What? Why, has it killed a disproportionate amount already?

I'm sure BoJo and Hancock will be getting premium healthcare.

Considering Hancock was shown on TV coughing into his hand and just carrying on, ignoring NHS advice, he might think again now.

That's what I'm afraid of.

You are afraid that it isn't going to kill any public figures?? I am confused....

I am not aware that any 'public figures' have passed away as a result of covid19

That's what I'm afraid of.

The vast majority of celebs and “public figures” who have had it have all made complete recoveries, though.

I cannot say it enough, but the mortality rate of this virus is very low. Yes, it’s killed a lot of people, but it has infected over 500,000 globally THAT WE KNOW OF, and the death toll is roughly 20,000.

Again, that amount of people dying is truly awful, but can you not look at those figures and realise that this virus is very very far from a death sentence?

Okay, true, but the person I'm most worried about is the Queen. If she catches it, our national morale will go through the floor.

Still it proves that even they are not immune to the virus and BoJo in particular isn't the invincible 'Mr. Big' he might have thought he was!

What are you talking about, seriously? I don’t want anyone to catch it, but I honestly don’t value the Queen any more than any other older more vulnerable individual.

Prince Charles has it and he’s the future King, I don’t see us all falling around consumed by grief.

Force of habit, I suppose.

Frank, you know you need to work on your negative attitude, don't you?
FrankT
27-03-20, 14:54
Yes, I do. Except it just sort of comes and goes. I'm excitable, then I'm agitated...
BlueIris

It's tough. I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.
FrankT

I'm sorry too.

What an odd thing to say.

I find it better to not get entangled in that kind of negative thought process.

"Okay, seriously..."

Add a "?" and I agree ;)

Just hoping all that get it - famous or not - have a speedy recovery.

Famous people are not immune from any type of illness Frank. Do we really need to keep score?
FrankT
13-04-20, 23:13
Yeah, kind of!
Gary A
13-04-20, 23:17
Yeah, kind of!

Why?

Well... so we can blame the Chinese government for their untimely deaths!

You just hear about them, Frank. The media don't care about the people inside the over 10k deaths.

Exactly. I can't for the life of me understand why celebs and major public figures have to be singled out by both the media and society as a whole. They are just human beings, like the rest of us. As far as I am concerned, all lives matter.
