“ 1 in 5 is nonsense” Correct. It is also wrong to suggest that it will remain a threat until a vaccine is developed. My understanding is that the virus is likely to burn itself out before then as it runs out of fresh hosts. So the critical period will be determined by the effectiveness of the ‘delay stage’ which we are now in. If that delay works as intended then pre-season could well be affected. I wrote; I also wrote 'they believe' This means people at the highest risk, poor immune systems with added heart and lung problems. It will remain a problem until a vaccine is found, when the temperature drops during November, December, January, February and March the same time as the other flu bugs arrive this COVID-19 virus will be amongst them and it will remain a threat until we can include it into the flu vaccine injection that is available for all the people that are at risk. It doesn't run out of hosts, anyone can become ill at any time, immune systems can break down at any time, people that smoke can make themselves unable to survive the flu quite easily, there are hundreds of ways that humans can suddenly become a victim of a simple flu bug. That's why we make vaccines. Edited by Tickled pink (13 Mar 2020 4.32pm)

I suggest you do some further research. Without fresh hosts a virus will burn out. A vaccine for Covid-19 won’t be available for a very long time but it will be produced just in case there is a further outbreak next year or it becomes an endemic infection.

I wondered whether Steve's update would cover this. But no luck.

Can't see this going ahead now due to the travel clamp down by the authorities. It's only 17 weeks away, too little time, given what's happening with this virus There you go, I knew it would get cancelled
