Yup, I elaborated on that in the latter paragraph.

the Coronavirus outbreak thread

Those would be the ones who contracted lower respiratory disease, right? Such as pneumonia. That stat lines up with the converse: 70-80% who recover have no long-term health issue...sort of what Fauci has been saying. The mortality rates need parsing to a level I have only seen once. In other words, parsed by prior underlying immunodeficiency, prior health issue (like diabetes, COPD, etc), and age. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

That’s a good call if there are too many unknowns in your situation. I’m heading to a race we didn’t cancel. But I looked at the entry list and no drivers/crew from coronavirus hotspots - more regional teams. 200 or so. I’d prolly do as you did - but too many Stewards have had to drop out due to age & health profiles. And we have folks still in Australia and many were headed to Sebring so gotta do the better work for the spirit of the sport and still stay as safe as possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

That's never good, but the good news here is that fibrosis of the lungs can happen as a result of any infection fo the lungs including pneumonia. So not just pneumonia caused by SARS-COV-2. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-...s/syc-20353690 |

I imagine there aren't mass tests, because it would result in even the most mild symptoms demanding potentially unnecessary in-patient care and overwhelming the hospital system. If that happened, there wouldn't be enough capacity for the in-patient care of the most serious cases, let alone normal illnesses and injuries. Not just the US, but really any hospital system in the world because of their "just in time" delivery method. Just like a company with inventory and pushing it to the last second, hospitals don't run extra beds that aren't typically used in order to cut sunk costs. Problem is when pandemics happen there then isn't enough capacity in some cases.

Why hospitalised though if mild? It would be a way of knowing who was infected but wouldn’t necessarily mean hospitalisation. In the U.K. confirmed mild cases can self isolate, but you only seem to get tested if you are someone of importance here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The important part is knowing whether you are infected and can infect others. Otherwise, we might move through life as carriers, blissfully unaware as we potentially pass the virus on to people in high-risk categories.

Spain will be locked down tomorrow. Hospitals are overwhelmed, we've got to stay home to prevent the virus from spreading and cause total collapse.
We'll get through this if we're careful, use our common sense and stay calm. We've got to stop any unnecessary physical contact between each other. To all people around the world, if we act together we're stronger. We need to take care of our elders who are more vulnerable to this. Stay home. Things will get back to normal if we make it happen. |

Bingo. Even the people who yell the loudest “we have to do something” will ignore the advice if it inconveniences them.

the Coronavirus outbreak thread
In testing...
In China, studies reported in the journal Radiology showed they aren’t always definitive. False negatives comprised 3% of the patient population. The study authors noted that RT-PCR tests may produce false negatives due to laboratory error, insufficient amount of viral material collected, samples stored or handled improperly, if the patient is tested too early in the course of infection, and improper sampling. We should still be testing - just not so fixated in that issue. If the panic over lack of testing will abate, and if people presumptively treat any symptoms as if they were COVID-19, we would have better controls over the spread. Of course, presuming they follow the hygiene, isolation and social distancing processes. So lack of testing itself isn’t widening the spread as much as poor common sense imho.
