(Have we a blanket ban on discussing this? If so please delete.)
From the start I had accepted the view that this was, by definition, a 'novel' disease against which we have no defence. However I think it was Bob Crowe who linked to this:
on Facebook. Which I recommend to you all.
Fo me the key point is that the author considers that although 'novel' it is no different from other 'novel' viruses that we have experienced in history, and which show a steep rise in deaths, which then tails off, and does not rise in a second wave.
In the early stages I kept an eye on the worldometer site to show number of cases, and numbers of deaths. The point now is, that in the early stages after a lag of a few weeks, the number of cases linked to a sharply increasing number of deaths. However, if you look at the graphs now, despite the vastly increasing number of positive tests, there is no (or very little ) increase in the number of deaths. And this is mirrored across France, Spain and Italy.

Maybe it's not as virulent as I/we first thought.
