Some people think they have symptoms or are just overly cautious and run off to the ER instead of calling ahead. That takes its toll on resources whether you are really sick or not. |

For the US, if they enforced a Hubei-style lockdown? Two months. But at this point, it's all over the country. The question is how many hot spots there are (NY, Seattle) and how bad they get. The other thing one must consider is the possibility that China and South Korea are not done. The 1918 flu came back around and was much deadlier the second time. We must also consider the extent to which SARS-CoV-2 becomes as endemic in human population as influenza due to antigenic drift (viral mutation causing a new strain each year). |

Didn't E-Dave say he had it (or likely had it)? How many days in is he and how is he doing?

I'm on the fence about proclaiming that. I was hopeful that was the case once we started hearing of cases, because that would mean it isn't as jarring as we thought it might be.
However, now that I've seen what is happening in other countries and it starting to overload their healthcare system it couldn't have been here very long at least in community spread. If it had, our ICU's would have been overloaded already. If it really did come from the live markets in Wuhan in November. And it wasn't heavily prevalent in Wuhan until December. I don't see how all of these rumors of community spread in December and January in the United States would be true. Last edited by BWillie; 03-17-2020 at 07:03 PM.. |

I thought that I was going to be in the hospital. I am better and over it but my breathing never did come back to what it was before that "illness". |
