Coronavirus in China is often a death sentence. Why?

Because if you already have it you can't go to the hospital. They tend to be treating only new cases of it so if you are already really sick they won't let you in the hospital and you can die of it from non-treatment. My daughter was reading about an account of a girl in her teens or twenties with everyone in her family sick with it. Every day they go to the hospital to be treated but every day they are refused because once you are very sick with it they won't let you into the hospital at all.

So, because of this getting Coronavirus is often a death sentence because if you get too sick you won't be allowed in hospitals at all most places in China. So, if a whole family is sick and they have no one to care for them they all might die.
