Covid-19 Contagious

Jesus Christ I think you just gave me the Chinese virus

I think it’s twice as contagious than the flu. Since the incubation is on average 5 days, you can be transmitting the virus without knowing you’re sick.

Way too drunk and high to comprehend that. Let’s try again in the morning.

oh my god, on March 22, some people STILL don't get it? My God, Trump is killing all his fans (and the rest of us as by catch): For FS:

"To be clear, SARS-CoV-2 is not the flu. It causes a disease with different symptoms, spreads and kills more readily, and belongs to a completely different family of viruses. This family, the coronaviruses, includes just six other members that infect humans. Four of them—OC43, HKU1, NL63, and 229E—have been gently annoying humans for more than a century, causing a third of common colds. The other two—MERS and SARS (or “SARS-classic,” as some virologists have started calling it)—both cause far more severe disease. Why was this seventh coronavirus the one to go pandemic? Suddenly, what we do know about coronaviruses becomes a matter of international concern."

331 million people

40-70% will be infected according to projections

if we say 45% get infected that equals 150 million people.

20 % need hospitalization .

Italy is having problems and they have more hospital beds per capita than the US

5% to 10% need ventilators

If 5% need ventilators, that means 7.5 million in the US will need them.

The US estimates it has between 72 - 150 thousand.

so if we have 150 thousand, the best case scenario, then that means we have 7.5 million who need a ventilator and we only have 150,000, then only .02% can actually get one.

In other words, 1 out of 50 people can get a ventilator . . .and that's how we die . .. if you get a respirator, you're probably ok. If you don't, bye bye, son.
