This is no surprise. The President and his team said this would happen the last few days. There are many more being tested now then there has been before. Many many more. What we’re seeing right now is a total rise in positive results. BUT it usually takes 4 to 6 weeks from onset until death to occur so all these newly discovered cases don’t have an outcome yet.
I heard 5 days to onset of symptoms and then 15 additional days to death, on average for those who die.
Yes. Now that they are testing, we will see who and how many have it and the death rate.
Our older neighbor (70s) had the COVID — developed bilateral pneumonia with Oxygen Sat at 85 (!!) and was in ICU for several days. He responded well to his own CPAP in the ICU and he was on antibiotics. Did not have to be intubated! Amazing.
He was sent home and has recovered. His wife has remained completely healthy this whole time. She was not permitted in the hospital. I was quarantined for 2 weeks due to my contact with them. I am totally fine.
