And all those numbers are able to be sourced from reportable sources such as the CDC and the NEJM. They usually dismiss it but they can't claim the flu is worse.

@@joshuakuehn we have just 7000 ICU beds in the UK and just over 4000 of them are for adults. They are already at full occupancy. What will happen when 2 to 3 million at a time have this and 20% of them need ICU care? Far more than 3% will perish. According to a military source/leak - the reason they did the cruise ship stunt early on was to get everybody to cancel their cruises so they can be used as floating hospitals and effectively "arks" for the ruling classes, super rich and their families so they can avoid all the panic and chaos and they will be guarded by gun boats. You might be told they are being converted to hospitals but trust me, you and your family wont ever get on those ships - they're for the elite to quaff champers while the survivors tear each other apart over the last tin of beans.

It’s exactly the same for me. No ONE is taking it as seriously as I am. I have people laughing saying that all the fake news has got to my head. I’m just over it, I’m going to shop this weekend clean out my extra freezer and store meat. Buy canned food, pack up on toilet paper, nappies etc so I can avoid the shops at all costs as long as possible. I’m in Australia and our flu season is coming up, people are by far not prepared for this. I’m even going to cancel my daughters swimming lessons and dance classes as she isn’t in school yet, so I can avoid all contact if I want too. Best of luck... prepare how you can and avoid crowded areas.

[@franknoordhuis3980]

I feel exactly the same way, its so frustrating that still some people are looking the other way and not taking ant precautions (sorry if i mispelled it) i live in the Netherlands and we have not dealt with any sort of real dangers yet like tsunami's tornado's, heavy earthquakes or anything like that. So im really affraid people will panic soon as its here, and the actions people do when there in panic will even make it worse. Also i dont feel like the government is still not taking it too seriously, it really gives me anxiety that still people are looking the other way while the virus is at our doorstep.

[@urinfamousr79]

As a nurse in NYC I can tell you the hospital I work at is not prepared. Were not hearing anything in the way of preparedness. Most staff are down playing it , management has said nothing. Even on the hospital website the information is about a week out of date.

Seriously, I would just quit my job. May seem selfish but it is better than dying while fighting an impossible epidemic with no equipment, especially since you could be getting exposed already without knowing it. If our government had brains then it would be giving up on hospitals already and setting up sick bed locations to let people wait it out with whatever care is possible, preparing to use the immune to take care of them as soon as we have some.

[@ShadyLady988]

Yea it's scary. Now with weeks of whispers from China about people reinfected dying of heart attacks and now we have a woman who was recovered and discharged 2/1 coming back w chest pain and being positive again experts are getting concerned its biphasic like anthrax and I dunno what's worse that we dont build antibodies and can get reinfected right away causing heart attacks or if its biphasic like anthrax and goes dormant then reemerges after heart tissue has been damaged. Noone takes this seriously. Watching the President last night was terrifying. If I hear it so generalized as "just like the flu" again I'm gonna scream!

Hard to have evidence when less than 500 people in the US have been tested due to both lack of testing capability and very restrictive circumstances when test is allowed.

Then stop or pause financial activity in terms of debt and penalties to incentivize the action. So if you have a car payment then it's paused til the next month with no penalties or hit to credit. Has there ever been a better time than now for the whole country or the world to just stop for a month to slow the spread of this?

The cost of assuaging panic by pretending "it's just a flu bro" is that eventually reality catches up and panic is redoubled. If they had said a month ago, that you shouldn't panic, but everyone should start stocking away a little extra dry food, medicines, toilet paper and so on so you can stay at home for at least 2 weeks and not leave the house if needed, then you wouldn't have gotten this kind of run on the store. If you have that much stuff at home to weather any short term emergency then you simple don't go into a crowd of people to fight them over the last box of pasta. Stores are just in time; there's no actual shortage, there'll be more food tomorrow, and the next day and the next. If you have no need to panic you don't panic.

The "golden period for containment" is clear in China and in Iran, but there are other procrastinations in EVERY country while professionals dither as they balance competing priorities, politicians waffle and the media either blurt panic or continue with distractions like Harry and Meghan. We need a national risk management protocol for emerging disasters be they floods or epidemics so that all key players are accountable for their responsibilities and everyone who is interested can understand who is responsible for the next moves. There is too much ill-directed blame during and after an event, and not enough opportunity to "blame" in the early stages.

We are not a communists country with the power over its citizens like the Chinese but most people would follow quarantine and area shutdowns if it was for their safety.

If we don't "self isolate" our country from affected areas and then don't quarantine and test those people we are looking for trouble. Right now we should be testing anyone who has been to Asia, Italy, the whole Middle East thanks to Iran and it's attitude and the shrines. All flights should be limited.

