Turned 71 in February.
They say 70 is the new 50. To me 70 was the new 80.

Hospital ships and MASH units being activated, …

I think that CRUISE ships have a LOT more beds than hospital ships!

Comfort is more advanced than a field hospital but less capable than a traditional hospital on land.

Since it’s an upper respiratory disease, the description you cited was pretty accurate

ACE2 protein is expressed bilaterally in the low areas of the lung where this virus binds.

Are you saying COVID-19 (China Plague) is a upper respiratory illness? Do you know where else it infects?

I was referring to the other poster’s comment to equating Covid-19 to a cold in the most superficial way. I wasn’t submitting a peer reviewed study.
