Fatality rate
10-20 times higher than the flu,
massive increase in excess mortality, much
higher risk of complications than the flu, higher rate and duration of
ventilation.
NSW is already
cancelling elective surgery as ICUs are filling up. That’s with 2500 active cases. NSW has a population similar to Sweden, favourite of the “let it rip” brigade, and they were at 200k active cases at their peak. NSW has 60 already in the ICU with a total of 900 ICU beds, which are generally close to full with the expected users during normal times.
What do you think the capacity is going to be like if active cases get beyond 2500?
