It's more likely that the tests that cleared him were false negatives.

The GP was talking about NSAIDS and you're posting about blood pressure medicine. There are similarities, but still.

It's not just death rate, but the rate at which it becomes severe. South Korea's severe case rate is also much lower than other countries. The most likely explanation is that Korea is catching more mild cases that other countries

A few maybe, but there haven't been large numbers of additional pneumonia deaths beyond those attributed to coronavirus.

15-20% don't require hospitalization. More were hospitalized to be monitored, but only about 40/705 infected from the Diamond Princess ever progressed to serious condition. And the population of cruise ships skews older.

Yes this happens, but for the flu we have done large scale antibody studies, so we have an idea that for every x number of people who get treated, y number are actually infected. The problem is we don't have the same data for this viru

China is still testing aggressively. If the number of active cases were expanding, much less expanding exponentially, the number of reported cases would be more than a handful per day. It's a pretty good assumption to make.

by learc83 7y ago
China has moved the R0 below 1 through some combination of behavior changes, else the number of active cases wouldn't be going down. If they can keep it below 1, it will die out. It's possible there are many more unknown cases, bu

Well the number of active cases in China is dropping every day, so it's not an assumption, it's just math.
705.
by learc83 7y ago
The number of active cases is down from the peak China. If it continued like this without imported cases the virus would die out as each new infection infects fewer than 1 other person.

by learc83 7y ago
It's not just no longer exponential. The number of active cases is China is in decline. How long they can keep that going is debatable. But as of right now they are effectively stopping it.

Even if it is possible, there's no evidence that shows that asymptomatic transmission is common enough to be a significant factor.

I can't respond to whether people need to use a nebulizer or not, but nebulizers can be used at home with basically zero training. Or they can be administered by minimally trained workers in tent hospitals.

It wasn't failed isolation procedures like the title implies. He likely infected people before he was quarantined. We also don't even know that he was patient zero--he was just the first one diagnosed.

That's just them reporting the number of deaths/confirmed cases it's not an attempt at estimating the actual mortality rate among the general population.

The data can't support your 20% hospitalization claim though, and no one in public health is using that study to make that claim. The study itself makes no such claims that this study is in any way applicable to the general population.

Based on confirmed cases. There are likely far more cases that haven't been tested.

On the people on the Diamond Princess there are 36 critical cases + 6 dead. So 42/705 infected, so 6% likely needed to be hospitalized. But, the demographics skewed older than the general population, and there were 3200 people on boa
