what is the death spiral of the disease?

[onethatcares]

If you become infected and are one of the unlucky ones to contract the most virulent form of Corona virus.

What are your last days like?

I realize this is a strange question but I find it necessary to ask it.

1. Are we becoming hysterical at this point?

I mean come on, this isn't the plague, is it?

3. It's not the plague

but it has potential to be devastating. If 40% of the country gets infected, which is what some experts predict, and fatality rate is 2-3%, then millions will die in this country and millions more around the world.

4. The way it is going, when the US twigs to how serious it has become...it will be too late.

Trump and GOP won't care until there tens or hundreds of thousand are dead.

They are betting it won't for their re-election sake.

We will see.

2. Pneumonia.

Can't breath as your lungs fill with glop. Breathing treatments are given, probably percussion over your ribs to loosen up stuff to get it to drain.

5. thank you.

Thank you.

6. You will end up in the ICU on a ventilator and go bankrupt

8. It all depends on the individual.

There is no specific routine. There are several paths all depending on a persons weaknesses.

9. Well you may be on a ventilator, because this causes pneumonia.

This disease prevents the cilia on the bronchioles, bronchi from moving phlegm out so you cough it up. The inflammation process, which is a reaction to foreign matter, in this case in your lungs, causes more fluid and the alveoli-air sacs at the end of the bronchioles that effectuate air/gas exchange are overwhelmed and can not get rid of CO2 or intake oxygen. You blood/organs become septic, you may suffer septic shock, die of septicemia or a dry drowning. That is why you see some patients having dialysis. You are medicated so you do not fight the ventilator. Better not to think about it.
