Hopefully, there aren't that many people over 50. Really hopefully, those that are are in fabulous health.
 
I think the skew is really high toward 75/80+. It drops off 70 - 80 and then again 60 - 70 and starts falling off more rapidly from there. Other health issues greatly increase serious illness/death chances, and smoking seems to be an accelerator also.

I think it’s more closer to 75. Seems like 95% of the dead outside of China are over 75 with the small percentage below that have health concerns. The good news is it is apparent who we have to protect, the public just needs to get onboard with watching when they are sick and not visit elderly relatives and nursing homes.

That’s the question I was looking for. I would like to see out of the deaths so far how many smoked.

I read that a lot of Chinese men smoke. About half.

And I just quit smoking last year. By no means have i corrected the 10 years of damage done, but better than nothing right?

Correct. I never smoked but dipped since I was 13. I quit last year. Nicotine is a ----- but once you get past the 2-3 months withdrawals it’s worth it.

Entire UK cities could be placed on coronavirus lockdown to contain spread

Matt Hancock yesterday refused to rule out putting British cities on lockdown, in an echo of how China looked to first contain the virus to its Wuhan epicentre

weird for something less deadly than flu

It may not be as deadly right now but comparing it to something that has been around for years seems somewhat irresponsible because right now countries are only able to see whats happened in China and starting to occur in their country. They also have more details about the virus than the public and it's probably worse than their letting onto. Now I'm not saying it's overdone because it could be but it could also be the right thing for their circumstances.
