TMMadman posted:Yeah this is the thing that I'd like to know about personally. I caught something in early/mid February, right around the time the first confirmed case hit the Chicago area. And while I usually catch something around the change of the seasons, I felt like the thing that hit me was a bit early. A coworker of mine almost definitely had it in early March but while his symptoms were bad, they never reached the testing threshold. Another guy *might*have had it but again, no testing to confirm. We at least sent them both home immediately and both haven't been to the office in weeks, and the entire office was closed for about 10 days.

Torpor posted:The US fatality rate is creeping upwards, it started at 1.5%, yesterday it was 2%, this morning it is at 2.2% Our testing capacity has not grown at the same rate as cases so any comparison to the number of "confirmed" cases is pointless. Just look and see if the deaths are growing exponentially/logarithmically. Even then the deaths aren't being counted so our numbers mean jack poo poo. Assume that if you leave the house in April you will come into contact with a roni-positive individual or fomites slathered in corona goo.

Harry Potter on Ice posted:Can you quote the "numbers you ran" From last night? No, because they have changed and I didn't write down the poo poo I ran. From now? Yes. Presently in the US there are 190,022 cases confirmed. Of those, 4102 have died. 4102/190022=0.02158 or 2.2% mortality. It's not perfect because we know more people have died at home or without confirmation, but it's probably in the ballpark. In the US, there are 178,646 confirmed cases active right now. Of those, 4,576 are severe/critical. 4576/178646=0.0256 or 2.6% hospitalized. There are almost certainly many more cases that have not been tested, but because the US testing policy many places is "has shown up to the hospital," it's unlikely the untested cases are severe enough to be seen at a hospital. Many of the cases that are not hospitalized are people who have called family doctors or been seen at urgent cares or so on and been told "yeah it's the bad poo poo, stay home and call 911 if you can't breathe." There is likely a good chunk of those who were tested who weren't admitted at the time but will be admitted later as they deteriorate. It's probably not gonna be 17.5% of those people. Globally, the numbers on Worldometer look like this:  That's basically the trend. 5% need hospitalized. 20% of the hospitalized cases die. There's nothing that suggests 20% of people need hospitalization.

Like I'm not saying a whole fuckload of people aren't gonna die and that the hospital systems are gonna hold it together because that's insane and clearly not happening but assuming 50 million people are gonna die because 20% need hospital support isn't supported by any numbers I can think of

Bulgakov posted:have you ever done a self-mri during downtime?? I'm too fat to fit in our old tiny unit. I don't think there is any considerable cost for it just sitting there on beyond the electricity and water for the chiller system. The helium takes a long time before it eventually boils off enough. The units I've worked on take about 2-3 years before needing a refill (helium levels get below 50%). Turning the unit off (chiller unit that makes the chirping noise) just ends up with the helium heating up and boiling off, requiring expensive refill.

My 65 y/o mom almost died from an undiagnosed viral infection in early Feb. She had: -Dry nonproductive cough that persisted for over a month (she's a smoker) -Test negative for flu & bacterial pneumonia -high fever -extreme fatigue -couldnt eat for days or keep food down -required supplemental o2 in the dr's office She really thought she was going to die from it, it took a long time before she started to feel better at all, they had her on strong antibiotics and antivirals - they basically gave it the original SARS treatment. At the same exact time I got a mysterious breathing problem where it felt like the air I breathed in was obstructed and not reaching my lungs. I felt like I was slowly slowly suffocating with each breath and had a nonproductive phlegmy feeling in the back of my throat. 1.5-2 weeks later I got a dry cough and mild cold symptoms for a few days, then both went away forever. We both really wonder. She had just come back from MA where she spent a long time with us after the holidays & was also in the ER 2x for unrelated physical disability complications.
