      Anna K fellow Minnesotan here!
      Thanks.
      Being recently unemployed, I’m already on an unscheduled vacation, and being an introvert living in rural MN means there’s not a whole lot of places I’d rather be than home anyway. 🤷🏼
      Meanwhile, one son in law works in healthcare. Often with newly immune suppressed patients on a cardiac ICU. Another son in law has T1D, his job has not yet been shut down (though breaks have been changed to only allow ten people at a time on break)
      Of my 5 grandchildren, the oldest at 6 1/2 has asthma as does another one, with the youngest (14 months) one likely on that track as well.
      One of my daughters has mild asthma as well, and is pregnant.
      My father is nearly 80, with some underlying health issues, but as a retired mathematician he has posted the odds on several other things more likely to take his life, though he’s not likely to be one of those out bucking the system.
      But it’s probably a good thing that he and mom have plenty of room in their house and more than one tv 😉 (and computer ... and iPad 😏🤷🏼)

Since its becoming spring and theres a bunch of pollen ive been coughing and sneezing but when im out in public i hold it in so much cause I dont need people thinking I have corona. Then let it out where theres no one around. I always avoid crowds and by crowds i mean more than 5 people but these days theres always that one person staring people down waiting to see if they do as little as clear their throat.

    I used to scribe in the ED and I quit scribing. I believe in general that it is dumb and I am irritated at the negligence that Scribeamerica provides during this healthcare crisis because not only are scribes primarily college age students who can spread contact with ACTUAL PATIENTS to their communities, but they are NON essential and I have never met a doctor that cant work without a scribe. The purpose of scribing is to increase revenue for the hospital and as a byproduct help doctors and providers chart efficiently but during times like this I think its up to companies like SA to understand they are mismanaging and contributing to a healthcare crisis. Thoughts @zdoggmd?

My dad has Alzheimer's, and is being held hostage in a skilled nursing facility with no way to contact family members. Their only testing protocol for their employees is to take their temperature on their way in every day. This is a bunch of fearmongering, courtesy of big brother. What's REALLY going on that they don't want us to know about right now? 🤔

    • @ILruffian
      @ILruffian 4 года назад +1

      Good point. But regrettably, there's no alternative to allowing people out to pick up food, etc. Goal of the shutdowns is not to prevent cases, but to spread them over a longer period of time to allow the hospitals to keep up. Hopefully, people will have bought what they need (e.g. non-perishable food items instead of stupid shit like toilet paper) and be able to stay in more when shit really pops off during the last week of March.

For someone who is severely ill, they may be contagious for a longer period of time.

    Training bloodhounds to detect coronavirus infected people. And during this State of Emergency have them in every community around the world sniffing out the infected people with the coronavirus. Put them in every entrance to they small, large, or mass gathering as well. And also put them in the waiting areas of hospitals. Put them at the front of age care facilities as well.

    Ok people. This test cannot be done on the whole world. To do any lab test need a positive & negative control. The positive is difficult to get. They've made kits, but missing chemical component. So like he said stay the f... home. This pcr test has to be done by QUALIFIED lab personnel. So there a lab tech shortage anyways already working overtime before all this. So idk who they think going to be able to do all this testing& how able to get that positive control. FDA has let this test bypass all kind of regulations. I mean it took years to get a rapid test for HIV. I don't think this test can be that accurate. I had to pull a test been using 3 years because company sold reagent bypassed a FDA regulation. FDA caught it 3 years later.

      Especially now that widespread testing is only this week going to start becoming available. There will be a lot of positives from people who wanted to get tested four days or two weeks ago (or such), who would have tested positive earlier, but in the statistics they will look like "brand new" cases.
      It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. (I already know a lot of people who have lost their jobs for indeterminate time now, and half of USAns ALREADY were only one or two lost paychecks away from financial ruin.) But, because of the delay in finding positive results for some people, there will be a huge spike in numbers this week, but some (unknown) percentage of it will be an illusion because some of these people were already sick a week or two ago.

      Pippi Shortstocking I wasn’t implying it did maybe I should of been perfectly clear. If you live in the United States flu season is coming to an end, that does not mean you can’t get the flu or it magically goes away, it circles the globe. Maybe like covid-19 will do. One can only hope, I can’t stand this world, the people and how governments literally steal out of peoples pockets but nothing can be done. I pray for a more destructive virus 🍻

    I have asthma does that increase the lethality of the virus?

    Doc, would you agree that the hysteria is mostly because there's no lab test & vaccine for covid-19?
