Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[DynaLo]

I have the coronavirus. So far, it isn't that bad.

Here's an article from someone who has coronavirus.

This way of thinking and statement right here is what’s going to get us.

“If I were at home with similar symptoms, I probably would have gone to work as usual.”

If anybody could do it, it'd be you

Dont let him lie, he's been trying from the beginning of this

Interesting asymptomatic statistics..

For some people, sure. But right now the death toll is 2900 out of 85k cases. That's 3.4%. I agree that is a high estimate because there are unreported mild cases. But even if it was another 20k, the death rate is > 2.5%.

why use percentages in those figures? Shock value?

I don't think it added any shock value at all. It just made the data more easily transferable.

LOL

That's a LOT of people who will need hospitalization

It’s not a big deal. Observation in a hospital is just that

 

[luthervol]

LOL

Among those 1300 with symptoms, 1138 were confirmed with the virus .

BUT out of the 600 WITHOUT symptoms, 420 were confirmed with coronavirus.

That sounds less shocking to you?
And is easier to process?

Much less.

Much less.

Now that is what is shocking. I take it you must struggle with numbers?

So that's why the idiot left while he's still hacking and coughing?

And who shares their water with their kid while sick??

The tweets were deleted was this guy coughing with his daughter on air later confirmed to have Covid-19?

I'm not sure sharing the water matters when her head is right next to him and he's coughing. The 6 foot rule is already compromised.

Thanks Doc, it has been appreciated. Unfortunately, what was once a good informative thread with information sharing and solid discussions seems to have turned to total shite recently.

Yes, this used to be an interesting thread but as soon as the market slid the overload of political crap that's already in every other thread poured into here.

This facility is 7 miles away from us and the hospital where the guy died about 5 miles. Groceries are going to be fun this weekend...

Best case scenario: It will slowly makes its way from the west to the east.

I'm finding most of our influenza A people wait until their fever is over 103 and they can't fight their families anymore. The families make them come. We had one the other night with 105*. He got the ice packs and was totally delirious.

You get to 103 and you just pop 2 extra strength Tylenol and you are back down to below 100 in an hour or less.

Not a bit.

Moderators, please rename this the Coronavirus Democratic Hoax Thread

First step in healing is admitting you have a problem. Congratulations

If just 1/7th of the US population catches the virus and the death rate is 2 %, that's 400,000 dead.

Quit weirding out. China has has this much longer, has poorer living standards, poorer health care, poorer everything, and hasn't announced 5000 deaths.

So tired of that Muslim Obama screwing up 'murica!

There is a vaccine for this?

I stopped going to the Oriental massage parlor.

Liar. Sing Woo said she saw you earlier today.

You can’t believe a dang word she says.

 

[DC_Vol]

You can’t believe a dang word she says.

I can’t even understand a word she says.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

I married a nurse; I'm used to abbynormal. I'll have to admit taking care of her since her hip surgery over a month ago has been going better than expected though.

Lol, I'm a horrible pt, non compliant, ask lil reb.

My wife had a major surgery last year, bladder removed, they knicked her colon, feces got in her blood(I forget the name they call it). It was really bad at first, fever was constantly around 103 off and on for days. Admitted back into the hospital several times, then released and it would go right back up. One night right after leaving the ER, they got it to 100 and let her go, we got home and it spiked to 105 on our thermometer. She was having convulsions, I was scared to death cause we hadn't been home a couple of hours. Off topic, but I'd never seen anybody get a fever that high, or react that way. They've been fighting it for a year with antibiotics, even IV treatment. It's there, but thankfully hasn't caused nothing like that again so far. Sorry, off topic, the 105 just made me think of it.

I get 940,000 dead with your figures. 1/7 of the population (330 million) is approximately 47 million. 2% of that is about 940,000.

Yeah,I was working off wrong figures. Tx for correcting.
