    FTFY, since its (generally) the younger folk that are out catching/spreading.

    Seriously, pick one and stick with it or else just admit you dont have a fooking clue. It's embarrassing how much tulip we've been told over the last 6 months that is just bollocks.
    Viruses tend to spread more in winter as more people do more things inside with others.

    This is why lockdown eased with all of us being allowed to take more outdoor exercise and local lockdowns forbid you from going into the home of someone else you aren't working/caring for.

    That's what Trump said a month ago - mortality is low, but now it's doubled.



    People who are getting it are mostly young, and they'll spread it to older people since lots of young people are asymptomatic and "feel fine".

    Explode.. yes.

    You know how viruses evolve?

    It will never leave us. But neither has influenza.
