Really interesting about South Korea. With the random arse cases popping up on the west coast I could see this happening here in a week or two. What will we do when there are no hospital beds?

Good God, reading thru the BS and bickering is like who has the ball in a school yard. There are a couple of y'all that just needs to STFU.

My 70 year old parents are doing 2 weeks in France in July and are considering canceling
I told them they are overreacting and they should be good by then.
What would you do?

They are of an age to be concerned, however, I wouldn't cancel anything until I absolutely have to ie cancellation policy fees accrue or when I can't make alternative plans for the time period allotted.

Won't happen.
This year's flu is on pace for nearly 200k fewer hospitalizations from the flu than 2 years ago.
Capacity here is not an issue across the country.

Good advice IMO.

Dumb question...
Does the rest of the world have annual flu as widespread as ours? If so, how does ours compare?

I think you are wrong here.
Localized outbreaks can definitely swamp hospitals. This isn’t the flu where a large percentage of the population is immune. It’s not a fair comparison. No one is immune.

I agree with your assessment.

Exactly. Look what happened in Wuhan and they managed to contain it to about 70k/11 million people.
This thing is infectious AF. If we get to the point where we decide frick containment, business as usual, people will be dying in the street on the hospital steps.

I know you think otherwise, but the numbers just don't support it IMO.
You're not going to get a Wuhan situation here. The awareness is far too high, even with our inadequate testing thus far.
Anyone that needs a bed will get one. It may not be in thimeir local town, but that's par for the course with American medicine.
As I mentioned earlier, there were nearly 30 more hospitalizations per 100,000 people with ILI in 2017-2018 than there is today. That's a massive amount of capacity in this country.

It might not even be hundreds.
This thing is so overblown and isn't even funny. People are losing their shite over a virus that has infected some 84,000 people since it first appeared in Wuhan back in December.

That’s not really how it works in real life. Let’s say a small community gets a large outbreak. Look at the random area of Italy (Lombardy) that is the hotspot right now.
Their small community hospital with 10 ICU beds will be overrun quickly and if they get a bunch of cases of people in respiratory distress that need intubation it doesn’t really matter that a hospital 2 hours away has ICU beds. It’s a time sensitive issue.

Two people (Israeli & Japanese) from the cruise ship that cleared quarantine and were released have now both tested positive today. This seems like it could be an issue as China tries to relax the intensive quarantines across the country. Also, probably an issue here in the US, since they have been clearing people and releasing them from quarantine.

Oregon just confirmed first suspected case of community spread. The person visited/worked/had some sort of contact with an elementary school. No idea of the number of potential contacts this person had.
