How many days do we have between catching the virus and dying (if that is our fate)?

abcadelaide Its maybe time we re-thought freedom of the press. People are going nuts due to the medias irresonpabile dramatisation of this whole issue. And the fact that people are getting more gullible.

considering how hard it is to get diagnosed thats a high amount. my kid goes to a school with many international students, the most in region, she got me sic last week, had all they symptoms of COVID19 so i went to hospital, sat for hrs, no test because i hadn't been overseas

'Coronavirus related death' the man had the virus no mention in the story if he died because of it OR because of an age related illness. This kind of headline feeds the loo roll panic brigade. Can you clarify

Is this the with the doctor on ABC news 24?
