Where does Russia say that?
Russia says 40% of their ventilator cases are ppl under 40 yrs old
either the “this is an old ppl disease” is fake news or this thing is mutating

Damn. Joe Diffie gone. John Prine critical.
not sure about mutating but only "older are greatly impacted" is def overstated
Pretty sure the CDC said that last week.
Moscow. March 29. INTERFAX.RU - About 15% of severely ill patients with coronavirus in Moscow are younger than 40 years old, the operational headquarters for monitoring and monitoring the situation with coronavirus in Moscow reported.
According to the agency's interlocutor, almost 40% of patients with coronavirus in Moscow who are on mechanical ventilation are younger than 40 years old.
"Statistics show that the disease is severe not only in elderly Muscovites. Almost half of patients with severe lung damage are people under 60 years old, their share in the total number of severe patients is 45%," headquarters told Interfax.
Thanks. I hate when they switch groups like that (under 40 to under 60).
i have a feeling affected age is trending down
been watching this for a while
2nd wave could put a hurting on youth
why? I think because virus will adapt to stronger young immune system and trick it to give it all its got. the young persons immune system will trigger that internal storm that kills its host
lets hope this is not the case
While it's true he said not to hold me to that he did say we'll be more in the middle because the model is set up in such a way to give worst case scenario and worst case scenarios never really materialize.
Being in the middle is not exactly something you'd want to hear either.
facci would not have said 100,000 if that was a long shot
worst case scenario is a couple millions
I agree it would require an re-alignment of world power. I'm not sold it's going to happen anytime soon. We're much different as a society and world as we were back then.
Also, changing of the guard doesn't necessarily mean better than what we have.
The outbreaks are all starting to pop now.
I'm amazed at how poor the data is. I get that health professionals are busy, but the states should all have EM professions and data professionals that can step in on the function of delivering data that actually produces clear analysis.
Change is amoral, like economics. Cares nothing for people.
Short of total annihilation things can always get worse.
At this current rate a few million infected and 100,000 dead isnt a stretch
If we keep bailing out the status quo, we deserve everything we get.
It could be other things besides your "either or".
This show is going to cost the world a fortune and it’s because Asian countries, primarily China, didn’t clean up their wet markets. If the worlds governments are stupid enough to endure this disaster and not do anything to prevent the next one, like put tariff on countries out their wazoos if they don’t clean up their , then they deserve to get hit with the next panepedemic that kills their people and destroys their economies.
100k is one of the best case scenarios imo
"If we don't mitigate to the extent we're trying to, you can reach those numbers. You can make a big soundbite about it but what we're trying to do is not let that happen. So instead of focusing on the upper or the lower we're trying to focus on pushing it all the way down. Trying to not prematurely undo all the mitigation. " - Fauci
"Dr. Fauci stands by 100,000 death predictions." - CNN
Usa ,meet corona virus
USA today is running with 200,000... because, why not?
I hope Americans feel that kind of righteous zeal when it comes to the failings of our own governments. They are much easier to change.
Social distancing guidelines extended until April 30th though so it's possible the great Dr. Fauci purposely threw those numbers out there, not to instill fear, but to drive home the seriousness of what loosening up on the mitigation could cause.
