The head of the Chinese hospital at the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak has become one of the latest victims dying Tuesday despite all-out attempts to save him, officials confirmed.
As director of Wuchang Hospital, Dr. Liu Zhiming led the fight to try to contain COVID-19, dedicating the hospital to treating the thousands of patients arriving every day.
It ultimately cost him his life, with Wuhans health bureau confirming that he died at 10:54 a.m. Tuesday. He was 51.

"What actually kills?" Probably pneumonia -- lungs stop functioning
due to fluid build-up. Perhaps secondary bacterial
infection too.

Some progress to cytokine storm. They seem to be doing well and then take a turn for the worse very quickly, within a day.

I’m still wearing my tinfoil hat on this “virus”.
I’m no doctor or virus expert, but it sure looks/sounds like a lab-engineered bioweapon that somehow got released...either by accident or on purpose. This is not a naturally occurring virus. IF it were, we’d have seen instances of it before by now.

How do they claim a 2-3% fatality rate when the ENTIRE family of a Chinese film director died from it. NOT a statistical reality according to the official rate. I think the fatality rate is above 50%.
If we look at the leaked numbers from tencent a week or two ago, and assume those are accurate, we can say the Chinese official numbers are 70x low on deaths, and doubly high on recoveries.
So that gives a current Chinese mortality rate of 15%(official) - 95%(extrapolated).

There are tons of naturally occurring viri that haven't been seen yet. Either they're naturally present in a population that doesn't have human contact, or they simply haven't mutated enough to cross over yet. Or, they could need special circumstances to make the infection move, that haven't come together yet. Especially RNA viri, they mutate and change quite often.

not exactly pneumonia. the pneumonia triggers something called ARDS or adult respiratory distress syndrome. The kings become very stiff and difficult to ventilate. it takes an ICU a ventilator and a lot of skill to get someone through it and the mortality rate is considerable. ARDS can be triggered by many things in including viral and bacterial pneumonias

I am betting they don’t have ecmo machines there either.
To: RobyOnekanobee
they may not but ecmo will not be the answer if this hits here. there are hoa few facilities that do it and those facilities usually only have capacity for one or two pts at a time

I read that it was possibly an immune system over response causing a cytokine storm.
To: PJ-Comix
Well, that can’t be good.
