Trump gathers the FDA, CDC, experts, and the heads of all the large pharma companies into a room and asks what can we as the government do to expedite the process of therapeutic medicine and vaccine development and this is your response? Pathetic. There is an hour long video of this that is public.Shanked Punt said:

Anybody have any other mr infectious doozies? Here are a couple that stand out to me.

There is more to this story
Do you still believe this?Quote:
Once we have dozens of cases around the country then yes, we should let it go.
Is it time to let it go?
What's the point of terrible takes? Takes away from what should be an informative thread.
I'll stand by those takes.
Come November Trump is going to regret the stock market and initial CV tweets from a couple days ago.
As far as insurance companies go, they won't be able to pay everything out when this goes full pandemic.

ACE2 is the entry point and it appears the entry can be blocked by a known protease inhibitor.
Interestingly, other early days studies available online posit that ACE2 is expressed in Asian males in higher concentrations than other race / gender combinations.

Random thought... in the UK, don't they refer to their resumes as "CV"? Do you think that will change because of this?
"Do you have a CV?"
"No, I was just tested"
Resumes are usually 1 page. Curriculum Vitaes, CV's, are much longer and more detailed.

CV (curriculum vitae) details peer-reviewed publications and the like.
My CV is 13 pages.
I wonder if that's in response to the economic impact and the need to get things going again or if that's a true indicator that they are starting to get this wrangled.
SK seems to be using hospitals as their containment centers whether or not the infected patients need hospitalization or not (instead of isolating the healthier infected at home or somewhere else). Not to downplay the scenario, SK has kind of created their own hospital room shortage by putting everyone in the hospital. Luckily the US seems to be learning from these mistakes as we've seen from attempts by WA state officials to isolate some patients in motels/hotels.Illuminaggie said:South Korea, a first world country, is being overrun.

I read in their media that they are trying to do100% hospitalization as a containment measure. I think it's not working well - capacity isn't sufficient for the goal. But I don't think we can say they have that many people who *need* to be hospitalized clinically.

So a 4 in 3, 000 rate = 0.1%...or about the same as the seasonal flu.
Seasonal flu is closer to .01%. And most of those 3,000 cases don't have outcomes yet. So, no.
No, four died waiting for a hospital bed. Right now they're 28 deaths, 5186 confirmed cases (851 new yesterday).
Average of averages of studies says ~17 days on average from symptom onset to death.
They also only have 34 recovered and 27 in serious or critical condition.

Death isn't the only endpoint that should be concerning. I don't know what SK's numbers are, but Chinese data report a very large proportion of those hospitalized suffering severe complications and requiring critical care for an extended duration. Even providing supportive care off site to those that aren't as severe is a sap on resources.
The mortality is probably not as damaging as the potential to overload critical systems. Awareness, preparation, and vigilance are a good thing. Coherent messaging from authorities that isn't dead wrong tomorrow would be too.
The fact that kids don't seem to get it and there are huge unknown numbers of asymptomatic folks I am guessing when we have better data after this initial season the death rate will be much closer to the flu.
"Fort Worth where the West begins...and Dallas is where the East peters out!"
It's weird everyone has this desire to draw an equivalence to the flu. I don't think there's evidence favoring that.
CDC says about half the people who have the flu go see a doctor, so the flu estimates for mortality are guessing that we only see half the cases.
But what's key, at least in my mind, is not the total number of cases and deaths. What's important, I think, is the comparison of the cases we see. In other words, if you're right that requires the range of outcomes to be much broader than the flu on both sides.
Hypothetically let's say SARS-CoV-2 has more mild cases than seasonal flu, and only 1% of people who get it go see the doc. That's what we "see" so the observed guesstimate of 1% mortality is really only 0.01%, same as the flu. Is that really better if the 1% that is going to see the doc are 20% severe, 5% requiring ICU? The flu doesn't have those numbers even considering the portion that we see.

South Korea also has drive thru testing for this in all major cities, and is testing everyone with any sort of symptoms at all. They've also closed schools for the month of March, told people to work from home, canceled mass gatherings (concerts, sporting events, etc.), and basically told everyone to stay home to let it die out.
The CDC? Bungled the test kits, still trying to roll them out, and any doctor/ER who thinks they have an infected patient is having to call a CDC coronavirus hotline and ask for permission to refer the person for testing.
AND the CDC is only granting those under the idiotic, outdated criteria that the person traveled to China in the past month (as if anyone has at this point) or who has had close contact with someone who has been diagnosed with the infection.
We're still letting people travel in from other parts of Italy (as if corona is just limited to the Milan area or someone can't hop on a train). Still allowing travelers from the EU (despite cases in Italy, Spain, France, and the ease of travel from Italy to other EU nations). Still allowing people from Canada despite the outbreak there due to Iranian travel (and Trudeau not restricting travel from Iran to Canada).
Our national response is being led by a pack of idiots at the CDC.

OK I will amend my statement to just we are way over estimating the death rate at this time, how about that?

The whole world is actively engaged in developing vaccines, drug treatments, and other measures to fight this disease. It remains to be seen if these can be developed and implemented in time to alleviate the effects in countries like SK, Italy, Iran, and the U.S.

Right, but other than optimism what are you basing that on? Put another way, what is going to cause a significant shift in over / under reporting of minor cases? If there are cases that are so minor that people aren't going to see a doc (i.e., fever of <102 lasting a day or two - same as a minor case of the flu wouldn't prompt a doctor visit) why would they become reported in the future?
