Coronavirus: How Many Diagnosed Cases? How Many Deaths?






TWO THINGS ARE LIKELY TRUE:

1) In many cases, people could have Coronavirus, but it remains undiagnosed, because they don't go to the Doctor, or the medical facility does not test them

2) In many cases, people could be dying of undiagnosed Coronavirus.

We can't really know.

Isn't that a low percentage of recoveries?

Indicates a slow recovery process, huh?

Always On Watch said...

Pasto,
Yes.

Or maybe complete recovery isn't possible?

Pastorius said...

Do you have any reason to believe this?

I've seen some of the x-rays released to the public. Those lungs! Looks like permanent damage to me.

Lungs can be so damaged that the patient suffers low oxygenation (hypoxemia).

Gotcha.
