I'm not in a panic.
In fact, I'd go as far to say I have absolutely zero fear over this virus.
Yes, of course, every death is a tragedy (but whisper it, people die every day!), but as it stands Covid accounts for just 3.2% of deaths in British hospitals. I have no doubt somebody will, yawningly, say I'd feel different if it was somebody close to me. Probably very true, but I'd feel the same about cancer as well, and we haven't cured that yet either.
The death rate is low. It just is. In the week ending April 17, 8,758 recorded deaths mentioned Covid as a possible factor in deaths, whereas for the first week in October, the comparable figure was 321.
