5 new cases confirmed this evening in the republic and one in northern ireland.

There will be hundreds of cases, it’s unavoidable, the majority of us will contract it, most will fight it off, sadly some won’t, 250,000 plus a year die from flu, it’s never been sensationalised to this level, it’s not an extinction event, we’ll survive

I've read a few posts claiming the mortality rate is low.

But, put in perspective based on the stats issued today, of 106487 cases 3600 people are now dead.
That is a whopping 1 person to every 29.57 cases ... That is serious.
