Why is coronavirus so deadly?

There are four other human coronaviruses, which cause common cold symptoms.

The newness of Sars-CoV-2, to give it the official name, she says, can be "quite a shock to your immune system".them to the New WorldBuilding an immune defence from scratch is a real problem for older people, as their immune system is slow off the mark.But in older age we produce a less diverse pool of T-cells - a core component of the immune system - so it is harder to find ones that can defend against Coronavirus.Covid starts off as a lung disease and can affect the whole body.

He says the virus does more than simply kill lung cells, it corrupts them too. Cells have been seen fusing together into massive and malfunctioning cells - calledAnd Prof Giacca says you can have "complete regeneration" of the lungs after severe flu, but "this does not happen" with Covid.Blood clotting also goes strangely awry in Covid, with stories of doctors unable to get a line into a patient because it is immediately blocked with clotted blood.

All nations are fooled It is a China bio-weapon, man made virus, DNA altered 20 million virus deaths in China already

It's not. But people think it is because of the false narrative perpetuated by media outlets like you. FakeNews

Immediate threat to life is modest, relative to key of-concern pathogens.

I have lived in Barnsley South Yorkshire all my live and generations before me , we have been portrayed over the years of being of poor northern stock ,after see the interview in Barnsley by an 83 year old it’s just confirmed it UNBELIEVABLE

98% survival rate is deadly?😳

It is not... Just facts

It is a genetic spliced combination of the flu and the cold virus' . With maybe other's mixed in. Some claim it was a experiment in China to try and solve other diseases; I do not believe that was the benevolent intent.

It's not. More bullshit propaganda from the BBC. DEFUND THE BBC. Why is the BBzc threatening old people in their homes with thugs knocking on their door when they don't even watch TV? BBC Lies.

Because most presidents and ministers of many countries have not taken the right decision to combat the virus. In some countries, it's now that they say putting masks is obligatory. They didn't even care about social distancing. People are so careless.

Nowhere near as deadly as mass unemployment.

boycottbbc boycottBBC

In recent weeks, Nigeria has witnessed protests against government. Thousands gathered in defiance of the social distancing rules. Why hasn't there been an outbreak of Covid?

Because you tell us it is....

Just another disease, jeepers end all the world yeah I am waiting...

More people die with dandruff than with coronavirus. Why is dandruff so deadly?

FakeNewsAlert

You are more likely to die of Malaria around the world rather than COVID19. The Press and Media are the culprits, for over emphasising and over playing the dangers of the dreaded virus.

More media scaremongering! What's the survival rate?

It’s not. The tests are flawed, the figures inflated, and news orgs such as yourselves have been blatantly lying.

I wouldn't regard a now commonly accepted 0.2% infection fatality rate across all age groups as 'so deadly', unless twice the mortality of flu qualifies. In which case, yeah, scary stuff.

I

I don’t think anyone really knows yet

It's not. Its IFR is around 0.13 which is not particularly high. You write an entire article without once comparing IFR, CFR and MR with other epidemics. This is not reporting it's pure scaremongering

Propaganda bullshit

Really interesting article. Everyone should read this, especially the anti-lockdown and conspiracy theorist brigade.

Pathetic headline from scaremongering BBC! The death rate for Covid 19 is 0.05% and the average age of death is 82. When one day a virus comes along that kills all age groups equally and the vast majority don’t need a test to tell them they actually have it, that will be deadly!

Because people spread it and think it isn't

It’s not

It’s not deadly lol

people from around the country are saying testing centers are empty,so where are all these 1000's of daily tests being done?

BBC, The corrupt media outlet, Scaremongering at its finest.

The most common symptom of COVID-19 is to be perfectly healthy. IT IS SO DEADLY, unlike flu, u need unreliable test to tell u u have it. (35m cases - 1m hugely inflated death No %3.6) %96.4 recovery rate of which %89 do not even know they have it. 0.012% death out of 7.8 billion

I'm so tired of seeing C19 stats as standalone figures.... what's the death toll comparison over the last 8 months of suicide, cancer, heart disease etc... Show me a graph with all that PLEASE!

It's like reading a parody wording like 'hit and run killer' and it being able to switch of the warning singles so you don't even know you are ill. Cant wait for the day everyone stops the fear and stops getting tested so we can go back to normal. Until then the bbc turns funnier

Because we left toryscum to deal with it.

Long term Covid is a thing for anyone. People say a death rate of 1% is nothing. What's 1% of 7 Billion people again?

Pneumonia is pretty shit and clever. And annual flu mutates and kills. When CV is over we need to lock down next winter to fight flu

Because it kills the sick and the old...stop this bullshit. Stop the lies.

It isn't!!! It seems to be pretty 'contagious' but far from 'so deadly'. Stop the lies BBC.

You are the fucking virus! 😡

Because ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied with the ChineseVirus

It’s not sooo.....

But is it?

Why *was coronavirus so deadly

A nonesense article.

It isn't classed as deadly. It isn't as deadly as pneumonia, only appears so because new, uncontrolled, no treatments etc until July. Cancer and heart disease are deadly.

Because you want to be so deadly, so you can whine and moan and voice your grievance and victimhood just like you have for the last decade. The virus is a blessing for the BBC and the bedwetting state grifters.
