Almost 87 thousand and counting.....

Almost 87’000 recovered and rising all the time (y)

As others have mentioned on here, surely it’s very important that the figures for those who have officially recovered are given more publicity.

Been saying exactly the same thing for over a week. Doesn't have the same fear factor for media though.

Truth should always be told, on all sides.

As awful as the news continues to come in & as I've said before, any piece of good news is a little bit of light in a dark room

70,000 of those are in China.

It's 65 out of 3359 in the UK. Fantastic news for the 65; hopefully many more will follow.

Italy is at 10% recovery.

When this is over I bet the mortality rate will still be less than the annual losses to the flu bug

I bet it wont be

I notice that even in South Korea the mortality rate has risen to 1% - that's ten times the flu (though similar to one of the recent flu epidemics).

But if it makes you feel any better, that number of recovered is only those who were confirmed ill. Most countries aren't even testing those with mild or moderate illness.

So the number with immunity (which is the really important number) could be 10 times 87,000. Still a long way to go to 8 billion mind.

0.1%? That’s going to take some kind of miracle

Funky Chicken highlights beautifully why pubs and cafes are still getting custom. A frighteningly niave comment there funky!
