The time from symptom onset to death ranges from 2 to 8 weeks for COVID-19.1 This means that some people who are currently infected with COVID-19 will die at a later date
The WHO reports that “about a quarter of severe and critical cases require mechanical ventilation.”27
Only a quarter? So far only 64 such cases in USA, need 16 ventilators. USA has 132,000. Something doesn’t compute. Why said not enough ventilators?
Forget testing. It is only designed to make people less anxious. If you test negative it only means you are ok for a day because you might catch it tomorrow. If you test positive there is no cure, all you do is self quarantine which you are supposed to do anyway. Just pray it doesn’t become pneumonia.
I bought my wife today her own Glock17, a Browning 22 Buck Mark and a Winchester 12ga pump. She feels a bunch more secure than any test can provide.
Awesome. She can also use a carbine. Get her a Ruger PC Carbine with a Sig Romeo 5 red dot. It can share mags with the G17.
You are only half right. If the follow up is releasing negative and deal with positive only, testing is not that useful. However testing couple with contact tracing stop the spread by identifying potential infected early.
Fatality rate
= 9285/227086 to 9285/95246
= 4.09% to 9.75%
higher than yesterday
US = 155/9477 = 1.64% higher than yesterday’s
Don’t forget all the people that were already on ventilators or need them for other reasons.
my dentist friend in south bay ER said reaching to a max. and not enough ventilators
Please share with any medical professional friend, and please try not to go out and get infected to spread out the virus to put more burden on our medical frontline
Shortly after opening, long queue to get in Costco after 4 confirmed cases in Williamson County.
Make you wonder how come so many need to go to ICUs?
You are not up to date. After six days from your “cannot even kill an ant”, number of deaths almost double. One double per 6 days, after 3 months, there would be over 300,000,000 deaths. More than 300 million deaths after 3 months. Want to know how many deaths after 1 more month?
Worst case scenario is China with 100k cases and 5000 deaths then leveled off in 3months . If that happens in the US things will improve in a couple of months. Probably best case scenario. Worst case?
use italy’s number instead of china. How come people still believe in china’s number are real these days.
That would be the worst case scenario. Unfortunately their curve hasn’t flattened, so the total is unknown. But the US is more proactive, has more capacity and half the elderly percentage in the population.
My guess is worst case 1m cases, 30k deaths by August. Still less deaths than an average flu season. The only other good news is that flu deaths should go down with all the quarantined
Death Rate depends on if our medical system able to hold up. The shelter in place effect will not kick in for another 2-3 weeks my guess. So in the next 2-3 weeks we will see huge jump in infected/death. I’ve been hearing a lot of hospital are near max. And CDC now telling young ppl to watch out.
If a hospital is near max can’t patients be transferred. We have 5000 cases, maybe 500 are critical. That’s a small number of the 100k units available nationwide.
where as when all hospitals are full, where can they transfer, this is the reason why shelter in place to slow this down. if massive infeced(especailly from those show no symptoms they keep spreading it out) even 5% need to go hospital , our medical system will collapse
I wonder if there is correlation between vaping, pot and cigarettes and vulnerable population death rates?
Isn’t that the China BS trying to reverse the blame this orginated from US.
