re: Americans have lost all form of responsibility

What about otherwise healthy people that have an undiagnosed underlying condition that would die or close to it if infected? Seems to be more and more of that.

I don't think some of you realize how many people fall into the "at risk" category. Even if it were just all of the "at risk" category people who were quarantined, some of you would still complain about that, too.

First thing I think you’ve ever posted that I completely agree with. Well said.

Assume 1/2 of 1 percent. Still insignificant. We can do this all day.

Roughy 250,000 in the Lake Charles Metro region that would feed into the regional healthcare center.

A 1% infection rate is 2,500.

The hospitalization rate of COVID-19 is between 15-20% with an ICU rate of 3-4% (in a stable system).

At 1% in the Lake Charles area, you would have a hospitalization number between 375-500.

The ICU figures would range between 75-100.

According to your figures:

There are like 30-40 ventilators in the city between all the hospitals. Say there are 350-400 rooms total across all 4 area hospitals.

---

Just COVID alone at 1% has pushed Lake Charles overcapacity. That doesn't account for the safe assumption that at least half of those hospital rooms and vents are already in use by non-COVID patients.

That’s absurdly high, man. Nothing here in the US has rates that high. Not even in NOLA or they’d be over capacity at the moment.

I gave you the current dead and ICU patients in LC. According to your work up, there’s currently only be 35 people infected in the LC metro. That’s way too low according to people claim here there is a ton, but no testing available

Louisiana is running a hospitalization rate at 20% as of this afternoon.

So, you shouldn't have to take responsibility for a public health issue, but old people should?

We should ban sugar, 80k people die each year from diabetes. It's our responsibility to make sure that they aren't tempted..right?

According to the CDC, 79,535 deaths occur each year due to diabetes. The number of fatalities related to diabetes may be underreported.

If you want to go down that path, ban the gheys too? Due to their willful behavior with the spread of a much deadlier AIDS?
