re: #70 Hecuba’s daughter

I do not know how many get ‘severe’ Wuhan corona virus, but if you do you will be a huge burden on medical equipment and personnel. A hospital could handle a handful of cases.

The city of Wuhan is in a terrible situation. I am sure there are victims who cannot get the best treatment needed and I have not heard that they are being parcelled out to other hospitals outside Wuhan.

Here is one case in Suzhou and what she went through:

This case is about an Indian ex-pat in China who teaches at an international school. She was admitted to hospital Jan 11 and the update is Jan 28:

Preeti is currently undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit at Shekou Hospital in Shenzhen.

suffering from coronavirus Pneumonia, Type 1 respiratory failure, Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) and septic shock.

per doctors, Preeti’s lungs have started showing signs of recovery, though she still continues to be on life support and critical care treatments. However, she is off ECMO machine (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) and she is conscious.

The doctors have started wheelchair therapy on Monday for 60 minutes in the morning and evening. Doctors are hopeful that based on the early signs of recovery in the lungs they may be able to remove the ventilator in a week
