This disease can take a sudden turn for the worse, if you’re home you may hope it’ll pass rather than rush back to the hospital. By the time you realize it’s not passing, it may be too late. Self monitoring is a lousy position to be in with this disease.
There was an EMT from NYC on Fox News. She said that most of the calls had symptoms which were not critical, so they would not bring the patient to the hospital. But most of the critical cases they did bring in would not survive.
like telling your spouse you totaled the car when in reality you had a small fender bender....
I think people lie about the numbers...pretty sure of it infact...
so buy ahead if you see sales....
where is that information from?....
The rate of deaths/cases was 1.6% a week ago and is up to 2.7% today.

Hmmm...well, a week ago the Phase 3 wasn’t law; this week it is law. And a lot has been said in the last week about HOSPITAL REIMBURSEMENTS. Have you ever seen the final hospital bills for an admission that leads to a gradual death? They are huge. If the person’s death was attributed to COVID-19, the hospital is golden with 100% reimbursement whether the patient had insurance or not. Deaths not attributed to COVID-19 will have many final bills ending up being at least partially written off. SEE ANY MOTIVATION TO PUT COVID-19 ON THE DEATH CERTIFICATE?
Agreed,

Trump should not mention numbers. Let the so-called “experts” sell their snake oil of doom to the masses.
I have more trust in the Magic Eight Ball. There’s even an iOS app for it!
They seem to be the “best models available”, but as the Task Force folks have been telling us - the models can be altered by people either taking proper precautions or by people ignoring precautions...ignoring them raises the model estimates and taking them lowers the predicted death toll...they have added some sanity by acknowledging that the models are really best guess deals based on available data and that they give parameters that we can affect.
Florida...north central.
Case to death ratios for other countries look unreliable to me. It has probably to do with whata case is.
Since death from this thing is the scary thing, that’s all I look at, and even deaths in other countries seem suspect.
If the total deaths in the US are going to fall below 50,000 we should know soon.
I agree it isn’t ideal, but I don’t know how the hospitals should really do anything differently. They need the space and staff to deal with more severe cases.
I wouldn’t want to be sent home with it.
I see; I’d imagine you’ll have hotspots in FL, just not near you. Some of the spring breakers coming back up here have it, though they may have brought it down there with them.
I actually believe when this clears prices may dip; people have really stocked up on some items, and big stores will need to lure people back (after recent unpleasant experience there).
Honestly, how much can we eat?
>>>In the 1970s we were all going to die in the upcoming ice age. Then we were going to run out of petroleum. Manhattan was predicted to be under water by 2015. A Swedish teenage said we only have 12 more years on the planet.

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

I would add what passes for journalism today also.
Sara Huckabee says in a tweet last night that lab tests from yesterday show ivermectol Cures this crap half of Europe is trying to order it right now ... com name sromectol .. approved for 30yrs .... to fight pin worms and lice
Using some old medications to fight this thing. The more antidotes the better!
