"The death rate varies with ICU availability. If the deaths happened in one go then the death rate wouldn't be 3%, it would be a lot higher. If the deaths happen over time then it would actually be more like a 0.6% death rate." Given that the figures are showing that up to 90% of those that need a ventilator don't survive, I would suggest that icu is not having much of an effect on the death rate. | |||

Others on here have stated 50%. As far as I'm aware they are not releasing such stats so can only assume neither figure is correct and are made up on the spot. Also only a percentage of those in ICU require ventilation. | |||

"The death rate varies with ICU availability. If the deaths happened in one go then the death rate wouldn't be 3%, it would be a lot higher. If the deaths happen over time then it would actually be more like a 0.6% death rate. So the approach of keeping the peak(s) below NHS capacity is the correct one?" Of course, there are just many options to achieve that and we are only using 1 which is what frustrates me | |||

"Suppose that a world is destined to lose 3% of it's population to a life threatening virus. Suppose there is no cure, no antidote, no vaccine. Suppose that 97% of that world's population will survive physically. Is it better for the population as a whole to be 'harvested' swiftly or taken in smaller batches over several diminishing waves. What are the differences in end results in numbers and human tragedy ? Is it a tragedy or all part of life's tapestry ? " Not sure if you're referring to covid specifically or a hypothetical situation, but 3% of the world's population is approx 210 million people! | |||

Receiving oxygen via various non invasive methods in ICU is very different to being placed on a ventilator that breathes for you.If you get to that stage you are very Ill and even some in the nhs think it actually makes you less likely to survive this virus. | |||

You can receive oxygen without going into icu, it is what the Nightingale hospitals are for. But they are all empty because we have so few cases. | |||

There are differing estimates so I rounded the middling figure of 2.7% to 3. But ...... YES it was intended to be hypothetical and be about choice. It's become mostly Covid and understandably so. | |||

It's not just from the virus, anything that requires you are put on mechanical ventilation more times than not means a poor outcome. There was a 3 part series on the beeb at the Gwent ICU (still on iPlayer) if anyone wants to see what happens on an ICU. | |||

"Also why we are spreading it out 500 people are missing their appointments every day, so cancer /heart; kidney disease are not being pick up. They are now saying half a million could die in the next 5 years because it's to late to save them. But we are keeping the headline numbers down, it's a joke. " my mother has had all her appointments for cancer this virus won’t kill as many people as cancer does and that’s excluding heart trouble ,strokes and god knows what else | |||

Thanks, any idea what proportion of ICU admissions need a ventilator? I genuinely don't know and couldn't find a Google answer. | |||

"I think it's probably better to have a lower level of deaths over a longer period of time. This means that the people likely get the care and treatment, as well as closure with their families, that are closer to what feels like a normal experience. It's likely less brutal and shocking too. " This for me too. You say it better than I could have. | |||

There's a big difference. | |||

" I think the reason it is hard to find these stats is because they would terrify people ... i genuinely thought a good chunk of people being hospitalised were getting better and then going home til i had a look about online when boris got admitted and it the recovered numbers are tiny in comparison to hospitalisation and death (at that point only hospitalised people were being tested) i know it is not representative of people getting sick and recovering at home but really it looked alot like if you were sick enough to end up in hospital at all , the probability was you were dying | |||
