Something else to keep in mind is this part: > The figure 5 shows, for the patients who died positive COVID-19, the median time in days, who spend from onset of symptoms to death (8 days), from onset of symptoms to hospitalization (4 days) and from hospitalization to death (4 days). At this point, we know the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions are dying fast; it is also not unreasonable to think they're more vulnerable overall. But not enough time has passed to say yet whether younger people without pre-existing conditions are not particularly susceptible or are just a little less susceptible but take longer to succumb. If the statistics are a week for someone over 65, from onset to death, and a month for someone under 40 w/o pre-existing conditions, it's going to skew the hell out of the statistics this early in the outbreak. |