I know at our hospital, they quarantine possible contagious illnesses until R/O with appropriate testing while using required personal protective equipment and environment. Visitors are ALSO required to follow quarantine guidelines or NO visiting. That should be standard of care throughout the entire US. If no ppe available I would think you’d have every right to refuse assignment to that patient until such time that it is available for personnel. If the availability of ppe is really an issue I’d definitely be calling the Risk Management Department first. If needed, contact a personal lawyer for your protection and call the State Licensing Board for assistance protecting your hard earned license. In fact I’d call the licensing board to ask questions prior to your shift. The hospital administration will NOT protect you so protect yourself! Make sure you have your own malpractice insurance, most hospitals will throw staff under the bus to protect itself!

[@jessamineprice5803]

I worry what could happen in the US. I hope for the best, but then I remember Hurricane Katrina and how well our "emergency preparedness" worked then...

[@NNaadah]

I crunched the numbers on this. The expected "pandemic spread" rate is that 60% of the American public 180 million of the 300 million (10 year old census) people will get this. At a 15% needing hospital care the first time around; that's 27 million people. The US had a total hospital admission of 40 million people last year; so unless the US ups its hospital capacity by 80%; it's not going to be adequate. At a 3% death rate; of 180 million infected would be 5,400,000. death toll in the US. (provided the medical infrastructure doesn't buckle from the load); when it does, apparently that jumps to 5% or possibly even higher. Also, Trump said that based on what scientist know about the type of virus this is; it's likely to hit a "second wave" in the fall. Which this brings me to my next question? If recontacted patients get sicker the second or 3rd time around; how long has this thing really been circulating? Did the first "pandemic" already happen and the world never noticed because no one had died yet? Everyone just 'had a cold"?

[@Mellowmichelle]

I was working at a top hospital here in atl and we ran out of my of my size n95 mask this was a year ago, so I refused to take the patient. So this was during a normal operating period imagine during a pandemic.

[@matjebonklumen147]

If the coronavirus is manufactured then the only party has the capability to formulate antidotes would be the US!

[@alpinegirl]

Dr. Campbell, can you please help us understand the severity of this? I struggle to figure this out. China has taken unprecedented steps to control the virus. This tells me that the virus is horrific, especially with the impossible challenge of fighting a virus that's possibly airborne, or at least becomes aerosolized. And yet, even though we in Canada and the US are told that outbreaks here are inevitable, we're still encouraged to go about our daily lives, despite the fact that asymptomatic patients could potentially be spreading the virus to a large number of people. If this disease were horrific, wouldn't health experts encourage self-isolation *long* before an outbreak comes to light? I think you mentioned in a recent video that you're of the opinion that people should stop shaking hands at church. But wouldn't attending church in the first place be potentially dangerous?

[@MsLookinup]

Really, really good points.

[@alexandrebriard9175]

It’s because it’s not an horrific disease, most of the cases 80% are fine tho I think it’s much more contagious than the governments are telling us, for exemple the R0 is supposed to be between 2 and 4 tho it’s been the second time here in France that people have spread the virus to more than 12 people. The thing is that a virus like that can be very dangerous once we have a lot of cases but because right now the cases are less than a thousand in Europe people are not scared and won’t do anything... if you compare it to a much more lethal and violent disease like Ebola you can see that the reaction time is much faster when the disease is deadly. Still if we do not react quickly there will be a lot of deaths, but because we are in democratic countries the government will struggle to take measures like in China and let’s be honest they will probably not.

I agree. Because of the steady stream of misinformation from the media et al for the last several years, no one pays attention anymore. Lying is the new mantra.

[@dagmarsigridmanondenijs-bl7156]

Be Not Afraid Lying has been the human scourge of time. Has it not?

They are trying to prevent panic.... Panic will lead to aa uneven distribution of goods which will lead to violence and chaos if ppl are hungry

15:18 Food delivered through an apartment window? What if you're on the 23rd floor? And what if you have tape put over your front door that can't be broken as mentioned before? Maybe it gets put into the foyer and someone is allowed to collect it but only at a certain time? It sounds difficult, well, awful.

Dave Bellamy best to buy food in case u can’t

Can you discuss why these viruses come in waves? I believe there were 3 waves between 1918-1922.

[@terrid.9204]

This is just a guess but mutations in the virus could have been a reason. Mutations can create both milder and more virulent strains and those changes can alternate as viruses are always mutating as they infect new hosts.

@@terrid.9204 What Terri said. Viruses get milder over time, it's how they evolve to survive.

[@1dayumay548]

Irishtradchannel but getting milder it’s not considered to be a mutation? Or is it? I mean like a major mutation to be considered as a ‘wave’? I think it’s not a mutation in this case, it’s more like a natural thing, am I right?

[@terrid.9204]

@@Irishtradchannel no I said viruses alternate getting milder and stronger through mutations. There is no knowing which way they wiil change from time to time.

[@ravenkeefer3143]

Novel, new virus tends to have varied symptoms. Then second pass is more effective on weakened immunity. In Spanish, actually a swine flu, though natural mutation, the waves coordinated with troop movements. This covid is manipulated. Will act as bioweapon regardless of intended purpose...3 blooms...
