Due to the fact that over 80% of cases are mild, there are MANY cases that aren't reported. So the 3.4% mortality rate reported by the World Health Organization is actually much lower. Simply put, you can only record what's on your radar. People aren't going to report to the hospital for a runny nose or a mild cough. Just FYI, runny nose is not a symptom of Covid19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKA 'travel ban' AND borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 As a father of a 3 months old and a 2 year old with lung disease..... It's hard not to be concerned.

And it's entirely feasible. people, consistent with trump, are engaging in diversion and distraction travel restrictions are no longer a valid method of dealing with this problem mode ot travel is a concern however do not sit in confined areas with many people with poor air ventilation but otherwise travel is a red herring the most important factor presently to consider is very simple personal hygiene - lots of effective hand washing and not touching any face with your hands social distancing - step back when interacting with others these are really the 2 most important factors which need to be repeatedly stressed if you are speaking about things other then these 2 main factors you are missing the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More perspective, factories were running full steam, many global markets were at all time highs, People were allowed to go anywhere they wanted, schools were not shuttered, buying toilet paper did not involve getting into fist fights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergioMomesso Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 So looks like we may get hockey into July or August. Start the 2020-21 season early December and reduce the games to 62? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey40 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3074988/coronavirus-some-recovered-patients-may-have?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_content=article&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1584030843 A new report coming from Chinese doctors that says some recovered patients are experiencing a 20 to 30% drop in lung function. Keep in mind this is an early report so nothing is 100% confirmed yet. A good way to gauge whether these types of things are factual is to wait and see if other countries and doctors start reporting similarities. Reports from multiple sources around the world have proven that this illness can cause permanent lung scarring and organ damage regardless of age. I don't want to fear monger these are just the facts being reported. Be careful, and every extra precaution you can take may help someone else.
