From that first ‘batch’ of Bavarians (with that car parts company), they ran through it with no serious issues. One of their guys had 102.5 temp for around two days and two days later....felt well enough to go back to work. His doc kept him home for another couple of days.
If you have a normal immune system, non-smoker status, and under 65...this is just a serious flu-like situation where you probably stay home for seven to fourteen days. Someone with serious issues already, or lung problems, your health is seriously at risk.
Actually, there are enough cases to the contrary that I would remove “under 65” from that. While the old with missing lung capacity are at increased risk, there are unfortunately more than a few cases where young adults and the middle aged didn’t make it. There may also be some cases where those with normal immune systems are experiencing a cytokine storm, but I haven’t seen enough reports of that to say if it’s a common feature.
The remaining items on your list seem more or less correct to me from the reports I’ve read. Those with reduced or missing lung function/capacity due to smog, smoking or both are going to be the most screwed and likely to die from this.
I tend to agree. The death rate outside of China appears to be much less than 2%. If you’re a healthy person in a First World situation, you’re much more likely to survive this, it seems, than the average Red Chinese.
