“So, we would expect to see the mortality raise as the hospital system gets overwhelmed.”


The mortality rate will rise as the hospitals get overwhelmed...but not just for the coronavirus, for EVERYTHING. There are only so many doctors and nurses, and so much medication even if the pharma companies put production into overdrive (and then you have to question quality - a whole other issue). So the ENTIRE system is at risk.

The doctor who tried to warn people about the virus is infected now. I saw an interview of him on CNN. He is in intensive care on a breathing machine.

He is only 34 years old, so I guess this virus will take out people in their 30s too, not just the old and young.

I talk to a local nurse friend. Our hospital system is having meetings about this virus already. They are concern about being overwhelmed. They are preparing for it hoping it does not come our way.

Everybody should keep at least three months of supplies and food in their house. If the virus does not come our way at least we have food to eat for three months, no loss.
