Re: [Avid-L2] Whither NAB?

Hi Luca,

Since you're in the middle of it, I take it you follow it more closely than I do. Perhaps you have some answers:
As fas as I know, it's not deadly perse (most people survive it, with or without symptoms), but mainly morality rate is high with elderly.
(Unlike the Spanish flu, that strangely enough took the most healthy group. (Granted, at that time that group was mostly in the army, underfed and worn out.)

Now, for this to blow over, everyone has to get resistant.
That means either getting a (not yet existing) vaccin, or getting infected and survive it.

Or, what am I missing here?

(Oh, my points about the media making things worse instead of better still stands. I can't buy toilet paper anymore, without any valid reason.)

I did not mean to flame the L2, my apologies. My point was that underestimating this disease is dangerous, and there's no trade show worth putting thousands of lifes at risk.
 
@ Job and Kenton (in order of appearance!) thank You for the kind words.
 
@ Bouke, this is not flu, it is a deadly virus spreading very fast. This is a fact, it's not the media. Everyone is entitled to her/his own opinion, but not all opinions are sensible, nor sensitive. I'm glad You don't claim to be right, and I beg to differ. The World Health Organization questioned the herd immunity approach by the way, the scientist in You can Google for some readings with normal capitalisation from reliable sources.
 
@ John, I feel your pain. Since an upgrade to COVID-20 is in the pipeline I'm saving my mother in law for betatesting prior the release.
 
Regards, Luca
