All my medical colleagues kept saying this was bad. In the first cohorts of patients, 10-20% needed ICU level care. I have privy to the latest peer reviewed guidelines for medicine and had a double take when I read the initial complications: 19.6% Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). ARDS has a supportive type of treatment, which means that we give you all the basics for life and hope that you pull through. It's the last resort of care. It's only ~150 people, that statistics might be off. Then the cohort study came out that was looking at 44k patients. It lined up with the first cohort so close you could consider it a rounding error. Folks, get mentally ready to know someone that will die because of this. Luckily, almost everyone in this thread will be alive, but those that have diabetes, cancer, coronary artery disease, and the elderly are the ones who will have poor outcomes because of it. >http://weekly.chinacdc.cn/en/article/id/e53946e2-c6c4-41e9-9a9b-fea8db1a8f51 http://weekly.chinacdc.cn/en/article/id/e53946e2-c6c4-41e9-9... >https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32031570-clinical-characteristics-of-138-hospitalized-patients-with-2019-novel-coronavirus-infected-pneumonia-in-wuhan-china/?dopt=Abstract https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32031570-clinical-characteri... >https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31986264-clinical-features-of-patients-infected-with-2019-novel-coronavirus-in-wuhan-china/?dopt=Abstract https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31986264-clinical-features-o... >https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32007143-epidemiological-and-clinical-characteristics-of-99-cases-of-2019-novel-coronavirus-pneumonia-in-wuhan-china-a-descriptive-study/?dopt=Abstract https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32007143-epidemiological-and...
