@Tony, the 10% mortality rate is a nonsense figure anyway, as the mortality rate is amount of deaths divided by amount of infected, times 100%. But since no one knows the actual amount of infected, as there is no testing going on, except on health workers, ofcourse the death rate is high. But in reality it is probably only less then 0,5%. As in countries where they do test, test, test, the death rates are much, much lower.
Spain has the most cases behind US and a published 10% mortality rate. The rate of increase in cases caught /overtook Italy very quickly. Whilst the world talks of the importance of extensive testing for reopening the Spanish government favors a trial and error approach to reopening. This idiot politician should be washing the sidewalks with a jet-washer not making serious decisions that impact our lives. He pedals fantasy and lies.
To alleviate confinement of children is a bad idea. Nobody knows who is spreading this virus and children are renown germ carriers. They sneeze and cough without regard for those around them. They touch everything, as is normal curiosity. Therefore, on the rare occasion I have to venture out for supplies, I am at more risk than before. Children had to comply with the rules of the land during wartime. This is a war, a virus war, so lets stop pandering to the demands of children and respect that we all have to make sacrifices if we are to combat this. That includes children!
