I honestly think the number of people that have this right now is yuge. Way more than we think. That means it really isn't as deadly as they are saying...if this is true.

ford_428cj Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 How can some people have no symptoms - then others get hospitalized. Virus targets certain genetic codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virus targets certain genetic codes? Not sure anybody knows but it does seem to target certain groups more than others...African Americans in New Orleans are being hit hard but then again that may have to do with underlying conditions like diabetes and hypertension. I also read something about Southern Europeans being more susceptible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fucking thing is mutating all the time but once point of care testing becomes available it will greatly slow the spread and give researchers time to develop a vaccine.

It could have been and that makes China hiding things so much more dangerous to the world. May 7, 2003 (CIDRAP News) – The World Health Organization (WHO) today estimated the overall fatality rate for SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) patients at 14% to 15%, significantly higher than previous estimates. The agency estimated the rate for people older than 64 years to be more than 50%. The revised WHO estimates, based on data from four countries, came on the heels of a Lancet article in which researchers studied case records from Hong Kong and calculated a case-fatality ratio as high as 55% for patients aged 60 and older http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2003/05/estimates-sars-death-rates-revised-upward Edited April 7, 2020 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got back, not a lot of voters, we were #10 & #11, they are only allowing 2 at a time in the Town hall, when we left there was a line outside under 4 canopy's, it's raining too.., I live in a very low populated Town and lots of Snowbirds haven't returned yet...The Stores were rather busy, even the Feed Mills had a few folks buying Dog treats as were we, Walmart was a zoo..Hand sanitizer was available at Walmart, we bought 1 12 oz. bottle and 2 small bottles for our Trucks.

Ive heard the number of visits to the hospitals for things like heart attacks and strokes are way down. People are so afraid of getting the coronavius that they aren't going to the hospital until it is too late. I agree. Going in too late because they are afraid is probably a big factor. Normal early symptom checkups are a pain too. Many clinics are closed to normal business. How long do you wait before it's too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
