CORONAVIRUS MEGATHREAD, COMMENT HERE AND ONLY HERE ON .WIN ABOUT ANY CORONA NEWS
Lmao. Reeeeeeeeeeee.
Swine flu, 60 million infected in the USA, 12k dead. Somehow we survived!
Why do you keep refusing to understand that this is different??? This is more lethal. Also, this is a disease that, for the people who land in the ICU, they are typically there for 2-8 weeks. This is also more contagious than the flu. So you've got a limited number of ICU beds, and those beds are being occupied for weeks at a time before they are available again. Hospitals in Italy are admitting patients faster than they are discharging patients. Do the math; it doesn't work. We already know that we don't have enough ICU/ventilators in the US; this is why Trump is offering to help states purchase additional ones, so that we can try and stand a fighting chance. We run the same risk as Italy, if we can't slow down the spread so that the hospitals don't get overwhelmed.
Swine flu didn’t threaten to overwhelm our hospitals, this does. You don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t attack you for choosing to go to work, I respectfully asked you to take care to avoid at risk populations since you are choosing not to follow Trump’s guidelines. Your response was fucking disgusting.
LOL 60 MILLION INFECTED.
Can you please explain how we have enough ventilators to handle this? Can you explain why what's happened to Italy, definitely won't happen here? And can you explain how, if this is a regular flu, Italy's hospitals are running out of space? Can you explain why US hospital nurses/doctors are already noticing that this is different from anything they've faced before, and that they are noticing their beds rapidly filling up with COVID patients who will be occupying those beds for weeks? Can you please explain how this is just the same as a regular flu, when there are many people in their 30s without any underlying conditions coming in with scans showing severe lung damage?
Wake up. I don't understand why you're making these immature comments, laughing this off. How many hospitals will need to be overwhelmed before you admit you're wrong?
We have THREE TIMES the hospital capacity per capita than Italy, and the majority of people that are admitted are elective surgeries which can be suspended in times of emergency.
BUT ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AHHHHH
