Corona Virus and Disclosure - Public Reactions

[Longeyes]

10% is one in ten people. If you have 100 infected individuals that is 10 people. How many spare ITUs do you think hospitals have? they've cleared off all the minor operations in the U.K., but people will still need others.

Worth watching the news from Italy to get the heads up.
They've shut down all shops now except food stores and pharmacies this morning

Just for a bit of clarification, Pneumonia is simply a symptom of a particular type of infection, of which there are a variety of causes (bacteria, viri, Fungi etc) See: https://www.southerncross.co.nz/grou...toms-treatment
This is further clarified here: https://worcesterhealth.org/protect-...formation-2020
So, infections can cause Pneumonia, but Pneumonia is not a disease in itself; it is a symptom.

The serious and critical rate is currently tracking at 11%: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
The growth rate of infections is exponential: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/a...23467b48e9ecf6
Beware of the last value on each of these graphs, they rely on areas reporting their figures for the day, and due to time-zones this means data updates are staggered. A flat figure does not mean the virus has suddenly stopped.
In terms of cases with an outcome (cured or death) the death rate is tracking at 6%. This is higher because not all mild cases are diagnosed, and is expected to be closer to 2%.
The spread of Covid19 is quite high, with an R0 tracking from 2.4 and up (some say 3, others 6.7, it's simply bad, and much higher than the standard Flu.)

For a comparison to the Flu, see this:

Some one has made these they are very good visualizations of what's going on

Well, the vaccination I got was for Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, also known as pneumococcus.
Has Pneumo right in it's name.

Thanks for posting... That graph puts it into perspective.

That's good to hear, since bacterial pneumonia can complicate viral pneumonia cases. That is, someone gets COVID-19, develops viral pneumonia, and then bacterial pneumonia develops as a secondary infection that makes recovery even harder. If you're vaccinated against pneumococcus, that helps even if viral pneumonia remains a risk.

Seems the older I get, the more needles I get jabbed with. LoL.
Fingers crossed the PPSV23 vaccine does it's job.
Now if only they can hurry the COVID-19 vaccine into production.
