They've told mild cases to stay at home. I would suspect even some bad cases never see a hospital and just ride it out. As they would have no clue what is bad and what isn't. Since no one will ever see them to tell them.

The way hospitals are dealing with this from what we've been hearing about in the last month just doesn't add up.

Exactly this, it’s happening in other countries too, you could have the China flu and have no symptom and get hit by a car and they would say the cause of death was China flu,

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if you could be perfectly healthy, get hit by a car, and have cause of death listed as China flu.

Taco Bell has subtly become one of the healthiest fast-food chains

Interesting Pres. Trump wants to separate hospital funding from other relief bills.

Where I work our timecard is coded "covid" if anyone is swabbed they are in isolation until results come in. We has been consistently over staffed. So far only 2 patients have come back positive.

Nope. Something definitley smells. Japan for instance, has a population of 126 mil. Only has ~100 deaths. Doesn't make any sense.

The Japanese do have a different reaction to being sick than we do, by having a higher social cohesion and homogeneity.

The Japanese wear masks as a matter of fact if they're 'feeling bad' to prevent it from spreading to their family/friends/coworkers, while we in America just pop a 'feel better pill' and go on with our lives to spread whatever we might have.

The Japanese are cleanfreaks and use hand sanitizers and wash hands quite a bit, while we in America statistically don't.

They also have bad blood with China, worse than we have, so they didn't fall for the 'Chinese-virus is racist' bullshit and jumped on isolating it like a starving dog on a well cooked steak.

Ok then explain India. More than a billion people. Only 273 deaths.

Literally everyone in India takes anti-malaria meds.

That, I have no idea about. Considering their proximity to China, they should be overrun with cases but they aren't reporting those kind of numbers.

living in india must make anyone basically immune against everything

I also heard the virus is less active in hot areas. India is pretty hot, right?

Also, constantly breathing the fumes of shit-smeared streets might have boosted their immune systems over the years? Just a thought.

India isn't testing people. Look it up. You can't have confirmed cases if you're not testing them. We ramped up our testing 100 fold in the past two weeks, hence why things shot up. Plus in many low risk areas, the tests can take 7-15 days to process, so we're seeing people who got sick almost two weeks ago now get confirmed

Japenese people are also very nationalistic. They're just very protective of their culture, and are quite homogeneous as a nation. They have pretty strict immigration laws.

Plus Japan used some pretty draconian methods to slow the spread. Same with South Korea, where they literally doxxed people who were sick. Meanwhile my county won't even tell you the last 10 places the sick people were.

It all comes down to how things were handled. Like those asking about India, well they just aren't testing like we are. Nowhere close. Truth is things are probably not so good there, or they're still in the early phase of the spread

What about asymptomatic spread?

Actually "mild" vs "severe" has been defined pretty well from the very beginning. Mild means you can't get admitted to the hospital. Severe means you're so bad you have little chance of surviving; pneumonia. Nothing in between. So Cuomo decided that "mild" gets sent home with no treatment or maybe an inhaler designed to control asthma which is NOT what this is, and you may never be able to make it back for help if you do need it. And severe means you suffer and die in the hospital even though 9 million pills of HCQ were donated to the US and there was plenty for everyone who was infected, but only 1100 people got any. So New Yorkers panicked and fled, spreading this all over the Country.

As a patient, you're absolutely correct. Without a Dr telling you you're in really bad shape this is really serious, most people would never know. Once you continuously have trouble breathing for a couple days, you don't have much of a way to gauge how much worse you're getting; struggling to breathe is struggling to breathe.

The only thing that adds up about any of this is our Governors are mass murderers. Maybe not all of them, but most. Certainly many that haven't announced this as official policy like the Governors of NY, MI and Nevada did. To tell about your own State, just look at the numbers reported for how many people recovered. On Trump pills most people recover in 6 days. That doesn't mean literally every death was preventable, but most were since all breathing problems are gone in 2 days.

Apparently big mistake Italy made was have everyone show up at the hospital.

Brucesky420 2 points ago +2 / -0

and their shitty healthcare, but we'll talk about that later. But it's quite funny these countries who have been rated to have far better healthcare than the US seem to have much higher death rates. Strange, almost like it's all just propaganda about how great things are over there

This 250 bed hospital will never open or will be closed within a week.
