If you've followed closely you'd know that most of them became infected due to not enough of the correct prevention supplies at the onset of the outbreak. Also, understaffed and overwhelmed medical centers contributed. Doctors were literally working around the clock, running themselves down, and very stressed out, all which compromises your immune system.

I am a Chinese living here in DC, been following coronavirus since the end of December (before China admitted there was such thing):

1. Last time I was able to but a few n95 masks was the end of January, I haven't tried since
2. N95 and surgical masks definitely work, look at China, Japan, S Korea, people there aren't wearing masks daily for fashion reasons, it's uncomfortable to wear them, yet people do.
3. 3M's factories in China are producing lots of masks, however, China is blocking 3M from shipping them to the US (another reason we should end all trade with China, period)
4. In addition to mask, currently we are short of hazard suits for health care workers too, if you watch TV, you can see what suits the Chinese, Japanese, S Koreans are wearing (the nice ones), and what the American are wearing (the useless ones). What a shame. We must protect health care workers!

Yes this is what is happening with 3M. They can?t get them to US citizens so now government telling us they don?t work. Lies and Failure.

I believe this may be a hoax.

I'm not getting hoax vibes. Gilead Sciences has been in communication with the poster via DMs. It's 100% possible that there's an unknown, underlying condition that made him go from healthy 30-something to this bad. However, the virus has also mutated and there is one strain that is much worse than the other.

Six prisoners have died in a Modena prison after riots broke out in several Italian jails following the suspension of visits to curb the spread of the coronavirus, according to authorities.

Prisoners broke into the infirmary, and two of the dead were methadone overdoses.
