Less than 1% death rate. That is good news.
WE got the filthy Chinese to Thank for this!
It’s just psoriasis, Bro.
One death, out of 7.7 billion people. Heck, more cattle have been mutilated by aliens in flying saucers.
Very shocked.
It’s not too late to panic?!
The Flu kills perfectly healthy people every year with no underlying conditions. No one ever stated that some perfectly healthy people would not succumb to this virus just that it is not any different than H1N1 when NOTHING was done even though the same CDC warning and guidance was issued.
Parents should sue. He’d be alive today had the used hydroxychloriquine
No underlying health condition except psoriasis
Eh... God rest his soul...psoriasis is an underlying health condition A self conscious teen
He was on meds. The side effects of which exacerbated the symptoms of this virus
Until proven otherwise.
We are warned to stay off Motrin.
Fauci makes a dire prediction but says don’t hold him to it.
The guy is a slippery bureaucrat.
If he knows anything he’s not courageous enough to state it.
How many people die of the flu that were otherwise healthy. The media highlights this one case. The bottom line, a vast majority of people dieing with the virus have underlying health issues, in other words they were dieing with or without virus.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, so the boy did indeed have a relevant underlying condition.
Anecdotal, I know, but a friend who works at a children’s hospital in Denver reports that there is exactly ONE coronavirus patient hospitalized at his hospital, and that patient is eighteen years old.
Germany is apparently testing more than any other nation and their mortality rate is around 0.5% if NPR is to be taken at face value.
If the 14 year old had psoriasis, it is in an indication of a compromised immune system.
“this is the second case” out of 686,000 cases. Do you know how rare it would be if NO outliers existed?
Should I add several exclamation points?
i believe we had 60 million swine flu cases.
Kid had psoriasis, an autoimmune disease in which young onset patients tend to be more severe and more likely to have additional disorders of excessive inflammation. And one sometimes treated systemically with agents suppressing the immune system. It would be interesting to know how severe was his psoriasis and what treatment he’d been receiving for it. It may be that instead of being a sad exception to the “young and healthy do well” rule of thumb that he’s a clue to another risk factor.
This child may have had a genetic zinc deficiency, or deficiency caused by diet or other factors...
