Tell that to all the health workers who have died you idiot.

All the risk factors go out the window when you are a health care workers, since the viral load exposure is much bigger. That's why the disinformed morons calling health care workers fake actors and yelling in their face without masks on is incredibly frustrating

One nurse Ive worked with died from C19 weeks before her retirement :/

This ain't a fucking game

Nah let's just treat it the same as the flu with no vaccine.

People who say this don't realize the flu has been around for much longer. This disease has just appeared and has racked up similar death total in space of a couple of months to what flu normally does yearly. This is why its dangerous if left to run unchecked.

So, what's the death threshold that causes us to lockdown? I mean, I get why we went into lockdown and don't fault a lot of leaders for making that decision. This was a new disease and we didn't have much information on it. There were signs that it might be much deadlier than it's turning out to be.

They're talking, all countries are talking, cause it will have to open eventually but wait till see if they actually do.

Nah, I don't think anyone needs to wait and see what they do. I honestly don't get the desire for some people to hold up Italy as some shining example of what a proper pandemic response looks like.

Then why the fuck are Italy and Spain now talking about reopening business and easing restrictions in May if its so easy? Their deaths per 1M population are some of the highest in the world.

Because Italy didn't fuck around like the US did and they did a true quarantine, no one was allowed to leave their house without permission.

Now they get to reap the benefits. Meanwhile we opened up Georgia even though it's one of the hot spots. Awesome.

The real sadness here is that some countries who are alot less well off than us have programs that are paying their citizens up to 80% of their income so they can stay afloat. Instead of all the BS protesting we do in this country maybe we should have protested better health Care, a more supportive government.

A more "supportive" government also means a more controlling government and higher taxes. I think Americans have made conscious choices over the decades to not push for that direction. Sure, it might hurt in situations like this, but it's been the choice of the people.

Well, they had safety net to protect workers, much more strict lockdown that was needed and it helped them when they were worst hit; over places that have a 'scout's honour' type of lockdown.

Are you over 70? Are you obese? Do you have some pre-existing condition? If the answer is no, then no, your health certainly is not at risk.

In fact, there is a 30%-50% chance you could catch COVID-19 and not even notice.

Here's an example.

There's several people going on about "just a flu"in this forum don't demand names as I don't have time for that shit.
The big difference between the flu and COVID 19 is that one has treatments and the other doesnt. Additionally, COVID is far more contagious with far fewer testing capabilities.

Lastly, this is a new disease we do not yet know what the long term sequelae are after resolution.

Does this virus instigate guellian-barre syndrome? Does it cause disseminated intravascular coagulopathy?( P.s we now think it dies) Does it cause pulmonary fibrosis? Does it induce encephalopathy both long term and short term??

There are hundreds of questions like that to which we do not yet have answers. We know that stuff about the flu. We know how to treat it. Yes people die from it yearly but it is a quantifiable entity and we know how to handle it.

The devil you know is better than the one you don't and all that.

(do i really have to explain this, it means fated but necessary risk under pressure, geniuses)

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Here's an example.

I mean, I'm not saying it's 'just a flu,' since it's obviously different, especially in regards to the long incubation period and contagiousness, but what is wrong with that statement? The death rate (or even serious complication rate) for people that are not old and have no comorbidities is extremely low.

Nah, we've known very early on thanks to that huge Chinese CDC study that the virus is not that deadly. The problem has always been the highly transmissible nature of the virus (again, due to asymptomatic super spreaders and long incubation period) meaning everyone and their mothers will contract this thing if left unchecked. This is how it is different than influenza -- Otherwise it's fairly similar , other than being a little more virulent.

 

[Djau]

We've had people die to it with no underlying illnesses outside of the age range; it is far too early to say exposure is ok for any age group.

Not all hospital departments are dealing with COVID. For instance, or cardiology for right now is basically nurses on their phones or watching TV or doing this kind of stuff.

Also, in some parts of the country there is no COVID 19 and hospitals are basically waiting their turn.

So please don't retweet someone who thinks COVID is a hoax.

You still don't send people back into a deadly pandemic without a vaccine.

Which Chinese study? Because us here in the states only started talking about lockdowns after we saw astronomical deaths (in proportion to confirmed cases) cases in Italy and people started thinking this is way more deadly than we initially thought (especially since previous info mostly came from Chinese officials, who cannot be trusted). I think Italy had like a 10% CFR when states in the US started locking down.

Thanks! With that said, there were strong reasons to suspect the data coming out of China and we were seeing near 10% case fatality rates out of Italy and hospitals being overwhelmed. I think that triggered a lot of the lockdown panic.

Probably hyperbolic, slightly, but certainly explain's america's fears of healthcare officials.
