This is extremely likely due to the incubation period and experts repeating that many younger patients have mild symptoms or are asymptomatic. It’s present in people walking around thinking they have a minor cold or allergies. Very likely 1000s of cases currently, and this is a shared opinion by experts in the US.

I read where 400 out of the 700 people on the diamond princess that were confirmed cases had no symptoms.
 
Yeah you know guys, we have it under total control. We are the best prepared and the most well equipped..

We just kinda.. you know.. let it infect a nursing home, the worst place to have it..


these idiots continue to say "low risk". too many selfish people traveling and spreading it thinking "it cant happen to meeee"

I wonder how many thousands are just walking around with the sniffles with hardly any symptoms?

bingo. Mortality rate seems high but there must be plenty of undiagnosed people with mild symptoms. It’s probably around 1% or less and obviously older people with other conditions are going to die at a higher rate.

30 first responders that were at the nursing home are in isolation and 12 show symptoms. Why is this being so mismanaged? There are pictures of them removing infected patients with no gloves. WTF
 
I think we will know where we stand in the US by the end of the week. Either we will see a huge jump in cases or we will not and it will signal a very large percent very mild or asymptomatic or it just be hard to see lots of spread here.

Nah not enough testing going on to make a difference.
 
I'm not sure this has been posted yet in here, so I'll drop this twitter thread off...



Very frustrating for someone that is actually sick and has something that could exacerbate this virus, and it lends more credence to the idea that we're probably not going to know the true numbers for this virus in the end.
 
What are theses people getting treated with? Vit C? Tamaflu? Elderberry? I haven’t seen a lot of talk about the treatment.

Most likely supportive care. Maybe antivirals although that’s depending on the protocol at the hospital. They could be using some experimentally, I’m not sure.

Usually the body ends up fighting viruses pretty effectively, it’s the secondary infections such as viral pneumonia turning into bacterial pneumonia that’s the concern...such as getting bilateral pneumonia and leading to ARDS (Acute respiratory distress syndrome). This then requires mechanical ventilation, and then organs start to fail, because your lungs can’t oxygenate your blood properly, which leads to organ failure (kidneys first as they’re farthest from the heart and lungs)...at that point you’re likely looking at being hooked up to an ECMO, which is life support. An ECMO machine handles the functions of your heart and lungs for you.
