If Maunder is right that would seem to be the case. However, it is at complete odds with what the WHO said yesterday. Their investigation into China suggested there very few "invisible" cases of the coronavirus.

If it is the latter then the mortality rate will obviously be a lot lower, and that’s good news.

Quantum is good at doing the maths - but assume 50% have the infection - out of a population of 100 million (for sake of argument and because it makes the maths easy), that is 50 million infected - if 5% of those have sever enough symptoms to require hospitalisation, that is 2.5 million people requiring hospital beds and care. This is where we get into difficulties.

And if it does impact mainly the elderly, we can view it as a cull of Brexit and Tory supporters, whilst leaving the nicer people to get the country back out of the hands of the shysters and spivs.

Like I said, suspend all private hospital procedures, sequester private hospitals for care of Covid-19 patients, and co-opt the staff into the NHS until this blows over.

The japanese style toilets have this integrated and do it in a carefully planned way with no spilling or accidents. They can then dry the arsehole and even perfume it to your taste.
