Its always been a powderpuff from day one. intervention or not
The Case fatality Rate is well less than 1%. I think its closer to 0.5%. Still not great, but a Powderpuff in my books My figures are based off the Diamond Princess where everyone was tested. (several times) Approximately 700 infected and 8 deaths. The reason why i say less than 1% is because the average age on the ship was 58 years including all staff. The death rate among those over 70 was an incredible 9%. When you graph it out the death rate falls between 0.7-0.3%.
Having said this so far people have had access to the best medical available. There were plenty of ventilators to go around. So intervention plays a role. Some mild cases if not treated properly can evolve into secondary infections, so dont hear me wrong. I'm not saying she'll be right. I'm saying good communication and we get through this relatively unscathed
My gut feeling is we will soon be able to manage this virus. The medical fraternity will be able to provide care. Some countries better than others. I think its going to be prolonged, but i think it will be something we just manage until we forget about it.
It will taper very soon. 3-4 weeks
I still want to ride through the center of the city while its empty. I want a damn shut down, if only for that reason...
