I've been looking at some figures for covid 19 and someone please put me right if I am wrong. Today there are 2,629,951 cases of corona virus and 183,723 deaths, globally. That sounds a great deal, and it's very sad for the families of those who have died, but if you consider the fact that their are over 67 million people in the UK alone it will help put things in perspective The majority of people recover and often the symtoms are very mild. It is still the old and those who already have poor health who are at risk. The media are out to scare people in my opinion.
Hope this helps.
