Mar 20, 2020Vae1. The virulence (R0) of SARS-CoV-2 is estimated between 1.4-6.49, with a mean estimate of 3.28^[1] . This mean estimate is much higher than the seasonal flu, which has an R0 of 1.3^[2] . What this means is that SARS-CoV-2 spreads signficantly faster than the seasonal flu.
2. The Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of SARS-CoV-2 is at least 2-3%^[3] . This is 20-30 times higher than the CFR of the season flu, which is around .1%^[4] .
3. SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted without the infected showing any symptoms^[5] . This makes it much more difficult to control.
4. Roughly 20% of SARS-CoV-2 infections result in serious symptoms that require medical intervention^[6] . This is more than 10 times the hospitalization rate of the seasonal flu^[7].
5. Symptoms from SARS-CoV-2 can persist over a month^[8] compared to the seasonal flu where symptoms typically tend to clear after 5 days^[9] .
6. There is no vaccine for SARS-CoV-2^[10] whereas people regularly get annual flu shots.
7. There is no herd immunity for SARS-CoV-2 which means that it can theoretically infect the entire population. See, for example, a Korean psychiatric department where the virus infected 99/102 people.
Now, consider the multiplicative effect that all of these attributes have for the virus. Compared to the seasonal flu, SARS-CoV-2 (1) spreads faster; (2) kills far more; (3) is harder to control; (4) requires use of far more medical resources; (5) for far longer a period of time; (6) has no effective treatment; and (7) can infect entire populations.
These factors mean that SARS-CoV-2, if left unchecked, is far more likely to overwhelm a country's medical infrastructure. Additionally, when medical infrastructure is overwhelmed, the CFR will skyrocket because we know that 20% of cases require medical intervention.
It doesn't take a genius to piece it all together. This virus is potentially devastating if containment measures fail. Far worse than the seasonal flu.
got this s*** on copy and paste for all these dum dums saying "its just the flu"

can tell he's really stressed atm (as am I) and our countries negligence to do anything isn't helping
Give this to your dad to help practice his breathing, This man actually saved David Abel who almost died from corona In japan (he was on a cruise ship) . He refused ventilator and used breathing techniques from this method. David was able to boost his lung capacity in 48 hours when he used this method. It can’t hurt

Ellinia 🍰Mar 20, 2020·2 repliesHITSLIKEDIETCOKEWait, I thought it was spread by droplet. Like someone coughs and then you touch your nose or mouth
Yea droplet infection. Droplets can be really small though. So when someone coughs and you're near and inhale a droplet could end up coming in contact with one of your mucus membranes is how I understood it. Also I think they discovered it can stay up in the air long after being coughed/sneezed out as well.

https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/20/what-is-coronavirus-how-did-it-start-and-what-is-the-mortality-rate
Bro read your article again, that less than 1% figure is literally speculation whereas the 3.4% figure also mentioned in the article is based on the current figures of deaths per confirmed cases. Guesstimating that many more people have it than reported, thus it has a lower death rate isn't reliable.
