Pretty sure that whole collapsing on the street thing is completely psychosomatic though.
Because that's really not what pneumonia does.

Still a lovely situation though. That country absolutely can't catch a break :(

Respiratory and heart failure are both known complications that can result from pneumonia.

I would imagine that you would be laid up in the hospital long before reaching that point, though.

Again from my limited knowledge of how this works, isn't the fact that its a new type of virus that the body has trouble identifying have a part to play in people collapseing?

Eg:people feel semi ok/ very fatigued up until it gets very serious as the effects of the immune response are not kicking in thus giving the infected a clear sign they are sick?

it's probably just a sign that there are a ton of sick people wandering around without access to medical care and at some point they faint while in public

but in any case - this is like if poo poo is hitting the fan in slow-mo, this is the moment where the poo poo has firmly collided with the fan and is about to be sprayed outwards. poo poo's gonna get messy next week

I can assure you it's not because of the Corona virus. I suggest checking the middle east thread if you want to know why Turkey doesn't want millions more refugees flooding into their country on top of the 3-4 million they already have.

so you're saying that millions of refugees flooding into europe this week is not relevant to the coronavirus situation?

instead of asking random people if some random person is trustworthy i looked through his previous tweets; he is obviously an iranian living abroad in contact with his family and some others still in the country. most of what he posted was previously reported by other sources and nothing seems too outlandish. i would take it as another data point in addition to what we already know for certain, such as multiple members of parliament getting sick. exaggerated, almost certainly, but probably not an outright lie or fabrication

There’s no way to prevent being infected. Odds are you’re infected already. You probably won’t die.

That said, I think putting people in quarantine or self imposed isolation will merely time delay the severity of the outbreak. We should really just get it over with because the system isn’t prepared to deal with it in any capacity anyway. People are scared about being infected as if there’s even a way they can prevent themselves from getting sick in the first place. Given what we know about the spread, it’s literally impossible to avoid infection. People should be preparing for what they’re going to do when they get sick, not if. Masks are useless in this scenario.

I hate this sort of attitude.
I vaguely remember reading about campaigns in the UK promoting about basic hygiene to prevent flu, and it really brought the numbers of infections down.
Only a small % of people get the flu yearly and it would be a lot lower if people weren't total dicks about it 'being inevitable'.
A lot of health specialist are saying it's really important to spread out and delay the infections as long as possible, because if you're not an idiot it makes sense to not overload the system,
which traditionally is already stressed out this time of the year due to flu etc...

The New York Times had an article where a public health dude said that even a moderately severe flu season means that the icu's get all filled up so thats what the world-class private healthcare that would be destroyed by socialized medicine gets us I guess.

It's any flu season that pushes ICUs to capacity, not just a bad one. All hospitals run as close to full capacity as they can at all times, and the ICU especially so. On top of that we have fewer of both types of beds across the nation than we did a year ago. Philadelphia, for example, has had two major hospital closures this year losing somewhere around 1,000 hospital beds and around 100 ICU beds.

The CDC has a study about planning for a pandemic influenza that is probably the best guide we have right now to how a serious pandemic would go down and it comes with this nice little terrifying table.



To give you an idea the American Hospital Association keeps statistics on the number of hospital beds available. There are fewer than 1 million regular hospital beds in the entire country. There are around 46,500 medical ICU beds in the US, this is the type of ICU that would be the first stop for influenza or a coronavirus infection. If you include burn/surgical/cardiac and other ICUs you have roughly the same number; so fewer than 100,000 ICU beds in the entire country.

Then there are issues with the number of ventilators, BIPAP machines and other bits of life support equipment - there are even fewer of those than there are ICU beds, because not everybody in an ICU needs those things. ECMO gets a lot of press but in the overall picture it's vanishingly rare.

Realistically it could get to the point like it was in the early days of dialysis - 25 patients needing ventilation, 12 ventilators available. Who gets them? 15 patients needing ecmo, but the nearest place that can do ECMO is a hundred miles away and would require a helicopter, and can take one or two of them if you're supremely lucky. Who gets to go on ECMO?

Medical ethics people are going to have a field day.

I don't think I've heard anything about this virus causing cytokine storm. In fact I think that would cause the opposite kind of people to die, as cytokine storm makes the virus much more deadly for people with healthy immune systems.

first thing that came to mind was, did the person who took the pics follow the whole process through to verify they had really what was a corona virus case. i'd guess that would take multiple days.

takes real dedication to follow a patient or a possible corpse around just so you can tweet about it in case it just happens to be this new virus

epidemiologists have been talking about 'social limiting' as an important part of controlling the spread of the infection

so i think that there is not really a flatulence risk as much as a flatulence reward. which is to say, there is no peak bean

What kind of tory bullshit is this: "please take utmost care to manage your personal rate of infection so as not to overwhelm the resources we have intentionally diminished"

Nobody is saying not to wash hands. But no matter how much you say, "please wash hands", some people won't. No matter how often you say "self quarantine in case of symptoms", some people are still going to show up to work. Not all of them can remote-in/work from home because their jobs are out there. At some point you're going to interact with someone who has the disease- ultimately there's nothing you can do to remain infection free.
