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.
The NIH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

And how do those stats match up to "cases" of more common flu strains?
Most flus are a Hillary.
According to more and more sources (WeChats / YouTubes / Tweets smuggled out of China; "co-worker's sister who lives in Wuhan"; doctor-to-doctor communications informally; online chat rooms for Chinese taxidriver, which some of our governmental agencies lurk on; etc. etc....
China long ago passed the point that mild cases would not go to a doctor; now even those who would otherwise be in the intensive care unit, are waiting 12-14 hours to be SEEN at a hospital, and cannot be given beds because "they have not been confirmed with the virus" ...and there is a chronic shortage of test kits.
What you are seeing in China is the total breakdown of the healthcare establishment.
To be followed by worse: has the government lost the "mandate of heaven" ?
Recall that before this epidemic, about half of China's pigs died of "Swine Ebola".
And that a few days ago, it was announced that H5N1 is breaking out among chickens in Hunan Province.
...try not to think about the US "just in time" supply chain which depends so much on China.
Like Cardinal Medical, which just had to recall about a zillion surgical gowns made in China, because they were found to be non-sterile.
Wow. 25% is shockingly high number. You know, if one were a believer in Old Testament-style wrath and plagues, one might suspect that China’s recent gleeful crackdown on religion had swift and severe consequences.
Stock up on food and other necessities now, so the stores can get freight going and restock sooner. We don’t want to go to public places during the possible difficult time ahead, and we don’t want to shut them down with employee illnesses.
Darn Chinese. Now I’m wondering how bat tastes. Like squirrel?
And if people start getting the virus in your area, avoid public restrooms like the *plague.* Surfaces, feces...extremely dangerous.
Know what you’re going to get before going to any public place. Best to stock up in advance, though.
You calculate the number who have completed the cycle dead to recovered not number of infected to dead. That number is nowhere near 2.145% and lets you know why the we have quarantines going on.
Which means 75% aren’t
One needs to remember that most of China is in fact a third world country with third world health care
Yeah, just where I want to go.
A hospital built in 10 days using Chinese concrete, steel and drywall.
Okay, then you post on the forum what you think the mortality rate is. I don’t mind.
I’m telling you the number of deaths to infections, and in the end it will climb or recede.
Deal with it.
The upper-tier insured, investor class here may be in for a rude, momentary awakening soon.
How does Dr. Fauci know this? Should he believe anything a ChiCom doctor tells him?
Keep the bat but change it to “Eat Mor Chikin”
Infectious disease and Prepper ping.
100% require services of a mortician
As of the 15:42 reading from the JHU website, the numbers of deaths to recovered patients is 426 to 622.
Is it your contention these are the figures that should be used to calculate the mortality rate, and it should be pegged at 40.649%?
I just saw a report on Fox where a guy who posted videos was hauled away by people in full hazmat suits. He was accused of being “infected” and hauled off to who knows where. Commies gonna be commies.
