A very scary report from the Center for Health Security on the impact of COVID-19 on US hospitals
Even if we assume that the case-fatality rate for COVID-19 is 0.5% instead of the global CFR of 3.4% reported by the WHO, we won’t have enough ICU beds.
This is part of the problem that people don't understand..hospitals will be overwhelmed..people who have heart attacks, need emergency care..won't be able to because hospitals will be overflowing with "COVID-19 patients of all ages.
Yes it kills mostly the older, but that is because they can't endure the severe lung fibrosis that this causes the way younger people can.
>"The impact of a COVID-19 pandemic on hospitals is expected to be severe in the best of circumstances. Currently, US hospitals routinely operate at or near full capacity and have limited ability to rapidly increase services. There are currently shortages of healthcare workers of all kinds. Emergency departments are overcrowded and often have to divert patients to other hospitals.
Moderate Scenario (0.5% CFR)
- 38 M needing medical care
- 1 M hospitalizations
- 200,000 needing ICU
Very Severe Scenario (2.5% CFR)
- 38 M needing medical care
- 9.6 M hospitalizations
- 2.9 M needing ICU
>As a comparison, there are about 46,500 medical ICU beds in the United States. Even spread out over several months, the mismatch between demand and resources is clear.
The US benefits in very few ways from its relationship with Israel. It's largely a one way relationship with Israel receiving money and resources and the US receiving almost nothing in return. Lobbyists and conservative (almost always protestant Christian) politicans refer to Israel as the US's most cherished and most important ally, which is absolutely ridiculous considering how little the US gets in return. Instead of benefits, the US support for Israel damages its reputation on the international stage due to the corrupt, apartheid style of government and probable human rights violations the Israeli government is guilty of committing. It is simply a parasitic relationship maintained because powerful politicians think Israel is a vital component for the imminent "end of days".

Reading about North Korea's famous songbun policy of the military's power over civilian government made me wonder if there were any parallels with allied governments at the eve of the Cold War.
To what extent is it possible to conduct research outside of the scope of the eyes and/or visual system?
