So I have just a quick question.
I keep hearing the death rate floating around to be between 1% and 4.5% with Italy being an outlier.
However, of all the closed cases according to this, it says 19% resulted in death.
The death rate can't possibly be almost 20%, right?

The number of people that have this is much, much, MUCH higher than the people actually being tested. Especially if up to 1/3 are asymptomatic as the Chinese testing suggested.
I was hesitant to speak optimism but I thought it would be worth it for people to read in the midst of earner frustrations. What makes me say that is an article posted above about death percentages being lower than expected (doesn't mean 0 deaths, or that it's over, just lower than expected), and than an article here about temperatures dropping as a whole.
I made very sure in my post to try to stress I was not trying to diminish real and actual concern, but that it could be better than we hoped — possibly.
They probably don't do whatever is needed to close the case for people with mild cases because there's no need to waste time and tests on them after they get better, but every single death is a closed case.COVID Live - Coronavirus Statistics - Worldometer

those are only tested cases, but the actual number of infected is far higher. The Imperial College London just completed a study taking asymptomatic and the best estimates of untested infected numbers into account: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/30/health/coronavirus-lower-death-rate/index.html
estimate overall CFR of .66% with an under-40 CFR at 0.16% over 80 it rockets to 7.8% though.

There was a Lancet study that suggested the CFR was .66% when you account for asymptomatic cases. CNN reported on it.
Coronavirus death rate is lower than previously reported, study says, but it's still deadlier than seasonal flu | CNN
How many people die after being infected with the novel coronavirus? Fewer than previously calculated, according to a study released Monday, but still more than die from the flu.

It's important to note that .66% is still horrifying and nothing to mock. It's much worse than the flu (especially for older people), but it's not the worst case scenario (apparently) that was originally suspected. That being said, this is just one study.
Not to scare you or anything, but the problem with that article is that the death are underreported in a bunch of countries. In Italy and Spain, they weren't even counting the people that died at home or elderly care centers.
Will all the school closures and online classes, it becomes obvious that yeah, internet access should be covered for everyone as a free service, at least something basic.
Thanks. I don't think you understand just how much misinformation is out there. This will help clear some of it up.
Friend of mine that had it seems to be on the upswing now. Looked like absolute hell last week, but now he looks and feels well. Seems like the worst of it for him lasted a little over a week.

I'm not a virologist, but it really depends which part of the virus the antibodies are specific against. I think its spike proteins (which assists with binding it to cells) are more immunogenic, so it's more likely for there to be antibodies made against it. And that protein is more likely to be stable since mutations there would mean the virus is less effective. So if there are antibodies targeting an integral part of a pathogen, then it would be harder for it to escape destruction without also making itself less infectious. So there's a trade-off. Of course, if the antibody is specific against a non-essential part of a protein, then any mutations in that part means escaping detection without self-compromise. I believe people are attempting to develop therapeutic antibodies against Covid-19.
The main risk with a lot of people getting the virus is that the higher the number of people that get infected, the more opportunities the virus will have to mutate.
Anyone working in a hospital here ? I do not know how the situation is in England and the United States, but I am starting to seriously get morally tired. It's exhausting to see more and more young people going to intensive care every day. We take care of them for several days, we see them go rather well, and by the 10th day, they are no longer there.
How do you handle it ?
How do you handle it ?
Why are alot of the face shield that companies making only single use? Why can't the plastic be wiped down?
Talk to each other (other staff). Accept the difficulty and the unprecedentedness of the situation. Accept feeling sad about it as it is normal.
Accept that this will end and won't go on forever.
See if your hospital is offering any help re mental health for staff in this crisis. In UK nhs workers can get the headspace app for free
Mind you I'm in australia and it isnt that bad here yet...when Im in your position I may well be feeling a lot lot worse
I'm guessing it's to minimize any risk of exposure by not having someone touch the potentially infectious shield surface and also have to transport it elsewhere for disinfection (rather than disposing of it on the spot).

If you have a Harbor Freight Tools near you check for gloves. They donated all their 5 and 7 mil gloves to local emergency rooms but their 3 and 9 mil are still available for purchase
I have seen lysol and Clorox spray cleaner at target and WM in the middle of the afternoon around me in the Houston suburbs
So someone tested positive at my job for it and they said business as usual.... what the actual hell am I suppose to do ?
Pull your bootstraps tighter. It prevents infection
He is from France I think.
Please take it as a grain of sand, but I have read several case about young people (<40) who die from China. They all appeared to be recovering yet suddenly deteriorate die in a short order. This seems to be different from how older people die. I don't think there is any research or study to confirm or deny this.
France. And when I say young, it's not necessarily really young patients, but people in their forties. The intensive care unit of my hospital
dont take people who are over 70 years old. It's just sad to see active people, with busy lives, not being able to be treated as they should be.
Thanks man, I really appreciate your post. My hospital has created a hotline for the worker who need to talk. I thinK i will give them a call.
I can't imagine the stress you're under. Thank you for all that you're doing! I know that those words seem trite and small but know that billions around the world appreciate what you're doing.

Here's to hoping but it doesn't seem that the study is taking into account there is also significantly underreporting on deaths as wellCoronavirus death rate is lower than previously reported, study says, but it's still deadlier than seasonal flu | CNN

Interesting. I'm curious how the immune system would manage to neutralize the spikey aspect of the virus. Plus it sounds like it would mean some immunization against other types of coronaviruses. Could this explain the lower mortality rate in some Asian countries? Might they have developed some form of immunity against corona-like viruses due to past infections, maybe some which we were not even widely aware of but which would have been more common in Asia?
I'm advising my mother that if I die from the Corona virus and she survives, to sue the fuck out of the company I work for for making me go in. It's an IT job that is taking phone calls and could easily be worked from at home.
Are mutations chance happenings or evolutionary necessity? If it's the latter, then there's no need for it to mutate to survive since it spreads so easily.
Yeah, this week things have changed in general. People going a bit nuts.

A case normally closes between 2-4 weeks after the person tests positive. Most of the open cases are people that are okay-ish but not out of the illness yet.
Germany's death count continues to be astonishing. Other countries with similar numbers of infections are in thousands in terms of deaths while Germany is sitting at 645.
There is no such thing as evolutionary necessity, only chance. Any random mutation that allows it to reproduce more easily will be likelier to persist.
