Amazingly low death toll... most people who contract it will recover.


um the daily death toll in climbing as more of the backlog of 11, 000 people in serious or critical condition pass

you dont get it and then die the next day

If you’re elderly. very young or have complicating health conditions, then yes, the odds are against you.

Then again, with pneumonia, this is what you expect.

It is funny to hear from these armchair epidemiologists who think it’s no worse than a bad cold.

I had a detailed answer written up, but I’ll wait for their apologies, as they find their hospitals overflowing and their new I-Phones nowhere to be found.

It’s not worth my time.

Exactly. The formula they use to determine deaths per case is complicated, taking into consideration the number of days it takes from infection to death. It’s much higher than the flu.

If you are a confirmed case, you either recover, die or still have it. Some of the confirmed would have been confirmed and having symptoms for weeks. The last time I had the flu, I was sick less than a week.
