    To you. I grew up on a farm, I would give up all the entrapment a of success and go back there if required, I would be more than happy to sacrifice all the material things I had if that kept my family safe. My family is infinitely more valuable to me than any amount of money. they are the...

    I’m not saying to take or not take ibuprofen, but this debate has been out there for a long time and as far as I’m aware is not settled. They have had the same theoretical concern for hearing broken bones, even though a whole lot of people take ibuprofen for broken bones and heal fine. The...

    This has been my concern for weeks, how do you come out of quarantine. The population remains vulnerable, the cycle can just repeat. my concern was outlined about 1/2 back in this thread. I’m very concerned that the economic toll and isolationism from this lasts 1year plus and puts us into...

    nothing related. The short term affects are because rapidly dividing tissues like your gut cells die quickly from radiation. Makes you nauseous and have GI symptoms. Longer term there are changes your dna and causes other slower problems.

    As someone who’s job deals with radiation daily, your correlation makes no sense. 5G is not a form of ionizing radiation. are there long term effects from non-ionizing radiation. Well, the official answer is no. But I never 100% trust official answers. but the com census at the moment is...

    Be aware that the sensitivity and specificity of these tests have likely not been proven yet. So there may be a somewhat high false positive rate. Not all negatives are truly negative. Just like all positives are not positive. So it would be expected that at least a handful of people would...

    You are part correct and part incorrect. Surgical masks are not the same as N95. You are 100% correct that the point of a surgical mask is to prevent the surgeon from infecting the patient...it's patient protection not surgeon protection. N95 masks are totally different. They do fit testing...

    The best name would be something that is not abstract "Deadly lung crowned virus", yes its not correct, but the best name is one that conveys information as well as identification. SARS-COV-2 and C0VlD-19 are horrible names because they keep it abstract, but that's why people have such a hard...

    Ok, this just occurred to me...What is one of the biggest needs right now? N95 masks and other PPE for medical personal. But are we being creative in how to solve this problem? Why do they need to be disposable in the first place, could we get 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20 uses out of a single mask...

    Not only this, but young people tend to work in less stable jobs, servers, hostess, fast food, etc, etc, etc...The longer this lasts, the longer they will be out of jobs, and the greater the financial impact to them. Even if the government gives out some for of payment to each of them for a...

    In medicine, we discuss 2 things. Mortality which is death rate, and morbidity which is long term health effect. The mortality of covid Is considerably lower in young people, but I would expect that organ injury (morbidity) would be significant and possibly in similar numbers at all ages...

    There is some indication of Chlorquine having some therapeutic benefit, it's far from concrete... HOWEVER. Malaria is not endemic to the USA, so I seriously doubt we have any significant supply of this drug on hand. China and East Asian countries do have significant malaria problems, and so...

    I have said this multiple times as well. There are early indications that some patients develop injury to kidneys, heart, liver, and of course lungs. These are all tissues with high quantities of ACE2 enzyme which is the binding point for the covid virus. Incidentally sars bound to the same...

    Governor Cuomo is New York is one of the most despicable politicians based on his past rhetoric. HOWEVER, listen to him. He has the most realistic grasp on what is going on at the moment.

    no it is not the same as an ace inhibitor. The end effect is the same in blocking the angiotensin signaling pathway, an ARB acts further down the chain though. ACE2 enzyme converts angiotensin 1 molecule to angiotensin 2 molecule. The angiotensin 2 molecule then binds to the angiotensin...

    I would make a real reply to point our the obvious problem with your analysis, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference. So I’ll save the time. Google data smoothing if you have any real intention to learn anything. Also, is the US on quarantine like all of Italy????

    Wow, interesting idea. I’ll do some more research, but it would not be surprising at all if ACE inhibitors unregulated the ACE2 receptor. Here is an interesting thought. If ACE inhibitors unregulated ACE2 receptors (unregulated means increase number per cell), then there are more targets on...

You can also get oxygen concentrators without a prescription if your an appropriately licensed facility. Probably one...
