It's not airborne but will travel 6 feet when you let loose..hence the laws of personal space being amended. Can also enter through the eyes

The people didn’t ask for this. You made me have an epiphany. Isolate the most vulnerable people and let the rest of the world continue. It’s not an STD or flesh eating. Young and healthy folks can withstand it and just chill off the scene for a couple of weeks.

This is the media’s fault with their propaganda. How much hysteria they caused made governments feel like they have to be doing something.

But anyone can get it. What if a healthy person gets it and lives with an elderly person with health issues?

It's not just that anyone can get it, but everyone can, and will, spread it.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

If you are healthy and not in the risk group you should go out and live normally. The only peoe who should be cautious are the elderly and those with comprimised immune systems.

It seems some of you rrally dont understand that keeping the economy and businesses going helps everyone who eants to self isolate because they can still get goods and services supplied to them if they order them.

Answer #1.

You've always shyt-posted in science topics but this is one where it really matters. You aren't showing any awareness of how epidemics spread. Because it is almost impossible for the elderly to go completely without social contact, they CANNOT avoid the disease if they are the only ones trying. Where do they get their food? Where do they seek medical care? Who is helping them around the house? What if they live in a nursing home?

Because you cannot absolutely ensure the elderly do not get it, the best everyone can do is slow the rate of disease. We ALL have to play a part in that, if we limit it to "just the elderly", they're fukked.

Don't even respond unless you show me you understand what those graphs mean.

You missed the part when I said isolate the most vulnerable people?

Many young people DO get extremely sick from coronavirus, even if they typically survive.

"James Cai, a 32-year-old non-smoker with no other health conditions, has been at Hackensack University Medical Center for about a week and says his illness has worsened significantly over that time. "In the beginning, they just treat me like normal flu. They say I'm young, I'm not going to die, but they don't know the truth about corona[virus]," Cai said during an interview posted to Twitter over the weekend."




And it got worse after that:

"Cai didn't respond to MedPage Today's request for an interview, but he told CBS New York that his illness progressed rapidly. He's now having trouble breathing and will likely need to be placed on a ventilator soon. He's one of 15 cases in New Jersey as of press time. "

The New Jersey health care worker who was the Garden State’s first coronavirus case says he’s unable to talk because his body is still too exhausted from battling the dangerous bug.

“My lung is still too weak. One talk could take me days to recover,” James Cai, 32, told The Post on Tuesday in a text message.

The Fort Lee physician’s assistant spoke out the day before about how he’s been “getting worse” since he was admitted last week to Hackensack University Medical Center, WCBS reported.

Though he has no underlying health issues, Cai said he’s been struggling to beat the virus, which has come with a number of symptoms.

“The virus is everything,” he told the outlet. “Diarrhea, watery eyes, shortness of breath, chest pain, you name it. High fever. … Every day is getting worse.”

Cai said that he believes he came down with the bug while attending a medical conference last weekend at the Westin in Times Square.

The New Jersey health care worker who was the state’s first coronavirus case says he’s on the mend — adding that he would be “dead and gone” had he not reached out to doctors in China about how to defeat the deadly bug.

James Cai, a 32-year-old physician’s assistant, remains hospitalized Thursday at Hackensack University Medical Center, where he’s now only experiencing a cough and fatigue after 11 days of battling the virus.

“Fortunately I have the resources and knowledge about it. I would be dead and gone already,” Cai told The Post in a text message.

He credited several Chinese doctors with helping his providers here better understand the infectious disease taking over his body.

Most medical providers here don’t know about it,” Cai said. “Medical providers need to communicate with Chinese medical teams.”

Cai said he believes that he came down with the bug while at the Westin in Times Square for a medical conference from Feb. 28 to March 2.

During the final days of the conference, he started to experience bone pain, which was followed by a cough.

He then went to a local health clinic, where they determined that his heart rate was fast, he said.

Cai was instructed to go to the hospital, where CT scans showed that he lost 50 percent of his lung function.

Doctors started to treat him like he had bacterial pneumonia, but his family was unconvinced and reached out to five Chinese doctors who studied the virus that emerged in Wuhan.

It was only with the Chinese experts’ encouragement that they agreed to perform a coronavirus test, he said.

When it came back positive, they recommended he be treated with the antimalarial medicine chloroquine and the HIV drug Kaletra.

“Chinese experts suggest to treat with medicine to slow the virus first. Don’t wait,” he said. “Definitely I would not be here today [without them].”

Cai said since he was otherwise healthy, he fears how those who are older will fare fighting the virus.

“I am young. [People who are] 40 years and above [will] definitely not be making it,” Cai said.

Young, healthy, 32yo physicians assistant and he had lost 50% of lung function.

His last paragraph balanced out the 1st paragraph..

This is why China will have a handle on this sooner than the US..Americans wont listen, will refuse to be quarantined, are all hoarding and armed to the teeth and conornavirus experts. Wont end well

What does asymptimatic have to.do with anything I said?

Lol. Panicing for the sake of panicing. Smh.

The only threat is the elderly and those who are immuno comprosmised. So arond them take precautions, and you will limit their exposure, whether you have symptoms manifesting or you dont.

You posted a wall of text that cant even address the basic point that you simply have to limit exposure of the population that can die from contracting it, not the whole populace and that can be done through thoughtful action by the majority of the population that doesnt die from contraction.

I wont look at your other post but im sure its some weirdo anti capital post, and im sure you dont want to address how it takea a healthy and.functioning economy to provide the goods and services that makes self isolating and social diatancing possible in the first place without leading to mass civil unrest due to lack of goods and services.

Enjoy your panic though, im sure you got the data. Lol

About half of France's coronavirus patients in intensive care are under 65, health official says

The Week•March 16, 2020

A French health official says warnings to stay home in the coronavirus pandemic are in some cases falling on deaf ears while noting that the virus hasn't just been posing a risk to seniors.

French health ministry official Jérôme Salomon said Monday that the situation is "deteriorating very quickly" while providing this statistic: of the between 300 and 400 coronavirus patients in intensive care in France, about half of them are younger than 65, The New York Times reports.

Salomon is looking to "dispel the notion that the virus seriously threatens only the elderly," the Times reports, and Mother Jones observes that even though the novel coronavirus is "understood to be particularly lethal among the elderly," these numbers "underscore the reality that younger generations can still face serious consequences."

Salomon also said Monday that in France, "a lot of people have not understood that they need to stay at home," and as a result, "we are not succeeding in curbing the outbreak of the epidemic," per Reuters. Most nonessential businesses in France were ordered to be closed over the weekend.

France has confirmed more than 5,400 cases of the novel coronavirus, and by Sunday, the number of deaths had risen to 127. Salomon said Monday the number of cases has been doubling "every three days."

I barely posted 50 words and you consider that a "wall of text"? Stay ignorant.

Yes, you have to "limit the exposure of the population that can die". And the way you do that is by EVERYONE practicing social distancing. You just proved you didn't even understand the graphs.

And you say, "I won't look at your other post" when it's literally about people like you getting sick.

This is what we're dealing with. Fools who ADMIT wanting to remain ignorant.
