Well I hope not because unless I’m mistaken, the US has fewer ICU beds per capita.
It is absolutely a major problem there. Italy is having to pick and choose who gets ventilators because they don’t have enough. White knight for them all you want, but they were not capable of dealing with something like this in an effective way. Meanwhile other similarly situated countries have obtained better results with similar resources.

Don’t think it’s me reassessing the overall risk of the virus. It just me hedging my bets, and this level of prep costs me literally nothing.
Still think fewer than 5k deaths is the most probable outcome after it’s all said and done, with ~10k the realistic upper limit.
My bad, 4 weeks ago...

You have a link because it was very difficult comparison to make to me.
Italy seems to work from its own definitions altogether that don’t include ICU.
Based my statement of a study that had the US far below comparable countries to Italy (Italy wasn’t included in base study. )
One thing is clear, if this is the reason why we should see it clearly in Germany in the next few weeks. They blow us both out of the water

Just going off what Italian doctors have posted about their occupancy rate and what I know about our occupancy rates.
Every ICU I’ve worked in other than cardiac or pediatric ICUs has been 95%+ full. Empty beds were somewhat of a rarity.
There’s probably some room to add people in cardiac or trauma ICUs but you gotta kinda hope nothing major happens there.

Cases are expected to double every 6 days so...
That means we are looking at about 1 million U.S. cases by the end of April; 2 million by May 7; 4 million by May 13; and so on.
From this good article:
STAT
That's why it's important to get out front of it and slow the transmission.

did you not notice the past tense usage? “Still”
My first post on it on back in January, but I’m starting to feel like I owe you rent or something for how much time I’m apparently staying in your head.

quote:That 35% is also not including those with mild symptoms that will brush it off as the cold and not go to the doctor. Pure speculation, but I bet we never find 70% of the cases.
There would have to be a lot more than 35% to bring the numbers down to the level of the flu.

New Orleans Mayor just cancelled all weekend events.
She ain’t playing around. We are going to limit this

Yeah, we’ve gone from a couple here in Kentucky to 8 in about 48 hours. Some are linked to one case from a Walmart worker in Cynthania and that number keeps increasing.

Every time I check this thread I see you playing thread sheriff. Just wanted to remind you that you grossly underestimated this event.

Someone needs to give latoya a lesson on containment vs mitigation.
We are way past the containment stage in this country. It makes no sense to restrict anyone unless the hospitals can’t keep up. There is no indication of that at this time.
Her actions won’t make a damn bit of difference. She just wants to tell everybody that “Latoya got dis”

The double the numbers every six days thing should drop precipitously if
1)we learn what not to do from Italy and what to do from South Korea
2)the warm weather stuff is accurate.
