    I am hopeful that something like this works. There are theoretical in vitro (cell culture) reason it MIGHT. However I am skeptical of this particular report as providing credible evidence, there are a large # of things that make me say this. 1) They treated 500 people under the assumption that...

    Exactly. Even the quoted #’s about the diamond princess is wrong. People just quit watching at some point and assume the story of the diamond princess is over. It’s not. Today 10 dead (not 7), 15 still struggling for their lives many of which are likely to die. I’m quoting below another...

    The Gilead drug is remdesivir. A randomized controlled clinical trial was started in February by the NIH inNebraska. Realize that this is a new drug, they have to prove both safety and effectiveness. Either could be problems for this drug. I’ve heard rumors of possible liver issues with this...

    Unfortunately there was a study published 3/18 that casts serious doubt on the HIV drugs working. This was not double blinded but it was a case controlled study, which is infinitely better than the previous case report which are essentially the equivalent of anecdotal medical stories. The...

    This reminds me of a quote we use to hear all the time when we were in medical school and residency, “those who can do, those who can’t teach”. Ask nearly any doctor and I’m sure nearly all would have heard this. The “teacher” type doctors so often become administrators and other advisor...

    So, listening to interview from Trump just now, they are looking at travel bans from places in New York, Connecticut, etc. described as “An enforced quarantine” Call me an alarmist if you wish, but we are following almost the identical trajectory of how Italy progressed. Suggestions...

    I don’t know anything about Sweden as a country, but as @Antti points out the situation appears to be deteriorating. One problem I’ve seen with this pandemic is that things change so rapidly that you must make sure to be looking at the Very latest news and data. Stories and data from 2+ days ago...

    There are probably several reasons. First, the further you are from another person, the more diluted the innoculum (virus exposure) becomes. It spreads out in the air in 3 dimensions, so it diluted by a factor to the third power (cubed), because that’s how the volume of air expands on three...

    On the lighter side, saw this today, it’s been like this all day. Since white gold is in such high demand, I was shocked on one grabbed it and took a risk on it. I don’t think anyone knows what this means. Someone’s going to just go for it eventually I assume.

    Likely regulation. Almost everything in the hospital has an expiration date, whether the item truly expires or not, I.e. loses effectiveness or not. For decades we have shipped “expired” medical supplies to other countries (third world). Lots of supplies are not stocked too much to prevent...

    We will see this play out. Even if the trajectory is reduced, how much is it reduced? If the old models where not accurate, why should we believe the new models now. If the government really believed these new models and assumptions wouldn’t we tell ford, GM, Tesla to scrap ventilator plans...

    Again, you are speaking of things you are not educated in. One or 3 heart attacks is one comorbidity listed under Coronary Artery Disease - each heart attack is not considered an independent comorbidity. For three comorbidities you have to have say Coronary Heart Disease, Hypertension (High...

    It's not really randomized, but surveillance...or at least that's what we call it in the medical industry. Probably you mean the same thing. But apparently in Telluride, they were doing surveillance testing on the town following an outbreak that involved a bunch of children under 4...

    No, causal vs attributable are different. If someone is in a horrible car crash, has their leg amputated, gets a horrible blood infection and dies 1 day after the car crash. Would you say they died from the car crash or the infection? Technically the cause of death would be blood infection...
