I am taking a reporters tweet who talked to the head of the hospital that is treating these patients. You are taking an article that says they won't comment on the patients status because of their confidentiality rights.

The cases include two women in their 20s, a man in his 30s, a woman in her 40s, two women in their 50s, a man in his 60s and a woman in her 70s.

No further information about the patients will be released, to protect their privacy.

Well yeah, a majority of people who contract this virus will survive thankfully.

Doesn’t surprise me if there were underlying issues.

Smoking/ obesity/ vapers popcorn lungs/ diabetes, etc

If there are other issues at play then they’re not the healthiest demographic. They’re highly vulnerable to respiratory infections.

This study is of 508 known COVID hospitalizations reported to the CDC between 2/12-3/16. 508, at the time of analysis, was 12% of the known cases total in the US (4226)

Of the 508, 20% of hospitalizations so far are from adults 20-44 years old. This is about 2.4% of the known cases at time if analysis.

Same data still shows this group is getting out of this OK. Less than 1% fatality for ages 20-54 still



Bar chart included in the CDC report for easy lookin’. These numbers will change as more data pours in. My rapid analysis is that this is why government and hospitals are freaking out about this. That’s a high percentage of beds, equipment, staff being dedicated to the healthiest population of the group. That’s why we could quickly overwhelm the hospitals.

I want to lead this toward a positive note for balance. We have some time to repurpose hospital space, secure PPE, ventilators, etc. Hospitalizations from the 20-44 age group will go down as hospitals become more effective at keeping those people home and cared for remotely.

As always, everyone, no matter age, needs to do the basic stuff. Wash your hands & keep distance from people outside your home.

We have an entire hotel industry with excess capacity rooms right now. We need to strike up quarantine hotel deals - Awaiting test results: Quarantine Hotel - Positive test but not dire: Isolation Hotel - Critical Condition: Hospital ICU That way we limit the spread once we've identified sick people

That's a great idea. I think surviving this is going to take a lot of out-of-the-box thinking

I agree, but sometimes purposely structured red tape regulations nix great ideas in a hot second.

one drug has been approved

It has been around since the 50's. I was reading an article about this drug last night. A French Dr. tested it on 45 patients. After 6 days only 25% showed signs. 90% still showed signs that weren't given that drug.
