a number of cases leave patients with long term conditions. How many Long Flu clinics are there? How many people who have the flu are still suffering 6-7mths after contracting the virus?
You accuse me of sensationalising numbers when all I’ve used is some of the most most accurate figures we currently have. You are constantly playing things down and alluding to some conspiracy. So what is the reason for the U.K., most of Europe etc are putting such measures in place? What are they not telling us?
I've stayed out of this discussion really as I work with COVID but I don't think this is correct DH. The jury is still out but evidence is that while it's more contagious, it will almost certainly be less severe. In general mutations reduce the severity of viruses. It's very rare that it happens the other way around.
