duki@ I agree with you in trying to keep numbers of infected as low as possible (flatten the bump). And in that context it is a fault not to have closed (locked down from travel outside) New York IMO. --------------------------------
To JL input on Respirators - I 100% agree. What good vill 500.000 respirators do after the crises?
And being a Lay person in this - I absolutely agree that if a corona-patient reach the state where respirator is needed - the battle is already to a big extend lost.
As the French doctor pointed out very exact: It is all about starting the treatment BEFORE the amount of virus accelerates (mentioned could be billions' if not treated).
Treated the right way (starting early) you dont need respirator's - to JL's comments.
