#1 From worldometers site
Netherlands Coronavirus Cases: 20,549. Deaths: 2,248. Recovered: 250

Germany Coronavirus Cases: 113,296. Deaths: 2,349. Recovered: 46,300

Sweden Coronavirus Cases: 8,419. Deaths: 687. Recovered: 205.


One of the three is not like the other two.

#3 The blood hemoglobin infection idea has been bothering me. Before 911 the military was working on artificial blood for the battlefield that was similar to Freon but carried oxygen and was not living at all. This would have nothing for a virus to infect. I wonder if anyone has thought of trying the artificial blood.

#4 NY total not high enough, doesn't count folks who died at home. Minnesota directed how to count coronavirus deaths: If they died of coronavirus-like symptoms (like pneumonia or ARDS, etc.) and may have been exposed, then it's a coronavirus death. We don't need no stinking tests!

#5 I wasn't clear enough. The comment was meant for the end stage problem on ventilators where 4 out of 5 on the ventilators die. One theory goes as follows:
It seems corona attaches to the hemoglobin and prevents the release of oxygen to the cells so the bodies organs slowly die of asphyxiation. If you didn't use blood for these patients but used artificial blood that is like freon there is nothing a virus could do to stop the oxygen to the organs.

So in that case artificial blood that can't be infected could be a win win.
