Lem. Pretty sure my whole family already had it and did not know.

Respectively ...you don't know . You were never tested for it so how could you know what it was ?

Re " We are all going to be fine ". Well if the trends in parts of Italy are replicated here in any way we will certainly NOT going to be " all fine " .
You in ER may be at one of the highest risks of all who post here .

Yes 80% of those who get it may experience a mild flu like case ...BUT ...data we have shows 20% of those that get infected will need hospitalization and 10% may be critical

Perhaps you can inform the board what % of those diagnosed seasonal flu require hospitalization .
Thx

PS. here U are

It is estimated that the flu results in 31.4 million outpatient visits and more than 200,000 hospitalizations each year.


You only need 1 m to be infected to get to 200,000 hospitalizations with COVID19
