>The rapidly spreading coronavirus may have already infected half the UK population — but that is encouraging news, according to a new study by the University of Oxford.
>The modeling by researchers at Oxford’s Evolutionary Ecology of Infectious Disease group indicates the COVID-19 virus reached the UK by mid-January at the latest, spreading undetected for more than a month before the first official case was reported in late February, the Financial Times reports.
>But even though this suggests the spread is far worse than scientists previously estimated, it also implies that only one in a thousand people infected with COVID-19 requires hospitalization.
Isn't it strange that we still haven't seen a single video or picture of hospitals getting overwhelmed? I mean, I'm not saying it isn't happening or isn't going to happen. But wouldn't we have seen at least one picture or one video by now?
Nathan Thompson
That's good. Means it's really actually literally a literal nothingburger
Liam Hall
I've seen some from wuhan. Seems like ages ago.
Dominic Wright
There are loads faggot. I've seen lots of footage of overwhelmed Italian hospitals.
Jack Bailey
I swear a few years from now, coronavirus is going to be the go-to example of retarded human hysteria.
the uk passed a bill that turned itself into a police state. i have friends over there who have said their phones have stopped working when walking around hospitals.
So testing the most severe symptoms and people in contact with confirmed cases yields a 30% positive rate.
Yet half the country has it.
Makes sense.
James Martin
desu I probably got it and was only barely symptomatic.
Robert Smith
Those tests can only detect current infections. Not people who have had it and recovered.
Juan Morgan
You not looking at Italy? If that's not overwhelmed I have no idea how bad the us health service is that Italy right now is classed as standard
Samuel Jackson
are there stats of ppl in the uk who died with viral pneumonia in the last month?
Charles Perez
Ok, then how about the diamond princess, an enclosed community where they tested everyone, and the death rate was 1.2%?
What about South Korea, where they have administered 200,000 tests, and only found 9000 cases. There, even though the cases were skewed toward younger women, the death rate is approaching 1.5%
These studies that say "THE REAL NUMBER OF CASES IS 5,000,000!" are fucking stupid.
Jaxson Hughes
Italy is the second oldest country on Earth. How about a single picture from any hospital in the US. Is there even one?
Brody Price
What the fuck are you on a proxy your German we both know that's not normal
Wyatt Hernandez
The average age of the passengers on the Diamond Princess was much older than the average age of Americans or probably any other country.
David Perry
Healthcare in America is expensive af but it's also very good. Probably better than your Paki and Poo infested NHS.
Easton Hughes
>Isn't it strange that we still haven't seen a single video or picture of hospitals getting overwhelmed? Yes it's strange but your on the wrong side of good question. It's overwhelmed and terrible that's why it isn't shown
Caleb White
"N-nobody has two seconds to take a picture! And also we need to hide it from people so they don't see how bad it is because we don't want to justify our lockdowns."
Lol imagine believing someone can pull their phone out and take a picture.
Ian Hughes
I'll check this on Wednesday. I live close to a major hospital in London. I'll sneak around and record video then post on Yas Forums.
Isaac Sullivan
>Ignores SK
Justin Martinez
??? I saw a video from Italy and it made me scared as hell.
Joshua Thompson
If you deliver I'd suck your norfman cock on live stream.
I hope they let you out user. I walked by the hospital in my neighborhood in Brooklyn and it looks completely normal.
Oliver Gomez
Yes those videos are scary but keep in mind the average age of people dying in Italy is like 82 and they're all fat or obese. No one under 30 has died in Italy.
Mason Flores
Quality is not the problem, quantity is and the US isn't prepared for everybody who gets sick to immediately seek help unlike UK and Italy.
You can't only treat the rich now, that's why it's going to be so much worse in America. Cummy boy in NY is already begging for commandeering of the private health sector in NY
Your fucked mutt even your wife's bull can't save your family now
Elijah Anderson
How does this grab you. Do you remember being sick in the last hmmm idk 5-6mo? Symptoms? I'm sure whatever it us/was spread a long time ago. Just sayin.
