I saw a doc on the news last night talking about how easy it is to treat if you have reasonably good medical care. She said it was basically a matter of keeping the patient hydrated and keeping the fever under control till the disease runs it’s course while preventing the spread._

Man o’ man, I sure doubt the above doc’s statement. I have read that even with the best medical care, the fatality rate is still 60%.

“Man o’ man, I sure doubt the above doc’s statement. I have read that even with the best medical care, the fatality rate is still 60%.”

Put several hundred patients in every hospital within 100 miles of patient zero, and the hospitals would be overwhelmed.

This level of care is easy to provide to a buss load of folks. A stadium load? No way. Go spend a few days in your local emergency room and see for yourself.
