“The whole population getting infected with the coronavirus will be vital to stopping coronavirus“ 🤦‍♀️
Now let’s talk serious.
Let’s say only 20% of the population is infected.
Let’s say only 10% of those need hospitalisation, 5% need ER.
In my 15,000 people home town, that’s 300 in hospital, 150 in ICU.
Hospital has 145 beds, 35 in ER -7 for coronavirus
”We only have around 4,000 intensive care unit (ICU) beds in England, 80% of which are already full.”
”It’s not just about Covid-19 patients -it’s about all the other patients”
But hey, take it on the chin, herd immunity -let it spread to stop it.

Govt plan/"Natural herd immunity"=90%-95% of the population infected.
Using the lowest estimates: That's 600k deaths (with a 1% death rate).
Italy struggling showed overwhelmed healthcare system can multiply that rate by almost 7.
Acting "may" be advised.
I know these numbers seem too high to ever become true
But think about it
5.4 million people with ashtma
2,273,200 people who had previously been diagnosed with cancer
Chronic smoking-related lung disease: 1 million people
All the other disease
And this 👇
(Oh, and the elderly -12 million over 65)
(That's 20 million people at risk -just those I mentioned)
(30% of the country)
On French TV: Doctor explaining there are some 40/50-years-old w/ no specific pre-conditions in ICU
Can hospitalisation/ICU/death rate be higher than recorded rates if nothing is done to contain the disease?
We only have the data of countries trying to keep 🦠 from spreading
