Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)

[batoncolle]

The numbers don't seem so bad at a 100. The numbers we do have are confirmed cases, hospitalizations, and rate of spread.

I wont bother with mortality as that can be argued 6 ways from Sunday and already has been.

We started March with about 70 confirmed cases. We now have approx 260k on April 3rd. Confirmed cases are doubling every 5 days.

So in 30 days the number of confirmed cases will double 6 times. That's over 100 million cases. Your number for hospitalizations is 14% (I'm reading more like 20% but doesn't matter for this example).

So, 14 million cases that require hospitalization. We have less than 1 million staffed hospital beds. Say, through hard work and miracles we were able to expand our hospital bed capacity by a factor of 10. We still overload our medical system by millions. And that's at about the end of this month.

The ride is only now beginning ladies. I will send some words up for all of you.

That's because our so-called healthcare "experts" are in fact complete morons just like our politicians.

Here's what they're doing. If you have any symptoms and go somewhere to be tested, and you don't meet a very specific defined criteria, they tell you to go home and isolate yourself for a few days in case you get worse. Meanwhile if you do get worse, it's too late. If they would've started treatments, like hydroxycloroquine early, you'd most likely be fine. It has already been proven in multiple tests and in multiple countries.

People are dying not because this kung flu is so bad, but because our healthcare system sux. And the so-called healthcare experts go an post on social media about healthy people getting sick to try and make a point, but they ended up that way because of complete moronic negligence by said healthcare "experts".

These are the same doctors that over prescribed antibiotics.
These are the same doctors that over prescribed opiates.
These are the same doctors that hold up signs asking you to stay home so they don't get infected because they're "heroes"...

Quit listening to these morons, and tell them to do their damn job. I had a friend the other day that went into the front door of a hospital with all the symptoms, and they told him to go home. He walked right out the front door and into the ER and now he's sitting at home waiting on the test results....

And they are on the news telling people to wear homemade masks that wont do a bit of good just to give people a security blanket. Ridiculous.

That's how I felt every time we had to go to MOPP 4!

False actually. It may not do as much good for the wearer as an N95 but it sure does a lot of good for everyone else if the wearer happens to be a spreader.

We gotta think about others and not just ourselves. Everybody is complaining about wanting to go back to work, well the only way it’s going to happen is if everyone wears a mask all the time when in public. The social stigma of it has to end.

So would my thinking be right here? Out of 100 people that get this:

Approx 86 would get over it at home.

Approx 14 would need to be hospitalized.

Out of those 14 hospitalized approx 3 will die.

No one knows what the final numbers will be. That is why the models appear to be so wrong. Those numbers are not to far off if the assumption was that the number of confirmed cases equals the total number infected. We know that assumption is wrong. The question is how far apart is the confirmed number vs the true total.

Reminds me of the climate change model.

It's been over 6 weeks, when does the actual pandemic begin ? I still don't see people dropping like flies in droves. This is getting tiresome
