    There are more than 600,000 deaths a year among the UK population, a little under 2,000 per day. Mainly among elderly people with acute illnesses. Coronavirus yesterday killed 10. Daily Covid-19 death tolls will, alas, go far higher than that. But let's keep it in context.

        Completely agree. As my parents always say, they wake up in the morning and think, great I'm here for another day. None of us live forever. Its important to enjoy life, not worry about when it will end.

        Context is important but is currently being thrown out of the window by too many people. For context, in the 2014/15 flu season, a particularly bad one, over 28,000 people died from complications caused by flu yet nobody mentions or even seems bothered by that..on the other hand

        That’s for a whole year. We have had 5000 deaths in ten weeks and it’s not spread around the world yet. The death rate for flu is 0.1%, for Covid it’s at least 1% and possibly higher. Take flu deaths and times it by at least ten.

        The problem here is that you have no grasp of context.

        1/ Not exactly true. Natural mortality is expected and reckoned for. A plague - which this is - could cause extra deaths in the order of hundreds of thousands in the UK alone.
