Lazurus Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 5 minutes ago, Canada Hockey Place said: Canada is actually doing comparatively well. https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/could-canada-be-flattening-the-curve-of-coronavirus-cases/ Hard to have cases if they don't test. The "strain" here hasn't mutated to the "Italian strain" yet. Isn't it strange that an entire country that does nothing to screen for the virus has fewer sick people than one American city, Seattle? Vancouver International airport, more flight and people from China than any other city and not one Chinese person with the virus? That Italian doctor on tv was almost begging the world to do general testing, he described it like a bomb that goes off again and again and again a doesn't stop because they, Italy, didn't do general testing until it was too late.

Not saying they aren’t excellent medical professionals but how could they possibly make a more accurate assessment of the situation than the medical professionals across the globe currently dealing with overwhelming numbers of this? That being said that article does have good guidance and things to follow. Edited March 12, 2020 by Petey40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guntrix Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 30 minutes ago, Petey40 said: My question is why should it matter that there are more mild cases not being reported? As of right now all the cases tested come up with a 3.4% mortality rating. Do you think everyone goes to the hospital to report the flu every year? No of course not so there numbers would actually have a lower mortality rating as well. The mortality and hospitalization is vastly higher than any virus we deal with and is overwhelming the healthcare system. And also you should do some research on what’s happening in Italy before YOU start spreading misinformation. As has been mentioned before, Italy has one of the oldest populations in the world, with over 60% of its population aged 40 and above (and 23% of its population aged 65 and over). This is in line with what's been reported about the Coronavirus disproportionately affecting the elderly. 32 minutes ago, Petey40 said: There are more and more reports about how they aren’t even treating over 60 anymore because younger healthy people require intubation and they have to give priority to the young healthy people. I assume you have a source for this. 33 minutes ago, Petey40 said: I don’t want to fear monger but these are the reports coming from medical professionals currently dealing with the situation. I’d sooner listen to them than the people not dealing with what’s going on. I literally just gave you quotes from Johns Hopkins doctors lmao. This isn't coming from me. But the more and more I read your posts the more I realize you're set on believing this narrative of yours, no matter which sources I cite.
