A lot of people are talking about Coronavirus as if it's a death sentence for the elderly or people with preexisting health problems. It certainly isn't. Most of the people who die from are old people or people with health conditions, but that doesn't mean that you're likely to die from it if you're old/ have health problems. Let's put this in perspective.
First off, 80% of all Coronavirus cases are very mild.
Secondly:
For the most at-risk group, the mortality rate is only 15%. Even the elderly have an 85% chance of surviving Coronavirus- they most likely will not die from it. Of course it's unfortunate for those who do die from it and we don't want our loved ones to be in that 15% group, but if your grandmother catches it, it's not the end of the world.
Thirdly:
Again, the most at-risk group seems to be people with heart disease. Only 10% of people with heart disease die from Coronavirus. 90% of people with heart disease will survive Coronavirus.
I'm not trying to downplay the disease- just trying to put it in proportion.
With that being said, I hope everyone's having a good time at the London gig tonight. Wash your hands. Self-isolate for 14 days if you can. Hopefully, all will be well.
