So they were in a major risk factor group for death by coronavirus anyway; is their age known?
I certainly hope that the thing about there being two strains is true; if @GaryH's post about the percentage of cases with the less aggressive strain beginning to increase due to the more aggressive strain burning itself out are true, then that does make me a tad less worried.
Hopefully this is only in the more aggressive strain, and the less aggressive strain that everyone's talking about does not cause these types of problems.@Matt N in terms of recoveries there are definately reports of people dying after recovering, or turning positive again, or having other problems. A video on the BBC website was an interview with a woman from Singapore who seems to have been left with lung damage.
It's difficult to say at the moment how many people who have recovered won't have a permanent form of damage going forward, and would be wrong to suggest everyone who recovers has no further health problems.
@GaryH In regards too the two different strains going around, is it possible to be infected with S, recover, then become infected with L and succumb to it?
Do we have any idea which strain is currently circulating?

I have 2 concerns about this 80% mild assumption....
1. It's mostly based on Chinese data. How accurate is this? Do we trust them? Why so many people on hospital if it's mostly mild and why when reading experiences of people who recovered and had mostly mild symptoms most struggled to breathe and ended up in hospital? And if mild why are 50% of people in Italy hospitalised and another 2300 waiting for a hospital bed in South Korea? Doesn't add up to me.
2. There have been plenty of deaths of people under 50 with no pre existing conditions. Many of the medics in China who died were young with no conditions listed. In NYC tonight a 40 year old made has been rushed in to ITU in a severe condition. While yes the majority of people may be over 60ish but there is a chunk of younger people coming down and dying from this and we don't yet know why.
Personally from the figures around the world and all that is being said about this, I think the 80% figure being used to ensure the panic is controlled and countries keep functioning.
The recovery rate and CFR seems to completely dependent on the quality of the healthcare received. I hear South Africa has had a case today, that really is very concerning of it spreads through Africa.
Edit:. The first UK death which was in Japan and a chap from the cruise ship..... Ever never released details on him. We don't know his age. Poor health condition.
The amount of time later I hear on the news
“Most infected will only have mild symptoms”
Leads me to thing we are all fecked
The more they say it the more they are lies
And now they are on the delay tactic.
Bugger that, get it over and done with.
Send out the drones and spray the infection about
