People don’t realize, the guys who do this stuff are at USAMRIID. None of us in clinical or most research have anything to do with them or have even seen them since med school. Sure we are aware of what has happened in recent decades, but i really do believe most of us have felt China’s problem was a terrible Ro due to their environment. We never thought that this disease could come here. I certainly didn’t.
I have a family member who was doing combat psychology across the Fort from them. She never knew what they were doing and it was a completely different area...but she said they were creepy. LOL.
Wait until we see the citizen journalist videos start to pop up. All they have on the networks are the typical TV Docs. As soon as a morgue gets full, all bets are off.
Interestingly, going into this...most morgues were mostly full in Urban hospitals because of the flu. Having a hospital need temp facilities is not a sign that its out of control. Its a sign that a lot of people die at home or hospice...not in the hospital. Our morgues are not that big.
I put the Ro on this bug at about 2.7.
