>>11445737The most difficult part of NCoV to deal with is not how high its lethality really is, but that the symptoms of this virus.
if "left untreated", it can quickly develop to a stage where it can be fatal.
At the same time, it is transmitted by air / droplet / aerosol, and R0 is as high as 3.8 (data from the Lancet), which means that millions of people will be infected and then in a state that will not die temporarily but "Mild" (term comes from WHO) conditions that require continuous treatment.
The result is that people run on medical resources.
Then every hospital capable of receiving treatment will be in a state of chronic shortage of personnel and supplies, because no hospital on the planet is currently designed to accept and treat people as a percentage of the local population. There is also no response plan for medical personnel who are also infected at this particular situation. what's the result? The hospital was flooded with rich or powerful, and the rest were waiting to die at home.
Maybe your immune system is strong enough to generate your own immunity before the symptoms of pneumonia come to a lethal stage, then you survive. If your immune system is not strong enough, or you may have underlying diseases (such as long-term smoking, obesity, diabetes, cancer, or whatever), then you can basically only pray at this stage.
