One thing that hasn't added up to me in everything i have read. If the only people primarily vulnerable are those with compromised immune/respiratory systems, why are doctors who are treating patients dying from the virus? Unless they already have compromised systems.....

A) it’s affecting healthy people as well, albeit a much lower rate.
B) I’m seeing claims that being exposed to a higher viral load puts them at higher risk for complications. Haven’t seen that proven but perhaps we know it from other viruses.
C) COVID Doctors are overworked, extremely exhausted and more vulnerable. What I don’t understand about this explanation is once they contract the virus they have plenty of time to rest up. Dr Li Wenliang died about 42 days after getting infected.

Thanx.

Figured the latter but haven’t seen that verified anywhere.

How long does it take people to recover?

Just wondering, is the virus still going on in China or is it finished up?
We will never know the truth as the individuals broadcasting the truth to the world have disappeared & the government covers it all up.

Im wondering if the lack of tests available is on purpose to lessen the amount of positive cases.

It’s not finished in China, but there are many ways to verify that it’s been getting much better over there.

I’ve seen 3-6 week hospitalization period quoted often, obviously only for those that are part of the 20% that get severely ill.

Seeing the major corporations saying that they are putting people back to work is a good sign that things have gotten much much better there.

This would presumably fit with the speculation that the dangers are coming from the immune response rather than from the actual virus, that being a speculative reason why children are not being affected much.

Thanks! Was wondering about the others as well. People who don't feel sick and are only tested because someone they were in contact with is sick. How long are they contagious / quarantined?

If, indeed, someone were infected by 2/18/20, that would have been three weeks ago.  It could be that there are one week old cases walking around without major symptoms yet (but still spreading it to to others).  Additionally, that was in the very early stages in the US.  People who were exposed were probably not exposed continually to multiple persons.  Their immune system wasn't repeatedly bombarded with new exposures like what happens when around larger numbers of infected people.
STAY AWAY FROM CROWDS and even GROUPS.

Who said it isn’t all over town? It takes time to spread, its starts as a slow drip and grows exponentially

If they are tested positive, I believe they need to be tested again after 14 days and get a negative result. A couple issues with that - the tests do have some false negatives, and there have been people that recovered and were "reinfected", which supposedly means they either weren't tested right or the virus was undetectable at that point.

Just found this new article - "Patients with the new coronavirus keep the pathogen in their respiratory tract for as long as 37 days, a new study found, suggesting they could remain infectious for many weeks"

As many communities are making the decision to shut down, if you do have an opportunity to pray in a minyan over the next couple of days then please enjoy it, honor it, cherish it and celebrate it. Sing, dance and thank Hashem!

Even something as simple as praying with a minyan can disappear in an instant. Say Amen and dance with joy that you have the opportunity to pray with a minyan today. May we merit to be healthy and always pray in a minyan.

The next minyan you go to may be the last minyan you’ll have for a while. Enjoy every second of it and speak to Hashem from your heart.

Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy day!
