figures, i'm always late. don't never watch the news. firemen were just telling me.
So many self proclaimed disease experts out there these days calling the guy with REAL information from guys much more qualified than you or I names when he uses facts to make decisions rather than what the media and YouYube says.
The man is doomed either way...in terms of people opinion of him.
the South Korea model should have been put in place a month ago .. they are leading the world with their Track, Test, and Treat model ..
Why is this such a big deal? Seriously, its flu like symptoms. I get that it is spreading faster but so what?
I am not a bandwagoner but If I could see just one alarming symptom above what is experienced with the flu, I may be swayed to be worried even a little.
BSP, the issue like you said is the rate at which it spreads.
There are so many hospitals in the country with a certain capacity and so, so many more people. The concern is that if this isn't contained, we'll exceed our ability to treat infected patients forcing them to be with the general population instead of under hospital supervision.
If we slow down the spread over a longer durations, we can stay within our hospitals capacity.
Kind like how sipping coffee won't burn you but chugging the whole thing at once will.
Its not about the severity of the disease.
Mild in many aspects. But spreads like wildfire. And people do need to be hospitalized.
Its about a healthcare system that cannot absorb a huge influx of admittances.
Thats why the primary goal is to spread those admittances out over time. So that the hospitals can handle the load.
This is is an easy concept. You’re getting tripped up over the wrong variables:
If people cannot access hospitals then people will die UNNECESSARILY. Hospitals at maximum capacity with Covid patients cannot accept your uncle while he’s having a heart attack.
