Vaccines against pneumonia, such as pneumococcal vaccine and Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib) vaccine, do not protect against coronavirus
You are right Mikala,
I understand that it doesn't protect you against CATCHING the virus. My question was that if you HAVE the Corona virus, would it help protect you against the pneumonia aspect of the infection?
The article Lilyflower cited suggests that it WOULD be helpful in preventing a bacterial lung infection.
I know that. I said people are thinking linear...1,2,3,4 like the flu.
Doubling is 2x but I have seen 4x and our numbers are more than 2x at this point.
I've notice that many posters are "wow"ing the fast increases.
How do you explain the reality to someone with no understanding of math? Frustrating.
The difference in time for it to spread through the entire population of say Wuhan at 11 million people, and the entire united states at 327 million people at its current growth rate would be:
11
22 4 days
44 8 days
88 12 days
176 16 days
352 20 days
Having many many more people only buys you a small amount of additional time. A couple weeks, maybe 3 - that's it.
By April 28th, there will be, or have been, 364,102,440 Coronavirus infections in America.
We won't really get there, of course, but the method I used to compute it is sound. Here goes.
We had - as of yesterday - 4704 cases.
The 10 day average of increases is 31%.
Roll that figure forward until the end of April and we will have infected every single person in America.
By the end of March there will be/have been 234,860 cases. About 1.6% will die, according to current US statistics.
I am going to post a new figure every day, which will represent the new corrected figure.
Stay away from other people. There is no vaccine and no cure.
That’s because other countries hunkered down and our people are going to the beach and licking toilet seats.
Licking toilet seats is an extreme example, I don't think the Europeans are taking this seriously either. How they handle the crisis scares me too.
