(13,539 posts)want to be trapped in my house or worse just because I happened to come in contact with someone. I kind of think the virus will blow up that system though. They won't be able to keep up with all the new cases and their contacts after awhile. It'll be a case of just letting it go and treating as many as they can.

(50,916 posts)every 3 days in the USA. That gets us to 157,000,000 cases in 8 weeks.
One hundred and fifty seven million.
With a 2% death rate, that is 3 million deaths in the USA alone.

(5,334 posts)It sure beats the low info responses of 'It's a Dem plot!' to 'We is all doomed!'
Local hospitals here in Adelaide South Australia are over-stressed at the best of times.
They don't cope well with a normal flu season, no hope at all of giving hundreds or thousands of covid-19 sufferers life saving treatment.
But the common sentiment is 'Don't worry, our health system is up for it!'
Sure, as long you forget you will be the hundredth person coming in that day with fever and struggling to breathe.
And the same thing happened yesterday, and the day before, and will happen tomorrow, and the day after. With no end in sight.

It is an Italian doctors report of what is happening in Italy
It posted yesterday and sadly documents exactly what The Math predictions states.
We must err on the side of caution if we are higher risk in order to NOT overwhelm medical capacity in our area
