CobraGT 07/02/20 5:11:19 PM #123:	https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2020/health/coronavirus-questions-answers/ Why are Covid-19 cases rising so rapidly, but the rate of deaths is decreasing? In early July, the US reported its highest number of Covid-19 cases in a single day, shattering the previous daily record set just a week earlier. Doctors say the rate of infection is outpacing the increase in testing, and the current surge coincides with what happened several weeks earlier when states started reopening and many people started abandoning safety measures such as wearing masks or social distancing. Yet the daily numbers of Covid-19 deaths have generally decreased, and experts said they expect the daily number of deaths to drop before rising sharply again. There are a few reasons for the general decrease in new deaths (for now) as Covid-19 cases surge: First, deaths from coronavirus often happen several weeks after infection. It can take up to 14 days for symptoms to even appear. After that, people might not get tested immediately. It takes about a week after someone becomes infected until they get sick enough to be hospitalized, and then often about a week after that until you start seeing deaths, said Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a professor at George Washington University School of Medicine. Weve sort of plateaued with the death rate sort of fluctuating between 600 and 800 deaths per day, Reiner said. Obviously, everyone is concerned about the death rate starting to take off again. Second, many of those newly infected are young people who are less likely to die from the virus. But they can still easily infect others by just talking or breathing. With this virus, one person on the average infects three people, and were already at 40,000 new cases reported daily, internal medicine specialist Dr. Jorge Rodriguez said on June 30. So even if you get Covid-19 and dont very sick, you can still easily infect multiple people, who could go on to infect others. And if hospitals get overwhelmed, they may have to go into crisis standards of care, said Will Humble, executive director of the Arizona Public Health Association. That basically means lower care for everybody, not just people with Covid-19. --- GoldenSun/Crossbone Isle diagrams/ 18 teams known http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/SwordOfWheat/Weyard/PicsNao/ <cite>CobraGT posted [p:941584820] in Coronaviru...
