Gov. Cuomo: “Anyone
[b]at high risk has a very low chance of survival. [/b]
Doctor asked about survival of those on ventilators: Only 20% on ventilators survive.
Various Other Doctors: 25-50% of the infected are asymptomatic, or have such mild symptoms they don’t know they are infected.
Me: Don’t let anyone shame you into not taking the most conservative measures of protection. If we had all been given N95 masks from the beginning (now we know just speaking/breathing can spread it) the hospitals and health care workers would not be in this crisis now. I truly believe at least 50% of those who died would still be alive. A bus driver died one week after a woman started coughing on his bus. In the grocery store, after someone almost coughed in my face, I got hit with the flu, 3-days later. That further developed into bronchitis further down in my lungs than I’ve ever had in my life. It has taken months to get back to normal. Imagine if that guy gave me Covid-19 instead of the flu, I wouldn’t be here now to write this. I’m high risk, and you can shame me until the cows come home, but it’s not your life.
