This is a simple and excellent graph that illustrates how
the response to the coronavirus issue is being handled.

The idea that it can be 100% contained is unrealistic.
It's going to spread .... as it has.

The goal is to control as much as possible the rate
that it spreads so the healthcare facilities and systems
are not overwhelmed.

The peak (in orange) is what happened in China.
The goal of the CDC is the second peak.

Despite all the hype, fears and finger-pointing
(political) this graph is spot on.

Hopefully, Trump’s mismanagement and lies about corona virus will sink his
stinking ship.

Heard this morning news that the death rate is 10x flu rate.

Heard this morning news that the death rate is 10x flu rate.

Based on what? There is no good estimate of the denominator. For many folks, the symptoms are no
worse than a cold, and the illness never gets reported. Of course, those facts don't assist in
Trump-bashing, so not mentioned.

Faux news? Was a news report. The flu this year seems to be nasty
version. Wife seems to have flu, and we had flu shots. Doctor on video
chat figured flu. COVID is a version of SARS, so most likely the death
rate is higher. And older people have more breathing problems anyway.

We're losing 4-10K per month to the flu. Doesn't make the news though. Not a good source of
Trump-bashing.

But look at the percentage. 34 million cases with 20 thousand deaths is
..05%. cOVID-19 is 1-8% deaths. 34 million at 2% would be 680,000 deaths.

Maybe it is time to go rent a 300 cu/ft oxygen tank and buy a medical
regulator or two. Having oxygen might make the difference between
living or dying if you get sick. I have a full 80 and a 20 in the
garage but I am not sure how long they last. I do have the regulators
and flow gauges too.

COVID-19 seems a lot more serious than the flu, especially for older
people and those with certain already existing conditions. Pooh-poohing
it, as some Trumpsters do, is just more of their absurdity.

I've never tried "video chat" to consult with a doctor. Are you pleased
with the experience and results? If I visit my doc for any reason, I get
prodded and poked, my BP, Blood Oxy are checked and she/he listens to my
heart/lungs. Hard to do that from afar, and what if you need a blood test?
