Here is a silly question, can you still die if you don't show symptoms?
Actually that's a serious question
Don't people die due to lung damage caused by Pneumonia?
I would think getting pneumonia is showing symptoms.
Here is a silly question, can you still die if you don't show symptoms?
Actually that's a serious question
According to the WHO's latest paper, most people develop symptoms.Wait, so a massive portion of people who test positive never show any symptoms? I thought that number was really low, if not just rumour...
According to that article, between 40 to 50% of those who test positive are asymptomatic.
The WHO study from China states that most of the people who test positive will get the symptoms at some point so it could be just delaying the counting.
According to the WHO's latest paper, most people develop symptoms.
80% mild to moderate.
14% serious.
6 % critical.
Maybe what they mean is that people with mild symptoms will not be included.
The logic in this I do not understand.
Yeah... so i guess a decent guideline to follow could be:
1) you notice ANY kind of new cold type symptoms
2) self quarantine and observe what happens
3) you stay the same and/or slowly get better -> stay at home until fully recovered/quarantine time is up
OR
you get worse and this is the tricky part (HOW much worse do you actually have to get to know you gotta escalate things?)
and call the hotline and hope there's a free bed waiting for you in the hospital
Not sure i got this right but this seems kinda logical to me now except for the part where you have to decide for yourself that NOW is
the time to get to the hospital, risking infection in case you only had the damn FLU of course :(
The good news is pretty much limited to China after huge containment measures that probably wont be replicated anywhere else. If you aren't in China its pretty much bad news all around.
Part of me wasn't (I'm a hypochondriac so I try to downplay this stuff to myself in general to keep from going in teh total other direction) until I read 6% for people with chronic respiratory diseases (I got asthma).
I live in Portland, OR. Would it be overkill to stop going into the office as soon as this week? My manager told me last Thursday that I can go ahead and get what I need to work from home ready to go. I feel like we're at the point where if it's going to become widespread in the US it will be happening this week. That case with the teacher in Lake Oswego is with a few miles of my office.

The reason why you would die from this disease would be your lungs becoming inflamed and essentially failing to oxygenate your blood. You'd most certainly develop some other symptoms such as a cough and a fever were this to happen. Not to mention shortness of breath... yeah, you'd notice this happening to your body.Here is a silly question, can you still die if you don't show symptoms?
Actually that's a serious question
I guess these two don't entirely contradict each other (60% is "most of"), but the don't immediately sound like they align.
Nah, I think it talks about two different things. People can test positive without having any symptoms yet and they won't be counted. But most likely these people will get some symptoms at some point (more or less severe).
Yeah I did wonder if they meant asymptomatic at that moment. Seems very ill-advised.
-The most common symptoms are fever (88%) and dry cough (68%). Exhaustion (38%), expectoration of mucus when coughing (33%), shortness of breath (18%), sore throat (14%), headaches (14%), muscle aches (14%), chills (11%) are also common. Less frequent are nausea and vomiting (5%), stuffy nose (5%) and diarrhoea (4%). Running nose is not a symptom of Covid.
Sure. But now it could also be Corona. So keep an eye on it.I'm not sure how much that list help.
I'm pretty sure I get most of that stuff at least few times a year.
1. The mortality rate is nowhere near 3%.Stop with this downplaying bs.
If everyone gets it, 225 million people will die just from the 3% mortality rate! The hospitals won't be able to treat the ICU cases which are currently at 10%. And a few of the 40% mild cases who are in hospital will get worse because they don't get treated.
That's scary, it's winter I feel like that every two weeks.-The most common symptoms are fever (88%) and dry cough (68%).

I strongly recommend that you contact your local health department. Find a number, call them, explain your situation, and make sure they have all your information if requested.I live in one of the areas in the US with several cases. I have symptoms that correlate with what we're seeing here. Went to a clinic, got a flu and strep swab, both came negative, did a chest x-ray and they couldn't decide anything about it. They said I definitely have something viral but they can't figure out what. They asked me the questionnaire for travel and recent contacts who have traveled, but I don't have any, so they didn't test me for covid. Sent me back home saying to come back if I feel worse.
I'll be self quarantining.
"There are currently 88,320 confirmed cases worldwide, including 3,000 fatalities."
The denominator is actually much higher because many aren't tested and many are asymptomatic or have symptoms too mild to notice."There are currently 88,320 confirmed cases worldwide, including 3,000 fatalities."
Coronavirus death rate: What are the chances of dying?
The current best guess of a 1% death rate does not apply to everyone.www.bbc.com

It only takes 5 seconds to Google that this is BS.I was told that vitamin D and Turmeric will greatly boost your bodies ability to fight the virus and mitigate the symptoms. Maybe that's why India hasn't had many outbreaks? Lots of sun and everyone eats turmeric everyday.
3 people out of 10.5 million? I think your chances of catching it are highly unlikely. Do you know where in the Czech Republic the cases are? Are they actually in Prague?Okay asking again. I'm supposed to be going to Prague this Friday with my family for 10 days. I heard that the Czech republic now has 3 reported cases of coronavirus, all three of which came from Italy.
Am I at risk? I was really hoping to go there and make out with some fine European ladies.
That isn't how statistics or disease modeling work. There's a hell of a lot more to it than simply dividing confirmed deaths by confirmed cases. For example here's a study by Imperial College (Neil Ferguson, his work on this outbreak has been cited extensively) that estimates about 1%. Here's another from AABB that estimates 0.94% after revisions with additional data.There are currently 88,320 confirmed cases worldwide, including 3,000 fatalities.

We obviously won't truly know until the outbreak is over but pretty much every proper study at this point is pointing to around 0.5-2%. Very bad but when we're talking thousands, even millions of infections there's a huge difference in even single percentages.

As with another person above, I strongly recommend you contact your local health department and explain your situation, giving them all the relevant information if requested.I've had 3/4ths on these symptoms for almost three weeks. Wife started the same a week ago. Live in Snohomish County, WA. There has been no trace contact with anyone directly overseas outside of an early interaction in January with a coworker coming back from Shangahi. I just assumed it was just a seasonal cold. Went into isolation late last week as a precaution, only going out at odd times to get supplies.
Not worried because our symptoms are mild and we are healthy. Just annoyed that there is no clear or straightforward way to get tested.
In China they are obligated to report even mild symptoms to authorities. That's why the WHO didn't find many mild cases of COVID not detected. And the CFR is as of today 3,6% with 79,824 cases and 2,870 deaths.The denominator is actually much higher because many aren't tested and many are asymptomatic or have symptoms too mild to notice.
Wait are you claiming that your denominator is accurate?Not in the long run according to the WHO study published recently based on the data collected in China.
