Countries that are overwhelmed will have a fatality rate between ~3%-5% Put in another way: Countries that act fast can reduce the number of deaths by a factor of ten. And that’s just counting the fatality rate. Acting fast also drastically reduces the cases, making this even more of a no-brainer. Countries that act fast reduce the number of deaths at least by 10x. 2 Link to comment

I can't find it now but statistics out of New York are showing 40% of hospitalization are between 18-44. Only 3% of the deaths there have been people under 30 I believe but the middle age range was pretty high, though 50% of deaths were people over 70. Link to comment

I just hope they have health insurance still covered through their contract houses. I know some people who really need it... saw on Nightline that Ford is crossing over to producing ventilators...and are retooling presently. They hope to put 7 of 10 back on the production line 1 Link to comment

knapplc Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 I would watch a "How It's Made" on the retooling of those production lines. That can't be just plug-and-play changes. Some decent engineering problems probably have to be solved. 1 Link to comment
