I know. I'm sorry. But when two of your friend are on vents. My friend's healthy soccer coach jus died from it, I'm rather sensitive.
I'm sorry to hear about your friends and hope they pull through and recover.

There are also viruses that can reactivate like chicken pox becoming shingles. Since it’s a new-to-humans virus we can’t know how it will affect survivors long term.
Overall, we’ve been seeing roughly 15% mortality among the hospitalized patients. Higher in areas with an overwhelmed hospital such as those in Italy (hopefully, not in NY).So you are saying everyone on a ventilator dies? Doesn't seem right since they are so eager to get so many more of them to save lives.
0.4% is still a lot. That’s saying choose one skittle out of a bag of 250. Hope you’re not the unlucky one. That’s not even accounting for morbidity rate.I don't believe this. Who are these "many, many?" Every official statistic I've seen puts the mortality at my age at around 0.4%. However, that is for ages 40-49. It doesn't account for gender (women fare better than men) and ALSO doesn't address weight or smoking status. The only preexisting conditions they are tracking are cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease.
So, the 0.4% is the death rate among ALL patients 40-49 INCLUDING those who are overweight or smokers.
The death rate for someone like me is probably more like 0.2% or less.
Yes, most likely not. 99% (not a scientific estimate) chance based on other known viruses that you can’t get reinfected. 1% for the unknown since we don’t know about this particular strain.Most doctors agree that once you have it you build up antibodies against it. So the chances of getting it again are very slim.

Even if a patient doesn’t die, they will be left with lung scarring.

No. I want to not get it and have the whole pandemic over.
I mean, honestly...you give me 250 skittles and tell me one will kill me but 249 won't and I can relieve myself of the daily anxiety? I'm gonna eat a skittle.
Risk seeker I see.
That rate is multiples more than dying by a car accident or cancer in the US.
Whatever makes you feel comfortable, though.
Very true but you don't know if you would be that person that needs a ventilator. I'm not a gambler.So far, what I have read is that only people who actually develop the pneumonia and require ventilation or develop ARDS are at risk of having long term lung damage.
Many people get this virus and it never even moves into their lungs.
