Doctor Zolanco Explaining Coronavirus & Why All Government Actions Are Necessary

hello my name is dr. Zeb's Alenko I'm a board-certified family practitioner in Muncie and in Monroe and I'm making this video as a public service announcement about the current situation with the corona virus first of all let me begin with giving everyone a Braja that it's a sham everyone in college all should be healthy and no one should suffer from this or any other illness with that said ain't something Ellen ace we're not going to rely on any miracles I'd like to inform the public about the reality of the situation no one alive today has ever dealt with what we are about to deal with the last time the world experienced something like this was a 1918 was something called the Spanish flu this Spanish flu killed 20% of the world population meaning one out of five people died in the world so we are now dealing with the virus that has different characteristics and different dangers which I'd like to explain so this virus does not affect people equally it seems to be a sham not kill children best of my knowledge have been no children under the age of nine in the world that have died from this virus so in that context the flu is more dangerous the regular flu the influenza virus is more dangerous to children than the corona virus the problem of the corona virus is that its main target are adults of around 60 and above or people with chronic medical problems such as lung disease heart disease immunosuppressed diabetes in that population it seems to kill around 10% of the people that get it that's one out of 10 people so here are the latest information that we have about this virus it seems to be two or three times more contagious than the influenza virus so that's important because last year in America we had the 40 million people infected with the influenza virus 40 million out of those 40 million around 50 thousand died turns out to be a rather small percentage however if we do some basic math you'll see what this means in this context if 40 million people had the flu and we assume that this virus is just as contagious as the flu even though it's even more contagious but for the sake of of analysis if we say 40 million people get the corona virus which is very possible how did those 40 million and I'm not sure exactly but I would say for the to illustrate this point that let's say 25 percent of those 40 million people are 60 years old and above that means out of those 40 million people that are going to get infected there are 10 million adults 60 and above if it kills one that of 10 that means we're going to have a million people dead in America from the corona virus and a few months that's a a million people now one of the main reasons so many people are going to die is because we do not have the resources to take care of so many people in the United States I believe there is 60,000 or so ICU beds I also believe that the government also has around 40,000 reserve the respirators so in this country this seems to be around a hundred thousand respirators half of which are anyway being used on a regular basis so our capability to care for people in respiratory distress from this virus which is the main problem with it is extremely limited in Italy people are dying now because there's not enough respirators and decisions are being made between the say a 50 year old and an 80 year old the respirator is given to the 50 year old because they have more life to live and the 80 year old does we'd like to avoid these types of situations in America now there's no way of stopping just lawyers that's gonna go through the country we are hoping that by taking certain precautions we can slow down the spread that not everyone gets sick at once so that we could spread out the pain so to speak and be able to care for more people then then if everyone got sick at the same time three things are going to help us regarding this virus but one we hope that as the weather gets warmer that the virus will become less effective that's because of the warm temperature the humidity the increased and UV light ultraviolet light seems to we hope weaken the virus it's number one number two there is promise or hope that there'll be a antiviral medication against this virus in the next few months and also we hope to have a vaccine available against this virus in the next six months that means for next year they'll a lot of people are going to have immunity to this virus because they had it before and survived or they got the vaccine and even those that do get sick we should we should have the medication to treat it so overall we should be able to manage it the problem is now no one is immune to this virus we have no medication we have no vaccine and well and we have extremely limited resources to take care of critically ill patients that is why the government is giving instructions to shut everything down I'm going to give you my personal opinion with with the understanding that it's not practical but my ideally everyone should stay home should not interact with other people which means not go to simplest not go to school stay away from large crowds of people not go to shul not use the mikveh I know the sounds bizarre and alarmist but keep in mind you and me have never seen what's coming and it is coming me personally I do not send my children to school i quarantined everyone including myself preemptively and I'm seeing patients remotely I'm not coming into contact with with with patients directly because I have lung issues and it's my strong hope that this video will give you a sense of perspective of what's going on I hope that the community leaders will listen and and even act let's name a serious it in and close the schools I understand what that means to the parents but it's better than having thousands of dead Jews that could have been prevented again I give everyone a bra that there's no virus or no infection or no muffler should ever touch any iddin and we should all be healthy and beside her to the coming of Messiah all the best
