It isn’t hype.
It also isn’t ‘the flu’.
That trope will go out the door really fast once this gets going in country.
The new case in CA wasn’t discovered until after he’d been in the hospital some days and was already intubated. He likely won’t make it. Intubation stats with this thing are dismal at best.
We still don’t know how this guy caught it because he has no recent travel to China nor contact with anyone who does.
So this is already circulating here.
Give it another 3 or 4 weeks and we’ll probably look like South Korea or Italy.
What you DO need to pray about is that we have enough doses of the Gilead company’s drug for everyone.
That drug seems to be a miracle worker.
But it’s an experimental drug we likely don’t have enough doses of right now. But I suspect that was one of the big topics of discussion from Trump’s India trip.
When we get 8000 dead here in the US from coronavirus we will just have caught up with the regular flu which never makes the six oclock news cycle. So far we are working on one and flu season will be over in a month or so. This stuff is no worse than the regular flu. Almost everyone who catches it makes a full recovery. If you can’t get 10%-15% mortality its hard to get an epidemic going. The Spanish flu was 10%-20%. Coronavirus is what 2%? Its not an epidemic. Not gonna happen.
