Where the Hell Are We with this CCP Virus?
And where is the U.S. with this pandemic? Our daily cases are rising at a 45 degree angle, doubling every nine days which is actually an improvement but in no way a sign that it is slowing down.
Our nationwide death rate is doubling every four days, not good, but remember that it takes two weeks for most cases to cause mortality, we don't know if that death rate will continue. And of course they are using the confirmed cases of infection, how many others were with mild cases and never went to get tested or get medical care? In the end does it really matter if the number of deaths is doubling every four days? The actual morbidity rate on the entire nation is unknown but could be catastrophic.
And Oklahoma? At one point we were doubling the new cases every five days but that is up to every four days. And we were fifth in the nation at one point on the death rate but it has come down a bit so that is good. We are learning to treat the inflicted it seems. Our deaths are doubling every five days so if that holds up we expect 90 deaths by April 10th. Pray that this is wrong.
However the state is gearing up, more hospital beds are being created, and there are some promising treatments including using plasma from recovered patients to spread the antibodies to sick patients. Hang in there, wear masks, keep away from people if possible.
