CORONA VIRUS/ COVID-19 MEANS PANIC AND ANXIETY

 

It's important to remember that there is scientific proof that most of the cases are mild, with symptoms and signs that disappear on their own.

This means that having a lot of people infected is not really a serious situation, Angela Merkel stated bluntly that 60 to 70% of the german population will get infected, it's simple maths!

The real problem is that nations to which this is now a serious public health issue and are suffering an immense and indecent number of casualties only focused on the spread of the disease

- it means basically rulers PANICKED instead of reasoning - 

overlooking and totally missing the real problem: severe cases that complicate and require ventilation; immediate social isolation to decrease spread rate and severe cases to a reasonable quantity in order to have sufficient response, from the health services, to the severe cases. 

 

Ventilation ultimately could lead death (the fear we are all focused on) into life. (Click on the left to read the exercise prepared by Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in 2018, about installed ventilation capacity on several nations, in case of an outbreak)

Maybe, just maybe having enough ventilators for the complications would be way more effective in avoiding death (not to mention the economic impact!) than focusing just on the spread of a disease where most cases are mild, with symptoms that disappear on their own.
