This isnt like SARs or swine flu

Where they were caught and contained

This got out of hand fast

Is less than swine

VERY FAST

Swine flu infected 60 million people in the US alone. The fatality rate of it was just really, really low.

I'm a physician and have followed our closely

It *

Please stop with all this misinformation. It's nuts.

@Fanny Anzai * Dr.Owlet clarify ur medical degree

What field

The number i of infected people are very underestimated

@Lidomite the mutations isnt misinformation

and neither is lack of tests

That is why the percentage is inflated and scary

You said swine flu was "caught and contained."

Md

Emergency

ER

@Lidomite ok my bad

And ambulance

@Fanny Anzai * Dr.Owlet Any actual news of viable tests?

In Brazil we have SAMU and emergency ambulances with doctors and nurses in and out of the cities

There are tests but they are not specific to corona so there are false positives

But we are not diagnosing most of patients

Who are young and healthy people

Who will have none or few weak symptoms

Thats very irresponsible

That's why the mortality rates are wrongly high

Their could be a shit ton of carriers

I dont believe the official numbers from news media outlets for a second

And sadly no one reasonable talk to the population clearly and honestly

Almost all of them and the World health organization recieve chinese government donations

Old people over 65 that suffers from hypertension and diabetes and use medications are the most vulnerable to the infection

So i dont believe the "official" numbers

@Fanny Anzai * Dr.Owlet that doesnt mean young people and healthy cant be carriers

So if you are young but contact old people you should be more careful

That's right and that's why I said this last consideration

But the virus is not spreading like people think and the orientation on washing your hands and avoid close contact to sick people is an all the time measure and not only for the pandemic time

And the washing hands is before eating and manipulating food or after toilet use and contacting other places and people and shared objects

@Fanny Anzai * Dr.Owlet its not bad form, but it can also lower the defenses your skin offers
