COVID19
What's the big deal? Here's my take as I learn more. Some simple numbers; assuming about 50% of people get infected, with a population of 360 million, about 180 million people in the US. The vast majority of people infected will have mild or no symptoms. These people need to STAY home and self isolate. Take over the counter agents as needed for symptoms of cold and flu.
Experts estimate about 5% of persons infected will have severe symptoms requiring hospitalizations, including ICU and mechanical ventilation. That's about 9 million people. The US does not have extra 9 million hospital beds and ventilators. We have about 1 million hospital beds in the US total, and maybe 100,000 ICU beds. The average hospital is always busy with "regular" heart attacks, strokes, cancers, infections etc. Many hospitals are deferring elective surgeries including joint surgeries etc.
Please heed the experts advise and stay home, avoid large gatherings, defer travel. Call your doctor office first, many including FirstChoice Family Medicine are offering virtual visits to limit exposure. No one could have predicted this, but here we are. More people will test positive, more people will get sick and unfortunately more people will die. People will lower immune reserves including older adults, and people with multiple chronic medical problems, suffer worse outcomes as is typically with respiratory infections including the flu. The goal of social distancing, mass closures, etc is to # flatten the curve.
