Coronavirus - the new pandemic

[Captain Crimson]

I do feel worried for clearspira. Hasn't been here for a day now...

[Jonathan101]

Oh gods. I'm so sorry!

I think, hope he will be okay. He did say mild. And as far as I can tell, he has no conditions that could accelerate the disease, like obesity, or respiratory ailments... unless he's a smoker or lives with one.

Don't think the young and healthy are immune. Some of the highest death rates have been among our peer groups. =S

When is this the case?

Okay, I thought I remembered reading this somewhere but I can't recall the source off the top of my head. Will post it here if I find it again. >_>;;

It happens <.<

Highest death rates though? I was never under the impression that anyone is immune.

Well, they did say "some of" the highest, not "the highest".

Well I did generalize it by making it plural.

Neither of these two links supports Fuzzy's claim. In fact, the second contradicts him.

Frankly I don't care so much about squabbling over dry statistics. I'm just very concerned for another member of this board, and so soon after I joined up... it would suck.

AFAIK even the age brackets this hits hardest usually survive this, fortunately. I'll hope for and expect the best, of course.

You mean the statistics indicating the probability of that person's recovery? Not sure what's so dry about that.

Doing some quick regression from the US data, it could get very grim. Or it might start turning around next week. See you next week when I check the figures again.

So last week I said I'd check the figures again, and well, it looks like the US is still tracking Italy. Top blue line is Spain, lower blue line is US.

Yep. Though some locations might be starting to see turn-around, notably New York. Knock on wood!

I get the feeling that what I recieve you saying, is not what you actually want to send. Let me hint you at the age statistics of the corona-related deaths in New York:



Also, it has been rumored for a while, but doctors actually have acknowledged now, that a notable amount of recovered patients which only had mild symptoms ended up with serverly damaged lung-tissue, which is unlikely to recover. A particular case is a group of ~40 year old hobby divers, who had no known pre-conditions and barely had trouble due to Corona (they were so ok that they were only quarantined at home on a voluntary basis). Doctors are shocked about their lung-CTs and don't expect a recovery, leaving them unable to ever again do their sport. (Can't provide a source, as it's only in German.)
Along the way, ending up on a ventilator seems to be a primer for your soon-to-be-death, regardless of everything else. Doctors from a clinic in Innsbruck (Germany) reported, that patients that only recieved a good dose of oxygen to help them (via mask only), completely unexpectedly had to be intubated and hooked to a breathing maching in intensive care just mere hours later, because of a severe cessation of lung-function.
