There's an animated timeline graph out there that shows why Covid-19 is more dangerous than SARS even though SARS has a higher mortality rate. The infection rate of Covid-19 due to the asymptomatic contagiousness, long incubation time, and long period of recovery that requires hospitalization for two weeks makes this especially insidious and dangerous for healthcare systems even if it's mortality rates are a "pedestrian" 1-3.5% compared to more lethal pathogens that tend to burn bright, but burn out quickly.

From the comments that article might be fake. I deleted my post. I’m going to be more careful and not post any more linked in articles w/o confirming.

Im basing it on the fact that, fatality wise, the swine flu affected everyone and the corona virus is affecting only the elderly. |

Is that mortality rate world wide or just here in America?

That’s your prerogative. But the “experts” have been wrong many times through out history. I see no harm in questioning them. In fact, I believe it to be quite healthy to throw out counter ideas. That is actually how we learn new things, by questioning the official line.

The protease inhibitors could work if the viral protease is similar to HIV's, but all work has been in vitro at this point. Much different than trying in humans. |

Resolved cases rates are hovering around 6% worldwide. That's deaths divided by recoveries. Overall death rates were around 3.5%, but thats problematic because we have a divisor issue. There's no way to tell how many people have it currently. The issue is the load placed on the healthcare system and the secondary and preventable deaths that will cause that wouldn't be an issue in normal circumstances. America has about 2.8 beds per thousand people, and not all of those beds are in hospitals equipped to handle novel and high contagious diseases like Covid-19. Last I checked there are about 200 Trauma I hospitals in the US, and another 200 Trauma II hospitals. These are the hospitals that will be bearing the brunt of the cases. Here's an issue, though - those beds are already running at about 40-60% capacity. So we've got room for maybe 300-500k cases nationwide before shit hits the fan.
