[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is from the press conference from the LTC in Washington.

“Our experience with this so far has shown that the virus is[b] volatile and unpredictable,[/b]” Killian said. “We’ve had patients who, [b]within an hour’s time, show no symptoms to going to acute symptoms[/b] and being transferred to the hospital. And [b]we’ve had patients die relatively quickly under those circumstances…We know very little about how fast this may act.”[/b]

This goes along with what doctors were saying out of China. (weeks ago)[/quote]

I'm not saying that we shouldnt be concerned about this , but this isn't that rate for elderly patients, especially when the disease is respiratory related.  There is a reasons pneumonia is so dangerous for the elderly.  Their system gets compromised and it goes downhill quickly.  [/quote]

Yep. I was waiting for someone else to point this out. It is a great illustration of how things taken out of context and/or stated badly can create panic.[/quote]

The issue is that critical patients will flood the hospitals in the US and we will quickly lose capacity to treat them, as well as all the "normal" critical patients.  All the health care workers I know or follow on Twitter are terrified of this. [/quote]
