Will the improved weather in the UK assist with people's ability to fight it?

This virus will never stop now, luckily it will only take out the elderly and people with other underlying ailments.
Presumably, with a statement like that you are an expert in infectious diseases advising the WHO. Please share your knowledge with the concerned of the forum :okay:

It's a joke. As an "underlying ailments" person, I'm not offended.

Any source for that?

I've noticed a couple of young healthy doctors in China have succumbed, so maybe it could be like Spanish flu, which actually seemed to be worse for young healthy types IIRC.

From wiki, age profile of deaths from Spanish flu:

With that outbreak, remember that there were no antibiotics then and it spread way faster due to people travelling on overcrowded and filthy troop ships as WW1 had just ended.

Health experts issued an ominous warning about a coronavirus pandemic 3 months ago. The virus in their simulation killed 65 million people.

Those carrying out the simulation have been moved to write -

To be clear, the Center for Health Security and partners did not make a prediction during our tabletop exercise. For the scenario, we modeled a fictional coronavirus pandemic, but we explicitly stated that it was not a prediction. Instead, the exercise served to highlight preparedness and response challenges that would likely arise in a very severe pandemic. We are not now predicting that the nCoV-2019 outbreak will kill 65 million people.
