@Deadly_Statins it's pretty nasty. the systemic inflammatory response is intense and can hit hard and fast. not a cold or flu at all. not like anything I've ever caught before. glad I was able to abort it.
@Deadly_Statins trying very hard not to catch it again. basically just hiding out in my residence as much as possible.
@Deadly_Statins the percentage of people with active infections out in public right now is obscene; it would be apocalyptic if IFR were higher.
unfortunately because there are so many of them, hospitals are turning people away and IFR *is* getting higher, slowly, inexorably.
The less aggressive usually draw the moderate/severe line based on need for oxygen support. However, this labels most hospital cases severe, losing granularity. Some add a 'critical' category to compensate, but this is an overloaded term.
In discussions here, I draw the moderate/severe line around onset of hypoxemia on high-flow oxygen, often onset of pulmonary microthrombosis and soon rising D-dimer, with a high risk of ARDS and DAD but not quite there yet. This matches my reading of the literature.
@poiThePoi@GephenS@youyanggu@mattparlmer No. But keep in mind 30% is the highest reported figure. Vast majority of counties are lower. So it could make sense roughly given that.
At this point they are just letting it rip. Not enough people cared soon enough with enough coordination.
@poiThePoi@GephenS@youyanggu@mattparlmer Although tbf the average visually at least does appear to be about 20% as you assumed. I agree with that reading of the map colors.
Either something is off, or... the delayed impact from positive test to hospitalization is going to go entirely unmanaged. They are full already.
@poiThePoi@GephenS@youyanggu@mattparlmer If this model is accurate, which it may indeed be, then Iowa CFR is likely to increase materially within the next 2 weeks as staffing ratios fall and admission refusals cut deeper into the scale of severity in spite of overflow capacity.
