If I catch the coronavirus I do not plan on seeking medical attention. How painful would it be to die from coronavirus? It appears to kill by pneumonia, kidney failure and/or acute respiratory failure. Would it feel like I'm slowly suffocating? Would I be better off taking SN to hasten my death? I'm afraid if coronavirus is a slow painful death my survival instinct might kick in and I'll reach out for help. If I decided to take SN would having the coronavirus increase the chance I might vomit and the SN not being effective?

" About 80 percent of people who are infected with the coronavirus will have only mild symptoms and will not need to see a doctor, Dr. Saade says.
As long as symptoms don't get severe, the best place for someone who thinks they have coronavirus is home, Dr. Saade says. At home, try to stay in a specific room and away from other people. Use a separate bathroom, if possible. "
Do not expect to die from covid or have any severe symptoms.
Vomiting and nausea are the symptoms in only 5% of cases so no, you are unlikely to vomit.

if you actually get symptoms, which many people don't, some describe it as a flu on steroids, so very painful.
but if you are under 60 and have no chronic conditions associated with the respiratory system or diabetes then you will be fine after a few weeks, i think mortality rate is below 1% for people under 40 and goes down with age.

Hmmm...this 'Coronabus' sounds bad, but at least it can't be as painful as listening to this...

79904 min recovered,
Nah that virus ain't gonna kill you!

Well, it seems about 10% of cases are fatal.
But I believe that for most of those 10%, the people have certain characteristics, eg age / weakened systems etc.
So if you don't have those characteristics, then the percentage chance of it being fatal probably becomes a lot less...

as someone who's dying because of the infection I can tell you that this is absolutely horrifying way to go. I live in constant pain and agony day after day. It is extremely painful. So just don't.
The chance of dying for the people below 40 years is around less than 0.2%. you are more likely to get a cancer than dying of corona

I do not know about your circumstances, age, residence...... but if you are a young guy, do not worry about; if coronabus does not kill you, labour conditions will and social conditions will too.
Anyway, the global crisis will.
That will not happen soon, Always is a good attitude has a little patience.
I'm 54 and I have high blood pressure and pre-diabetes so I have some risk factors. Here is an article on the hospitalization and death rates. For 45-54 year olds there is a 20-28% chance of developing severe symptoms requiring hospitalization, a 5-10% chance the symptoms are critical requiring icu admission and a Death rate of .5 to .8%.
www.bloomberg.com
I'm assuming if symptoms became severe enough to require hospitalization and an individual chose not to seek medical attention the odds of death would increase. Most people die from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Dying from ARDS sounds like your slowly suffocating/drowning and quite painful.

I guess if one develops ARDS and is having trouble breathing and supplying oxygen to the body that should make the SN more effective?
Yes, Young People Are Falling Seriously Ill From Covid-19
The risk is particularly dire for those with ailments that haven’t yet been diagnosed

I do not know where you are living, but your likelihood is high.
This Italian report is very accurate to ages.
Edit: Sorry, keep at your home.
I'm in the USA near Washington DC. People aren't taking this seriously and we aren't testing enough people. I think it's just a matter of time before I catch it as I plan on taking a job that will expose me to a lot of people.
If you got the virus and started smoking wouldnt that be enough to kill you? Im asking because I plan on doing that but the the thing is I never smoked in my life so how many packs would I have to actually smoke to die in combination with getting the virus?
No I don't think if you just started smoking it would have much of an effect. I think it would mainly effect long term smokers who have damaged their lungs and weakened their immune system through years of smoking. I smoked a pack a day for 10 years but quit 26 years ago so I don't think it raises my risk factor of developing severe symptoms that much.
I've read that Europe and USA have a large percentage of people under 60 requiring hospitalization. While it's true that the older and weaker are more likely to die, it can still cause serious lung/organ damage to younger/ healthier people. I'm worried about developing severe symptoms that might put me in the hospital and then surviving. I have inadequate health insurance coverage and would end up paying a large medical bill that could bankrupt me if I ended up in the hospital. If I do get sick and develop severe symptoms I hope I can withstand the pain and my SI doesn't kick in as I don't want to go to the hospital. I have Sn and meto and will take that if symptoms become unbearable. Hopefully the Sn will act quickly and I'll lose consciousness and won't suffer much. I can't afford to not succeed in my suicide attempt. My insurance policy will not pay for any medical expenses related to a suicide attempt.
Thanks. Sending you a hug and wishing you the best. It appears coronavirus is not a peaceful way to die.
There are some dire statistics of how overwhelmed the health care system would become if this pandemic isn't contained.
Are LA Hospitals Ready for Coronavirus? Here Are Nine Different Scenarios.
In Los Angeles region, intensive care units would be especially overwhelmed and require additional capacity.

I read Italy has already reached that point as they have had to turn away people from hospital because they didn't have room.

You'd have to smoke enough cigarettes to develop COPD, pneumonia on top of coughing out straight black tar or some other breathing problem. That's a 30+ year journey.

Yes you are right.
In Europe, specifically Italy and Spain, we almost have reached, well in Italy already are in. Spain, one or two days more....
In Germany, the rate between hospital beds and population is higher, 8 each 1000 population.
Here we are doing like in china. saturation turned Hotels into Hospitals.
That's what I'm afraid of. I tell myself I'll just tough it out and not seek medical help but if it's that painful I'm not sure I could hold out. I guess taking SN would be a quicker and less painful death.
People, get off the coronabus, it's not going to kill you, but it will kill your parents and grandparents if they have existing conditions. Stick to what works.

Actually, it will kill me. It has now been going to kill children. We were wrong about that one. Truth is, it's a new virus. Nobody knows. We are guessing.
It's like HIV. Remember how it was before we understood it?
Yes, there is still allot we don't know. I've heard that it's actually mutating and there is now a second, more aggressive strain.
It's possible that the weaker strain affects mostly seniors and the stronger strain affects those who are younger and healthy.
My point is however, people should not be deliberately trying to get the virus to ctb, they would be putting other people's lives at risk. Especially front line doctors, nurses, staff and straining the system.
If you want to ctb, there are quicker methods that won't put others at risk.
