lancer425 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Reckon thats utter BS myself, i think the vast majority of people are aware cautious and careful surrounding this virus. But gripped by fear? Perhaps some individuals, but overall i think the majority have it in full perspective, we are not going to live forever yes it has the potential to kill us. Should we be scared of it Yes of course, but stay safe stay home and Stay vigilant. is where most are with regards to this virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I think the bloke is a bit off with his thoughts he seems to be confused "Lord Sumption went on to list a number of historic epidemics such as Bubonic plague, smallpox, cholera, typhoid, meningitis and Spanish flu, reminding people that such outbreaks with higher mortality rates were met with less 'hysteria'." maybe people just have more knowledge now that then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
