Coronavirus Good News!

"Good news: A new study finds that the novel coronavirus has become less lethal over the past few months. While there’s no evidence that mutations are making the virus less deadly, treatments have improved enormously as scientists have learned more.

Doctors have observed that the coronavirus case-fatality rate seems to have decreased considerably since the early days of the pandemic. But a pre-publication study from Italian universities and local public-health authorities comparing the case-fatality rates in two provinces (Ferrara and Pescara) during March and April is the first to show this might be true.

After adjusting for age and comorbidities, the study found the overall death rate declined by some 40% from March to April with huge reductions in those over age 80 (from 36.3% to 16.1%), and subjects with hypertension (23% to 12.1%), diabetes (30.3% to 8.4%), cardiovascular disease (31.5% to 12.1%), COPD (29.7% to 11.4%) and renal disease (32.3% to 11.5%).

The study’s findings need to be confirmed by more studies of fatality rates over time in other places. But the researchers note that the decline in death rates is unlikely to be due to less crowded hospitals since infection rates were low in the two provinces and never exceeded the intensive care unit capacity. Hospital utilization could confound results in other hot spots.

They say their study confirms anecdotes from expert physicians that “the early administration of more tailored medications, is considerably improving the clinical course of COVID-19.” Doctors are using a cocktail of targeted therapies including repurposed HIV antivirals, anticoagulants and monoclonal antibodies like tocilizumab that lower inflammatory cytokine attacks on organs."

LET'S PARTY!!!!

That's great. I heard an ER doctor on CNN confirm that hospitals simply know how to treat very sick COVID patients much better now. They used to put people much more quickly on ventilators, but that wasn't the correct approach and may have caused deaths.

We know a lot more about how to treat severe cases of coronavirus, which is good.

When will we see the stats on how many people died from improper treatment?
Ooops, can't do that without opening the hospitals and doctors to lawsuits from greedy lawyers
.
Can we subtract out all the people who died in nursing homes from NY Health department order to put CV19 patients back?

Lots of questions and complications

WHO dr. (Cant think of the name) says that she has evidence that asymptomatic carriers are NOT spreading the virus. Which makes perfect sense. Doesn't mean the masks go away ... but if proven pretty ...damn close to opening back up completely.

A bad flu? You must be stupid all along and still is. Roughly twice the number of Americans died due to the bad flu than the Vietnam war in a few months even under lockdown. Maybe we should lockdown when the normal flu goes bad next time.

^ Some moron made that comparison in the media and it makes no more sense now than it did then, it's fucking stupid.

365,000 people died in the Civil War, almost all Americans
291,000 Americans died in WW2
18 died in Grenada

Do those numbers help you out somehow?
Why not use that organ sitting in your cranium for something other than a paper weight?

I thought all along we had been played.
I never believed in the shutdown.
There seems to be more damage by the shutdown than by
the virus alone.

Well, we're going to need hospitals to do better, because we just recorded a milestone today in the OC. Above 300 hospitalizations for the first time. And we've broken out of our nice plateau and are heading up.

As stay at home orders are ending, we're also beginning to see states such as Arizona and Arkansas are finding their hospitals may soon not have enough beds for the new cases that are starting to come in now.
