I finally convinced a friend of mine to take it seriously over Facebook the other day. Talked about it not being worse than flu and all that. I told him its estimated death rate was twenty to thirty times that of flu (0.1% compared to 2-3%) and he responded with “where at I getting those figures, Daily Mail doesn’t count”; it’s like he doesn’t know me.
Shared a few (non Daily Mail) articles and he admitted he’d learned something. I’m hoping more will learn sharpish.
