Young people die - WHO Rated XXX (only mature audiences allowed to look)

Remove Turkey from the 2006 CFR calculations (12 cases 4 deaths) and you get a CFR of 33/49 = 67% or 2/3 rds of all people who get it die.
Remove those cases for anyone over 40 years old, and it's worse. If you are younger than 39 and get it you probably have a 75% chance of dying.
Isn't it actually much, much worse?
These CFR numbers include treatment in hospitals and treatment with Tamiflu and the availability of ventilators. Is that correct?
If yes, then what is the true CFR when unaided by anything other than home care?
Anyone here want to speculate on that?
Re: Young people die - WHO Rated XXX (only mature audiences allowed to look)
i'll take a stab at that one Gaudia. If you don't hie thyself to a hospital within the first 24 hours you can kiss your ass goodbye. The only people who survive are those who have an inkling they have the disease or, they have a familiy member whowas diagnosed first (and died) so they were treated prophalactically. The CFR will approach 100% if the beast doesn't mutate to a milder strain when it goes h2h.
Please do not ask me for medical advice, I am not a medical doctor.

Judging by what the new reserch is saying about transmission being higher among blood relatives, it may be best NOT to be treated by a family member.
Sadly, this disease may have a CFR that will be beyond people's imagination....god, I hope not.
Do you get the feeling mother nature has decided the human race doesn't belong here anymore?
Thank God we've learned a few things to increase our chances of survival & personnally I can be happy in a simpler world, but the thought of loosing my children is what I can bear - they're both in their 20s.
Thankfully we have something like this forum to get the word out to people about what they can do - prep and natural substances. There will be more survivors because of our efforts. I hope it will bring us some comfort in the future.

It's hard to imagine something much much worse than 75%.
Maybe marginally worse because anything past 75% is probably equally bad, unless CFR hits 100%, then we don't care do we?
Actually, one of my first threads I started at CE was a tipping point discussion.
For example
what CFR % causes a tipping point of society collapse?
what CFR % causes a worst case scenario of more deaths from collapsing society collateral damage than from dying from bird flu?
what CFR % causes the damage from society collapse from to begin decreasing again?
Re: Young people die - WHO Rated XXX (only mature audiences allowed to look)
eladdie a slight miscommunication here. I meant that once a relative was diagnosed and subsequently died, the docs treated you just before or right after your symptoms reared their ugly heads.

Re: Young people die - WHO Rated XXX (only mature audiences allowed to look)
This entire CFR discussion is surreal.
There will be survivors--
The virus does not impact significantly on older people.
The passage of time will result in herd immunity:
vaccination,
natural immunity,
acquired immunity through illness
Would you speculate on who will (probably...higher probability than most) survive, what age category they'll be in, what percentage of the population they represent?
IMO, this will be quite fascinating info, and quite possibly motivational.

You and I, Ray - and GWB. We'll have a party. WE can all bring George a momento of our appreciation for his years of leadership.
(folks - the 3 of us are just months apart)
I think us old folks will be caring for the very young - and running everything. Kids will be employed at MUCH younger ages. There will be NO retirement....they will need our labor.
Baby boomers will be ruling the world (without a demonstration).
Young women will not be enouraged to practice birth control (unless we learn something from experience).
Labor saving devices will be the norm - not out of laziness, but because really old folks will be doing hard labor & it will be imiportant that they not be injured.
Hopefully - some wise old people will write a book.
Nobody will every hide sequences again.

In spite of my potential good fortune, being "gramps", a most insulting term used by my ex gal pal who's totally indifferent, and who has two kids both in their early 20's (you know what I think about that attitude and behavior, yet I know it to be common), I believe we have an opportunity to serve ourselves by thinking about post-pandemia, about what the world will look like, and who's in it.

It really boils down to that CFR again - that will define it. And possible major social/political changes. We'd need several scenerios.
Maybe it could be expressed as a "back in time" factor, i.e., how far back in our economic, social, or political evolution would the post-pandemic be similar to?
CFR<5% = 50 years, CFR<10% = 75 years, CFR<25% + 100 years, CFR - 50% = 150 years, etc., etc.
Just as a "tool for thought."
What might other illustrative tools, accomodating wide variation, can we utilize?

Re: Young people die - WHO Rated XXX (only mature audiences allowed to look)
Your concept is pregnant...
It will drive us back to a time before the steam engine.
We will be driven back to the time power came from a water wheel by the side of a creek.
Vast areas of irrigated farmland will be lost. Only if the population shrinks dramatically will we be able to avoid starvation due to lack of food production in the fields themselves.
Almost all fruits will disappear as they almost all depend on electricity driven pumps.
Electricity will be a thing of the past!!

But that means our answers are in the history books.
There are many societies today who do Ag without electric.
The Amish will be teaching us how to live.
We've lost touch with our roots. Ever since Abraham left Ur, people have been growing by stretching their imagination, having courage to change, & control their destiny. It's part of what has made many great civilzations - without it they fail.
