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.
That’s what I have been saying since about week three of this.

Expect to be hearing about a lot of important deaths soon. It wont be happening in threes like usual. More like in 3 dozens.
Thanks for that personal report.
So hard to get news on this that one can trust.
“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.
... And best wishes for the full recovery of your family.

February 22: 79 people
February 21: 20 people
February 20: 3 people
- Total 03 deaths as of now

Anything new about Coronavirus within the last 30 minute to an hour?
Sadly, of the cohort 61% died.
Where was the photo taken?
Milan, Italy
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.
I didn’t want to miss anything.
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.
Lots of salt
Prayers for a full recovery for both of them.

Disinfecting the shopping cart handle for you.
Korea, I think.
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