Joseph Moore
I know, but I’m actually starting to get scared though because young people also need respirators some times and the boomers will just take them all up in my country and my country also has very very few hospital beds. Though I’ve stocked up on a lot of food, sanitary things and the meds I take so I try to leave my dorm as little as possible now.
The CFR in SK is about 1.2%. That's the CFR of known positives. How many infected people never got a test? 1? 2? 10? 100? The actually CFR is certainly lower than 1.2%. The question is, how much lower?
Wyatt Reed
>Healthcare in the US is expensive but good. Ha! That's fucking hilarious. Hospitals in the US are some of the worst in the world, hospital infection rates are ludicrously high, nurses and junior doctors have virtually no training, senior doctors only job is to prescribe the most expensive drugs they can rather than find effective solutions. Even if you are a millionaire, US healthcare is a joke, most elites go abroad for their healthcare.
Isaac Nguyen
well the first know case in china was November 17th 2019. you seen how fast it spread world wide when they started testing. this bs was a pandemic in January.
John Barnes
Mutt's Law
Landon Hall
>everyone is infected and that's a good thing
Brody Baker
That could happen with the flu too. My friend's friend almost died from the flu like two months ago. Oh shit maybe it was Corona.
Bentley Davis
when the fuck did you ever get a dry coof from a cold. i never have and i been dealing with it for the past 5 days so stfu.
Samuel Mitchell
OK insectoid
Evan Perry
You have Corona?
Jordan Green
>My friend's friend almost died from the flu like two months ago. Oh shit maybe it was Corona. Damn... I think it probably was corona Tbh, also if you're in a risk group you can get a vaccine against the flu.
Brody Mitchell
The CFR in SK goes up quite a bit every day. Its just taking a while for their patients to die.
Again, they did 200,000 tests, and only got 9000 positives. It is unlikely they missed many.
Bentley Sullivan
i would rather be treated by the worst american doctor than spend a single second in a hospital outside the us.
Caleb Johnson
yeah wtf else would a dry coof for 5 days be? my kid has it also.
Brayden Brown
>maybe this thing happened, cause we say so, possibly
I was very sick for about 3 days in January but I felt fine immediately afterward. I went to class because back then there were no confirmed US Coronavirus cases so I thought it was just a bad cold or maybe mild flu My brother and his fiancee got very ill around the same time, but they were living on the other side of the country in Oregon at the time
Connor Rogers
If you go to the cheap shitty hospital. What the data doesn't tell you is that if a shitty hospital can't treat you, then they will charge you tons of money to fly you to a good one. There are ten feeder hospitals in a medical group for every five star one.
Jordan Carter
they're predicting new york hospitals are going to get fucked in april.
Joshua Scott
Keep saying I think Corona has already been in the USA since at least early January and it was just dismissed as ordinary flu even though it had the same exact symptoms of Covid19. I likely already had it in the first week of January - mild cough that lasted for a couple weeks.
Josiah Martinez
It's literally nothing. This shit happens every year.
Gavin Sullivan
Also: Clear phlegm and very little of it unlike prior years.
Cooper Watson
Seems like the Chinese tricked you.
Jace Watson
They also predict 80% of the country will get it, everyone is going to die, etc. The numbers are all pulled out of their ass.
Jack Bell
Only bacterial infections produce green/yellow phlegm.
Hudson Turner
And bacterial infections are a secondary consequence of ordinary flu. I've had flu, I've had bronchitis, I've even had pneumonia. This was not flu, it was a dry cough and a fever that didn't last very long.
Carter Price
Neither the Romans or Germans could destroy England. It was the Chinese
Daniel Peterson
good news, we only need another 10% to get herd immunity.
John Thompson
Kinda my point, people are dying from the pneumonia, not the virus. It has a very high death rate overall. You will notice they avoid talking about that.
It would be hilarious if they roll out the antibody tests and it turns out most everyone has already had it.
Carson Reyes
Imagin if they fucked up that bad
Nathaniel Gomez
I get sick every year. My job is like that. A month ago, maybe 5 weeks i got a dry cough. Fever. Brutal chest pain. Only now can I exercise without serious pain. Maybe I got it, maybe not. Most painful illness of my life though.
