Sorry to hear that Snake, this madness has peaked and things are improving soon. Three counties in CA has reopened in opposition of SIP. I'm having track day @ Thunderhill in 2-weeks.
Well, my 101-yr old grandma in Montréal was diagnosed with it couple weeks ago. Caught it from nurse who visited weekly without wearing face-mask! When nurse showed symptoms, they tested everyone in home and quite a few had it with no symptoms whatsoever. Luckily gran doesn't have any underlying health issues and is recovering nicely.
There's cause and effect, with CV-19 making matters worse if you're already ill with something else. But it doesn't appear to kill you outright if you're in healthy shape (young folks and kids). However, what's throwing off stats is that hospitals are being encouraged to declare CV-19 as being "cause of death" with higher $-payouts. So if you had chronic-bronchitis and pneumonia then CV-19 pushes you over that last 5%, they would declare you died from it.
Recent studies in CA and NY appear to show much, much larger numbers of people being infected and recovering just fine without ever visiting hospital to be tested. So while death-count is known, denominator will increase at much faster rate. Of 650 000 that die each year from commom-cold/flu, it's estimated that 60-90 million are infected. Estimated because all 60-90 million don't actually go to hospital to get tested.
That's what is overwhelming our hospitals (outside of NY). Actually
treating CV-19 is small load, less than traffic accidents, common cold/flu or cancer. But it's the
testing that's so intensive. Due to mass hysteria whipped up by irresponsible media, everyone who just sneezes (from allergies or household dusting) ends up going to hospital to get tested. Or is reported to police by their neighbors.
