Anonymous Coward User ID: 67564836 Canada 02/28/2020 09:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | COVID requires a nation to hospitalize 20% of its population - impossible to do, therefore... This is from listening to Dr. John Campbell on Youtube.
Out of 100 people infected with COVID, 80% of the cases are mild.
14-15% of people will become quite sick, so that they may need to spend some time on an oxygen mask, intravenous drip,and antibiotics to fight off secondary infections. Even these patients will place a great strain on the health care system of any country.
5% of people will be critical and need to spend considerable time in the intensive care unit.
A further concern is that the health care workers will be unable to work if they are infected. No country has sufficient oxygen available for this crisis. No country can attend to 20% of its population needing hospitalization. |

It's not hype, Dr. Campbell is about as level-headed, rational, and informed a man as you are going to find. |

Still, apply those numbers to your town/city compared to number of ICU beds available. No town can handle it. Even if you divide the number by 12 months. |

Yes, you're correct. This and the breakdoown of the global supply chain will be the biggest issues. |
