“In EVERY country this thing has hit about 10% NEED ICU. 15% to 20% NEED hospitalization.”
So you have nothing that backs up your fearmongering?
MERS and SARS are coronavirus pandemics that did not kill you, why the fearmongering?
Is the CDC fear mongering?
Several major impacts can be anticipated during a severe outbreak that could affect the operations of healthcare facilities. These include surges in patients seeking care, the potential for workforce absenteeism from personal or family illness, and effects from social distancing measures such as school closures. Healthcare facilities will likely need to adjust the way they triage, assess and care for patients using methods that do not rely on face-to-face care.
Shifting practices to triaging and assessing ill patients (including those affected by COVID-19 and patients with other conditions) remotely using nurse advice lines, provider “visits” by telephone, text monitoring system, video conference, or other telehealth and telemedicine methods can reduce exposure of ill persons with staff and minimize surge on facilities. Many clinics and medical offices already use these methods to triage and manage patients after hours and as part of usual practices. Recent reports suggest that approximately 80% of COVID-19 patients (of all ages) have experienced mild illness[i]. Managing persons at home who are ill with mild disease can reduce the strain on healthcare systems—however, these patients will need careful triage and monitoring.
The CDC footnotes a report in the Journal of American Medicine (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2762130) that states:
Mild: 81% (36 160 cases)
Severe: 14% (6168 cases)
Critical: 5% (2087 cases)
The report cited by the CDC goes on to define the terms:
However, 14% were severe (ie, dyspnea, respiratory frequency ≥30/min, blood oxygen saturation ≤93%, partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen ratio <300, and/or lung infiltrates >50% within 24 to 48 hours), and 5% were critical (ie, respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction or failure) (Box).1
Any of the SEVERE symptoms will require some type of hospitalization by today's standards. For example dyspnea means shortness of breath. Someone is not able to breathe normally. You don't get a pat on the back and sent away.
But EVEN if SEVERE means NO hospitalizations the 5% critical means that they are going to die right away without treatment. And IF the virus is ONLY as widespread as a very mild flu season THAT alone will overwhelm the medical system.
Do you understand? I'm trying to inject some reality into your thinking. It's not fear mongering. It's a warning. Are you ready for it? Your government is TELLING you it's going to happen unless there's a miracle.
