But what about all those young, healthy people in serious/critical condition?

It’s a small amount.....but still much more than what occurs with “regular” flu.

It's also a different pattern, when we get a really bad strain of flu it tends to impact young people especially badly because their immune system over-reacts. With this it seems to be more so a matter of where the infection is able to take root. If it's confined to the upper respiratory tract you'll likely recover, when it gets into the lower respiratory tract, or else where (like your guts, resulting in GI symptoms) the chances of recovery go down.

I agree with that. It is a matter of where the infection goes.

I felt a swelling near my lung area. I was worried that I was progressing to pneumonia.

Amid coronavirus, Walmart says it's seeing increased sales of tops — but not bottoms

Come on folks, be honest. Who's working from home in their underwear?

Private resorts for billionaires are also doing a roaring trade.

Information from Funeral homes in China suggest the Chinese government is hiding their death toll which doesn't help epidemiologists trying to factor this information into their pandemic models

For example this one mortuary received 5000 urns in two days which is double the reported death toll from the entire Wuhan

I'm actually curious as to how many people believe China at all in the numbers they've reported. I think the numbers are grossly bogus. Lies from the type of government that is predicated and dependent on lies to exist.

Once the lockdowns are lifted and there is a return to some level of normalcy then China should be coerced to open its borders to inspectors (like weapons inspectors in Iran or Iraq).

The US applied economic sanctions against rogue states and in my view China's actions are putting the entire world in peril.
