what a lovely thread https://twitter.com/newscientist/status/1231933488250658819?s=20
shit
So do you think that the Coronavirus can Overwhelm the NHS
as much as any flu outbreak
I still dont think it's that bad
obviously not having a vaccine will make it a lot worse
Guess it's worse in a way as theres no prevention
Yeah
But the general person still has little to worry about
since not as many people showing up to nhs if most people have been vaccinates... or boosted or whatever
Isnt the survival rate 90 odd percent?
slightly less I think
2.6k deaths, 26k recovered
So its certainly of concern
And most of those dying will be ones vulnerable to illness
probably will also lose a lot of nurses and doctors... putting more pressure on NHS
even if most just get too ill to work
What percentage actually show symptoms
There seems to be a lot of carriers or whatever you call them
Dunno
perhaps ironic though... that all those people who came up from Libya to get to Italy... and italy is like, the most infected place outside of Asia
Yeah I was wondering if it were to do with mass immigration
"we escaped Libya!"
"Ah, shit"
But it wasnt in Libya as far as I know
Like not in excess anyway
I dont know how Italy got it so bad
No I dont think they brought it... I just thought its kinda funny that they were desperate to get to this place that is now a death camp
not funny harhar ... funny ironic
Well it gives them even more incentive to get to the better European countries lol
So they pick the virus up in Italy and spread it to the rest of Europe
Nice
Is the whole thing about the only deaths being East Asian still true?
Or was that just a conspiracy theory from the start?
Lol
Not sure
pretty sure theres been some deaths in Iran
Yeah I'd be surprised if the 12-50 deaths over there were all East Asians
the problem is the 'severe' rate is above 20%
