You should totally post in my sub /s/fearmonger. You want mod?
I love listening to Doctors and Nurses discuss COVID19 on Twitter......so much more informative than anything else.
The USA is NOT Ready for COVID19.
Not enough Hospital Beds, Not enough Ventilator Machines, not enough ICU beds, not enough Isolation rooms......etc.

2) in earlier post, there was evidence that large # of critically ill needed a ventilator machine and for long duration. There’s barely enough ICU beds and ventilator machines for current patients in US. We are not ready.

Exactly.
Some quick very low-ball numbers.
-3% of the US becomes infected ~10M persons.
-14-19% Severity rate ~1.4M-1.9M persons
-ICU within the US has roughly 120K beds TOTAL, most of which are used at one point or another.
-Mortality Rates can skyrocket under this.

The problem with this disease : it has a lot more severe cases than influenza, and without appropriate health care for pneumonia, you die at higher rates.
By doing the math like you did, you can't expect to cure anyone. And by the way there are also regular patients.

The Death Rate in Iran is much higher than has been reported in China. (Of course, we all know China has been lying like a rug about their true mortality rates.)

The mortality rate of medical staff who contracted the disease from patients is also a red flag.
Whilst they may have contracted the disease before proper controls were put in place, and had pre-existing conditions, the possible ramifications have to concern everyone.

My Comment: The exact same thing is happening here in the USA all across this nation with undiagnosed COVID19 patients being erroneously treated for just the flu, with no level 4 HazMat gear......means our health care professionals are going to be gutted, just like China and just like Iran. The woman in Solano County, CA (near Travis Air Force Quarantine Base) was in the hospital 11 days before she was properly diagnosed with COVID19. The reason was, the CDC refused to test her cuz she hadn't traveled to Wuhan, China!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All those Doctors and Nurses exposed. Doctors and Nurses are highly trained, they don't grow on trees. It takes about 25 -30 years to get replacements.....if you see what I mean.
Here we go! Health Care Hospital Workers Test Positive for COVID19!

China has 760 million persons under some form of quarantine - with 80 million under full house arrest. This is TEN PERCENT of the world's population. There's a reason China has done this.
Further, science is showing you can be reinfected & more severely the second time around.
