I would be doubly surprised if it was any worse than catching the flu in any given year.

It is much worst...I was half a step away from going into ICU

Glad you didn’t get closer than that. I hope that you’re feeling much better.

i don’t mind being wrong. usually it means i’ve learned something new. but i’m sad to be wrong here. i am surprised though. i hope you’re doing okay now.

I know several people who went to the ICU the winter of 09-10 with H1N1.

My wife reads the community Facebook sites and she said that the Karen's are begging the mayor to require masks for everyone. They see the fear in the eyes of grocery store employees, everyone is terrified and still...selfish people won't wear masks. Arghh, they're so angry that that not everyone is living in fear.

^^^ Like I’ve said many times, people being led by their emotions instead of logic and can’t tell the difference.

After 3 weeks in a hospital and a month getting my O2 levels back up, I'm doing okay. Don't quite have my speed or endurance back for competition yet...having major matches delayed worked out well for me.

Just talked to a creditable source this morning and feel pretty lucky I got the early form (Asian strain). I guess local hospital beds are filling up and they are seriously looking at opening the emergency backup facility at the sports arena

I don't understand why we can't talk about all things corona in one thread?
Soon we will have 50 separate threads on states mandating masks...

Talked to a nurse this morning. The issue isn't the lack of ICU or regular hospital beds...it's the lack of hospital staffing. But the media won't tell us any of that...

Now that’s one broadly-educated nurse! She’s trained in nursey stuff, all while using her PhD in public health to actively research the impact of C19 at the national level.

Well, as of today I couldn't walk into the local Race Trac to buy a soda without having a mask on. Place looked like a ghost town at 12 noon. I don't know if the Woo Flu would get me if I went in to buy a soda (as I do about five times a week), but I'm certain it's going to speed the closure of more and more local businesses as King Retard finger paints in his downtown office trying to come up with his next way to F-over Orange County.

I'd trust her perspective on this virus over the PhD technocrats on TV any day of the week.

Im a visual person.I ran across this.Will be interesting to see this weeks "surge" added.

Businesses in NC are terrified of being fined by Cooper and the Commies. I left NC today (vacation) and before I hit the road I topped off the gas tank of the truck. Went inside to piss and get a drink. Some busybody witch pointed at me OUTSIDE and said, “Get your mask on!” Inside I was barely a few strides in when an employee started harassing me. I said, “Medical” and went to the bathroom. The cashier was going to refuse to sell me a drink if I didn’t wear a mask. I calmly explained that I’d be willing to wear one if she took personal responsibility for the lawsuit after I passed out, fell and hit my head. Freakin sheep!

Why is this important? Because in all likelihood, the actual Wuhan fatality rate is not much different from a relatively virulent seasonal flu.

The mortality rate may or may not be worse than flu.....I don't know. But, it's obviously lower than we are always told. We have been lied to constantly and it's been proven that numbers are inflated and deaths by almost any cause is being listed as a virus death and all for the $$$.

My ex wife was a RN. I can’t tell you how many times she needed to correct doctors on what medications were administered patients.

Please excuse me while I wait for your answer...I'm gonna go put up a chain-link fence to keep the mosquitoes outta my yard.

You would probably be just fine. But people in Florida are getting concerned.

A month ago, on 5/27, there were just 379 new cases reported in all of Florida. Today, there are 9592 new cases in Florida. Granted, most of them are in the 3 counties around Miami in the southern part of Florida, but 989 new cases in Orange County . That's a big jump.

Yes, and the majority of those cases are in the under 50 crowd that has been shown to be particularly resilent to the Vid. Wait until schools open up and see the explosion of new cases in the 0-14 crowd.

I threw up a flag for GA Gator a week ago, he’s not checked in a month after his last post about the effects of COVID-19 on him. No email in his profile or I would have asked him directly.

Even if so (and if so, your wife should report the gross negligence of the docs), how is that relevant to being knowledgeable of the big-picture view of her hospital’s operation, much less the same in regards to all institutions across the country?

No disrespect to your wife but the original comment sounded too much like a 16-yr-old boy expressing his interpretation of law based on some second-hand anecdotal rumor started by his dipshit friend.
