    “Catastrophe medicine” - this is what Italy has imposed on its overburdened healthcare systems - all of them. It is war time triage. There, with roughly 15,000 cases of covid 19, so many are critical that the docs are now required to choose who gets life saving care..... and their government announced their triage guidelines. So if you get critically ill or compromised in any way, by any disease or trauma your level of care will depend on these guidelines. In essence only the strong will be allowed access to critical care. People will now die from other ailments, from trauma, from any lethal situation because their systems are plugged up with too many covid sufferers.

     

    THIS is why we ALL “MUST” do our utmost to slow the spread of this disease. Our health systems have their own limits which can get filled quickly. You could get covid and survive because of your age and health status........  then dump your motorcycle and require some fast and serious care - nope, not available. Too busy, too full.... too bad - so sad.

     

    This is not the flu. There is zero immunity to this and it spreads easily. If you happen to experience a bad case for whatever reasons you are seriously ill. Stop looking at how many die and ask how many are deathly ill and can we deal with that?

    That is a huge issue.

     

    The death rate is irrelevant if those close to you succumb to the virus. While 1-2% doesn't sound bad compared to Ebola (80-90+%) and SARS (20%), but with huge numbers infected the number of people who due will be exponentially greater.

     

    The huge medical push is to attempt to stop the virus from becoming established as a seasonal event. Flu mortality is roughly 0.1%,
