The most worst outcome of this pandemic is death ( death rates are all over the map ). One third of these cases on ventilators cannot make it。
The second worse is serious cases with "wet lung" and may have permanent lung damages that last through the remaining life (likely but not proven yet due to outbreak only goes back 5 months ago). At the moment, the three known predictors of going bad are deep muscle pain, elevated ALT (liver enzyme) and elevated hemoglobin level。
The third group had a bad time (feel like a piñata being beaten up) but recovered well for the time being。
The fourth group is lucky as they have the infection but do not even know they do or having very mild symptoms. The duration or extent of immunity is unknown at these early days。
The fifth group is not getting infected at all (for the time being) because extreme luck not in contact of the virus or they are "strong" despite getting exposed。
The above numbers and findings will likely to change because of short observation. These observations are the result of communication with my internist friend, my son, an anesthesiologist working in OR and ICU in addition to my search of literatures。
『The first coronavirus-related death in Texas was reported late Monday MARCH 16, 2020 in Matagorda County.
In a news release, the Matagorda County Emergency Operation Center confirmed that a man in his late 90s died Sunday evening at Matagorda Regional Medical Center with “symptoms consistent with COVID-19.”
Matagorda County spokesman Mitch Thames told the Houston Chronicle that the man, who was not named in the release, was tested while alive. The results came back positive on Monday, he said.』 摸 象 或 (不?) 著 木目 於 2020/03/2915:34回覆
