It hit the papers yesterday that more people are dying from Flu and pneumonia right now than from the virus.....but this has been true for weeks if you look at the ONS statistics.
There will be many more people die from other things because they have not been able to see a GP...they might have had a telephone appointment, but you cannot see pallor or jaundice, or see clubbed fingernails by a telephone call....you cannot see if someone's walk is affected or if they sit down gingerly...you cannot palpate an abdomen or listen to breath sounds, check a BP or an ecg by phone.
So many life shortening conditions will have been missed as a result of us being duped.
Very sad. Very damaging and really unnecessary.

surely others must know this. said right from the outset that other illnesses are still available. why is one virus so much more deadly than anything else known to man. has there ever been any disease ever that has had so much publicity and fear associated with it. will any winter flu outbreak be classed as corona virus. we do not know but there,s one here who has a feeling it will.
