According to the World Health Organization,
1 in 7 cases require hospitalization
and 5% require intensive care with ventilators to survive.


SO explain this math...
595,953 total cases as of 3/27/20 at 8:27 PM..
So according to the above:
1 in 7 cases require hospitalization or 595,953 divided by 7 equals 85,136 hospitalized Covid-19 patients .
AND of the 85,136 hospitalized.... 5% require ventilators or 4,257 ventilators....hmmm....

Please some one explain because IF I use 5% of the 595,953 cases need ventilators... that is 29,798 ventilators world wide!

Something doesn't make sense here...

There could be a million of them stockpiled, and lefties would still argue that Trump is pissing on the wheels of progress.

Was already explained by Dr. Birx of the CDC Wed or Thurs... THe numbers don't add up.. Apparently YOUR 'envelope calculation" far exceeds the planning/analysis capabilities of the govt of NY state...

She really lashed out this stopping just short of calling it irresponsible.. ALSO if you want to refine that calculation, there's the matter of NEED over "time"... Not all of that 5% would have a need at the same time and IF they did -- patients could be shifted out of NYC to nearby counties.

It WOULD be possible to need something like 1/2 that number if the population was demographically aged or sick... But that's more of a Florida scenario than NYC... Not many aged "retire" in NYC anymore...

I was angry this morning because there was this story being reported everywhere that "NYC had 420 deaths on Wed alone".. Moron journalists didn't QUALIFY that statement. Turns out that on ANY DAY -- the 24 hospitals and all the coroners there have about 440 deaths.. There's a lot of hypochondriacs in NYC.. It's just their nature...
 
Do the figures take into account the Chinese made ventilators that, when tried, will be found to be dangerously defective or inoperative?

If China had excess ventilators to ship (and maybe they do since GE sent their entire med division over there circa 2011) -- Trump wouldn't be using the Def. Prod Act to drag so many companies into an emergency effort..

We'll find out soon if ANY shipments of ANYTHING from CHina will be coming in April...

The figures has nothing to do with who makes ventilators..
A) As of 3/29/20 &:59 AM 615,519 cases..
B) According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 7 cases require hospitalization and 5% require intensive care with ventilators to survive.
In a coronavirus crisis, who deserves a ventilator?
So divide 615,519 cases by 7 (1 of 7 cases require hospitalization) or 87,931 cases require hospitalizations of which
C) 5% of those hospitalized, i.e. 87,931 is 4,397 cases or 4,397 ventilators.

Please explain that.

You guys know that it is not only the COVID patients that use ventilators....right?

There are actually other people still in the hospital, as crazy as that sounds to you all.

I agree with you... others use ventilators... But explain are the WHO figures wrong, i.e. 1 out of 7 covid-19 patients require hospitalization.. that 87,931 and of the 87,931 hospitalized 5% require ventilators.
4,397 ventilators. Please answer this discrepancy.
 
I'm asking a simple question... Is the WHO right or wrong regarding 1 of 7 Covid-19 cases require hospitalization and of those 5% require ventilators.
You all do the math 615,519 cases divided by 7 equals 87,931 hospitalized and 5% of those or 4,397 require ventilators. Where is that math incorrect?

It’s 5% of all cases require ventilators support. Not 5% of hospitalized patients.
Simple misunderstanding.

Is your point that we don't need more ventilators?
 
Cuomo was on the Telly yesterday admitting he had 4 or 5 thousand stockpiled. Waiting for the “apex” all the wile screaming at Trump for 30,o00 more.

Stock piled? I think not.
