Still keeping safe? And how about the family members now, they being more careful?

A bit of good news.
Peak for the US has moved from the 16th to the 11th, and predicted deaths per day have gone down from 3,100 per day to 2,200 at the peak.
Also, total deaths predictions have gone down from 80,000 to about 60,000. Still a lot, but the prediction numbers look a lot better than they did a day or two ago.

I don't have any concrete evidence and do hope I am totally wrong but.........everything I have read from the beginning of this thread and from other threads and source information (and note I thought something was not quite right about "The Chrojan Virus" from thread 1 and now in thread 5 my gut feeling has only been affirmed). "The Chrojan Virus" story from day one just does not add up as a natural virus occurrence nor do the coincidences and numerous other factors. Why a cocktail, because when making a soup one can add all kinds of ingredients in an experiment way to achieve an outcome, similarly in a lab one can develop a virus for a desired effect/outcome and the diverse list of symptoms and effects of this virus kind of appear like a soup of capability which one would not normally get from a normal virus, but one made up of other viruses with their varying symptoms/effects add to the soup. e.g. MERS/SARS/HIV/Other/Nerve agent???? Who knows.

I’m interested to know
1. What evidence do you have that this is a cocktail of viruses as you describe? Doesn’t appear to be what the experts are saying.
2. How do your calculations arrive at that figure? We are hearing that Europe and the US are showing signs that we may now be at the peak of infections, particularly with the lockdowns time lag taken into account
3. If this is a planned cull as you suggest, then how are our ‘overlords’ managing who lives and dies? They will still need the workers to manage the power plants, keep them healthy, feed them etc etc. The survivors would need to be within these professions and in the right locations. And who and how would they be controlled? Do you think armies will protect the rich having seen their families and friends die?
All in all, maybe a good plot for the next resident evil game or zombie apocalypse but if any more than that then please offer some credible evidence.

I am no virologist but think that these numbers for "The Chrojan Virus" are highly conservative, nor do they account for
1. 2nd & 3rd waves
2. "The Chrojan Virus" becoming a seasonal or all seasons Chrojan Flu
3. Potential for dormancy or re-infections later which only those that designed the virus will know about
4. The unknown random mutanic (new word) nature of the virus
5. And.......

That is the natural and rational response, and an expected and sensible perspective to adopt. And I do hope that your optimism of a death rate being lower than 1%. But it is likely that even in the best case over the next few years that the actual real death rate will be over 1% when you consider the likely predicament of Africa and non health service nation states. I hope that your position and the outcome of "The Chrojan Virus" outbreak are the same. But we do not live in a sensible or rational truly caring world where humanity comes first so what I suggest is not necessarily just a plot for another virus movie (they will make one of course but it might turn out to be worse than you imagined) or wrong, but hope I am!!

Thanks for the link, I actually thought that it read fairly positively. 40% of us all may be exposed but not necessarily get ill and death rate lower than 1%. Also, this doesn’t taken into account any treatments that may be discovered, and there are suggestions that various existing drugs may work. As I have noted on here previously, my gf is a nurse and this is a real and nasty disease. However, I am not convinced with the doom porn, end of the world or population culling suggestions. These things unfortunately happen, and with modern travel so easy and our misuse of the environment and animals then it is only inevitable that we are in this position. The good news is that we live in a different and hopefully more enlightened world than in say 1918, and have the knowledge and tools to fight this.
Good to hear that more are taking this seriously. Well done.

Still staying safe, thank you! Brother in law is still being a moron about it, but others seem to have come around.
I am not sold on your cocktail mix theory yet, but I do agree on the points you made. One you forgot, long term lung or other affects after recovery.

Does this include covid19? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
Steer the immune system to fight the flu and it takes away the immune system's ability to fight the coronavirus and Rhinovirus infections?
I scanned some of the papers citing that one since the study was in 2012 and a small number of participants. It was not a robust finding and other papers (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...) indicate that vaccines seem to improve the resistance to other types of respiratory illnesses.

UK announces 936 more coronavirus victims pushing Britain's death toll up to 7,095 - yet another record daily high in the nation's deepening crisis amid fears it is 'nowhere near' the end of lockdown
The UK has announced 936 more deaths from the coronavirus today, taking the total number of fatalities to 7,095 and marking another record one-day high in the nation's deepening crisis. NHS England confirmed 828 more people have died in its hospitals, with patients aged between 22 and 103 years old and of whom 42 had been otherwise healthy. Scotland, where 77 more deaths have been confirmed, also diagnosed a further 336 infections in the past 24 hours, Public Health Wales announced 284 more positive tests and 33 deaths, while five more fatalities were recorded in Northern Ireland. Today's surge in deaths brings Britain within touching distance of the worst days experienced in Europe, which saw 969 deaths in Italy on March 28 and 950 in Spain on April 2. China never recorded more than 254 in a day. But the numbers are dwarfed by the US, which is being hammered by the virus and recorded 1,799 deaths yesterday.
Many of the fatalities announced each afternoon happened days or weeks ago, and many of the people who have actually died in the past 24 hours will not be counted in the numbers for days or weeks to come. This means that each day's death count does not represent the date on which it is announced - it includes almost entirely deaths which happened more than 24 hours ago, and all the fatalities which actually happened on that day are announced officially in dribs and drabs in the days and weeks that follow.
Face masks DO NOT stop healthy people from catching coronavirus and should only be worn by healthcare workers and patients, says WHO
The United Nations’ health body was forced to review new evidence from Hong Kong claiming mass-issuing masks may have helped contain the pandemic. But the WHO maintains the public should not wear them outside because there is still no proof they prevent infection, it says. In updated guidance published on Monday, the health body said masks were only useful for healthcare workers and patients who test positive. The advice is in stark contrast to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which urges all Americans to wear them. The CDC has even went one step further and advised people use makeshift masks out of scarves when travelling on public transport or in supermarkets. UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock still insists 'well' Britons do not need to wear masks because evidence on them being useless had been 'very clear from the start'. Scientists are split on the effectiveness of masks, with some claiming they could prevent asymptotic patients from spreading the disease before they know they're ill.
