50% of ICU patients have clotting problems, including strokes, but mostly damage to lower limbs.
30% of ICU patients experience kidney problems and require a consultation with a nephrologist or dialysis.
It's not as simple as "all good" vs "death".

- dannyw 7y agoThese numbers don’t account for the age distribution. It’s not reasonable to say “25% of those going to ICUs are under 50” (chances are this is probably 23% 40-45; btw), and “50% of those in ICU have clotting problems”, so “25% x 50% = 12.5%”.
- H8crilA 7y agoTrue. Note that I did not perform those multiplications because I agree that the interpretation of the results is highly speculative in nature, and can lead to possibly very incorrect conclusions. The point is like I stated: the end result is not a simple resolution between complete success or death.
