Here is another... this is Dr. Fauci who is a member of Trump’s task force:
Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health told CNBC on Monday that a quarter of China’s coronavirus cases require intensive treatment.
“About 25% of them have very serious disease, requiring relatively intensive or really intensive care,” said the director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
PS, Dr. Fauci reiterated those numbers at President Trump’s Tuesday press conference
I haven’t believed what China says for decades now.
There were photos released from China (cell phone) of restrooms without soap to wash hands.
There are photos “leaked’ of Chinese hospital with bodies, in body bags, one of which is resting on soiled linen, placed over the waiting room chairs in a hospital. Either they willingly placed contaminated dead bodies in their own hospital waiting room chairs and are not capable of treating/contamating infectious illnesses - or they were fanning fears to justify locking down entire cities, dragging people away (purging of undesirables?).
We don’t know the rate in the US. Until we do, I really don’t ‘see telling people it’s 20%, even by the quotes I used re Corona, “For 80% of those who get this virus their symptoms will be mild and won’t require hospitalization.” That sentence says 80% mild and I’m not going to assume the other 20% will be severe with no “moderate” and of those which are severe, needing medical intervention, that all will be hospitalized.
