But how many respirators do you think we have in this area? If only 2 % of the population gets seriously ill, they may need to intubate 2000 people. We do not have the resources to make that happen. For some this will be a lethal illness and health practitioners will need to make some tough decisions.
In our demographic, we each need to take responsibility for prevention. Avoid large scale events that can quickly multiply the scale of the infection.
