Pretty much Pat, but it's really not just them... they're the most at risk of dying from it but we can all get it and spread it... this SARS strain is far more aggressive than the one in 2003

Decades ago 18 and 19 year old boys we're called in to fly across the world and go to war, we're asked to stay home for 2-3 weeks, eat KD and canned foods and binge watch Netflix...

The full SARS name is actually SARS-cov

The "cov" is short for Covid... 19 is the strain number

And in the most vulnerable people they will start to dessaturate and will need to be put on a respirator, but if everybody gets it at the same time there won't be enough respirators and they will have to chose who dies.

That's why it's important to flatten the curve because if it's spread out even if the total of people who get infected is the same the survival rate will be much higher because the health care system will have the ressources to treat more cases properly

I've heard vaccine trials are to start soon, but it could take quite a while before it's tested and distributed... I guess there's no "treatment" per se available

I'm not sure about that, I know they are starting to test in Wuhan a molecule that is supposed to speed up recovery that was invented by a Quebec doctor

They made a pact at the hospital that if one of them gets it and they are out of respirators the others would bag ventilate her day and night
