M.O.B. Votes:

but there are tens of thousands of afflicted, and from that it can be extrapolated how many afflicted were hospitalized. It doesn't take the entire population to know this, just as we don't know the entire population of those with the flu, but yet can still make reasonably accurate ranges.

To say there aren't significant, serious impacts is foolish. That's because the moment we get a critical mass (1 million or so) infected in the U.S., we are going to see a massive overload of the ERs in this country.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Some people call hospitalization a significant, serious - DC Jayhawk KU - 3/12 09:15:58

And for those who need hospitalization it is - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 09:18:53

I believe it's around 2-5% of afflicted - DC Jayhawk KU - 3/12 09:22:39

The entire point being at this time we don't have any - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 09:25:12

I didn't say it was a simple flu - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 08:53:16

I think the point is the division that has been prevalent - eatatjoes MU - 3/12 08:49:25

15.000 lies make credibility difficult - I was just REALLY - raskolnikov MU - 3/12 08:55:55

The division didn't start in 2016 - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/12 08:52:38

Which is why I said "several" years(nm) - eatatjoes MU - 3/12 08:54:34

That is a fair assessment - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 08:52:02

Both sides need to cool it(nm) - eatatjoes MU - 3/12 08:55:10

Agreed - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 08:55:35

Was it the right move?(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/12 08:54:07

Absolutely - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 08:55:08

It did very little - meatiger MU - 3/12 08:57:11

The majority of cases that showed up in the US - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/12 09:05:11

It undoubtedly slowed the rate of spread - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 08:59:06

There is zero proof of that - meatiger MU - 3/12 09:01:13

OK - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 09:02:59

We built an atomic bomb we can cure coronavirus - mu7176grad MU - 3/12 08:48:57

Death is considered a serious effect - Da_Haze KC - 3/12 08:37:14

The problem is - meatiger MU - 3/12 08:49:37

You bet it has - the panic is creating very real effects - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 08:54:24

Well - meatiger MU - 3/12 08:56:09

It is a big deal - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 08:57:48

I am not sure - meatiger MU - 3/12 08:59:52

A 2% death rate is fairly high - Da_Haze KC - 3/12 08:44:35

And at this point most all would agree we don't know - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 08:45:29

Correct. (nm) - tman MU - 3/12 08:46:04

why are stuck on mortality rate? - ashtray UF - 3/12 08:42:42

Because mortality rate is a key indicator of how serious - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 08:44:35

not everyone that goes to the hospital dies - ashtray UF - 3/12 08:46:17

But if fear can be alleviated with facts about the nature - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 08:48:19

when people can't breath they're going to the hospital - ashtray UF - 3/12 08:49:18

Seriously - meatiger MU - 3/12 09:11:36

Very few of those with the virus have trouble breathing - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 09:14:36

If a doctor is making a decision - meatiger MU - 3/12 09:16:31

Doctors are also subject to the lack of information - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 09:21:28

50% of cases in Italy have required hospitalization (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/12 09:09:05

And that would appear not to be the case elsewhere - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 09:15:20

Ashtray is giving you facts - meatiger MU - 3/12 09:17:23

Yes, but why are 50% in the hospital? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 09:23:17

Given that the hospitals are overflowing - meatiger MU - 3/12 09:28:15

The overflow is almost certainly out of an abundance of - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 09:47:23

Same time, many don't need to go to the hospital - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/12 08:48:00

and those people won't go to the hospital - ashtray UF - 3/12 08:50:14

Take the medicine they already have - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/12 08:51:36

It didnt intially(nm) - tman MU - 3/12 08:48:41

His point is that we eventually found that was the rate - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 08:46:15

Yes, those statistics are known after the pandemic - Sal MU

And why? Panic based on fear and perception rather than - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/12 08:49:12
