Coronavirus Live Thread. Live Thread 1
2/23/2020

Posted on 02/23/2020 1:57:16 PM PST by Vermont Lt

Figured we would start numbering the threads.

Some points to keep in mind:

1. This thing is not “just the flu.” 2. 1/10th of the worlds population is in some sort of lockdown. 3. Generally, we don’t buy the Chinese numbers But if anything they are low. 4. Everyone is welcome to post, but don’t bore us with your “you are panicking” posts. They are tedious.

It’s Sunday night and the Walking Dead is back. Let’s talk Coronavirus.

And what was it 20% of cases needing ICU/ventilators? That’s a crazy number. We simply don’t have that kind of capacity AND handle normal load.

Dr Nancy is (from what we've read on other FR threads) the SISTER of Rod Rosenstein.

“The average stay in an ICU bed with this virus (we need to stop calling it a flu) appears to be between 14-20 days.”

My son had a recent hospital stay and there were no regular beds available. The only bed was the last one in the ICU. They wanted to ship him across the state to a different hospital but fortunately that didn’t happen. This wouldn’t just crowd the ICUs, it would also crowd the regular beds. Our hospitals are at capacity much of the time already, especially during flu season.

I call it the “Wuhanic Plague”. No confusion about what that is.

“The heads in the sand folks” are being stupid. I’d happily be wrong about all this, but too many of the things I and others have predicted have come true. I’ll go back to what I’ve been saying -

Don’t panic. Prepare and be vigilant.

But it is time to elevate your preparations.

This publication distributed by ZeroHedge from a Lancet publication has details on 52 serious cases that received ICU care.

Sadly, of the cohort 61% died.

If there is, it’ll be on this thread.

China waking up now to a Monday start of the workweek- maybe.
That’ll be interesting.

Right so, if 20% need icu, and 61% of the ones who are in ICU don’t make it. What does that look like, that’s a pretty high CFR imo.

That is what I don’t understand? Who makes these test kits? Why is only ours defective? Why can’t we send A plane to japan or Italy and load it it up

Why do we have to wait weeks
