One thing I can honestly say is that if I make it home and it looks like I certainly will, it would have been worth getting sick just to get off the smokes. The nurse has been giving me a nicotine patch every morning so that helps but I never entertained using them before I was hospitalized and just couldn't smoke. I think not smoking all these days has contributed to getting better. I am done. Never really even cared to quit before this happened so I never tried. The hospital as made it to where I had no choice. The first three days I could have killed for a smoke and now I don't even think about it.
I'm glad you continue to improve. I never was a heavy smoker, more of a social one. When I had my heart event in 2015 it was enough for me. No smoke enters my lungs now. If I want a buzz I eat an edible and definitely no cigarettes or cigars for that matter.

Hell yes! Hopefully you get to go home and see your family soon.

The hospitals all seem to be handling it pretty well so far too.
Yeah the site and statistics they are sending out daily have been very reassuring. When I checked yesterday ICU beds were only 59% at capacity while ventilators were at 30%. Very very good news.

I’m looking at worldwide deaths. We were at 37k last night. We are at 40,708 deaths now.
FTR on the average, normal day there are roughly 150,000 people who die around the world of all causes.
150,000....
So, while this virus is nothing to sneeze at, it's change on the average daily mortality rate is currently at 2%...give or take a few tenths.

Thanks. You do realize that number is climbing every day right? So in a couple of weeks we could be at 3% or 4%. In a month possibly more. At what point is it a significant number to you?

Just putting a little perspective on it.
Obviously all deaths from this are relevant. IMHO it is more relevant to the people it is affecting that don't have major previous health issues going on (severe obesity, chronic long-time smoker, Stage 4 diabetes etc) The fact that the virus hastens the departure of these groups from the living is only speeding up the eventuality of their conditions fate.
As I said, the number was just putting some perspective to the current situation at hand.

Agree. Fat people have only themselves to blame for this.

Statistically fat people are not dying.
If you believe the statistics.

25% of deaths are clinically obese
That is not even counting the range of "fat people". You are fat far before you get to clinically obese
5'10" 200 lbs is fat (which is the average american man size over 20 years old btw). This board and America would simply say "he could lose a few pounds"

Probably not quite than many are. Although corrected for age range it might be possible.
Quibbling over the 'clinically' term.
Regular obesity definition, those are correct numbers.
