    no worries, I don’t take your posts that way at all. I actually appreciate discussions where people challenge each other with well thought out arguments. Your arguments are well thought out with good intentions the point I’m trying to make is that the assumption that this is no different than...

    I read that, and understood it was an assumption (they clearly state that), but the only way for that assumption to be changed is for it to be wrong. In other words we will only know it is wrong in hindsight. The truth is only known as a historical context. By their very nature all...

    I hope your right, but I genuinely believe you are extremely wrong. Please don’t take that personal, I have the utmost respect for you. using H1N1 as a reference, about 1% of people required hospitalization. With CV it has been 20% based on all data we have, that would be 20 million...

    I’ve been reading this the last hour. It’s a leaked copy of the US Covid19 response plan. Probably the most direct honest source of what’s going on. https://int.nyt.com/data/documenthelper/6819-C0VlD-19-response-plan/d367f758bec47cad361f/optimized/full.pdf#page=1 one thing I found shocking...

    I’m not a pulmonologist, so I would trust them when it comes to asthma treatment. My familiarity is more with oral steroids used in transplant and Chrons patients. Oral steroids are systemic, affecting the whole body, inhaled steroids may have a different dynamic as they are more localized to...

    That didn’t take long. We were discussing earlier in this thread governments using cellphone data to track and identify coronavirus contacts, which doesn’t bode well for the future of privacy. https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/17/21183716/coronavirus-C0VlD-19-israel-natanyahu-cellphone-data-tracking

    Things like steroids would be expected to make the infection worse. By steroids I’m assuming you are talking about corticosteroids type steroids such as cortisone, prednisone, prednisolone, etc (not sex steroids like testosterone). Steroids do many things, but they suppress the immune system...

    Just got off the phone with someone in Telluride. Apparently they have had a bunch of children under 4 show up to the ER with breathing problems that tested positive. They are now testing the entire town is what I was told. here is an article I googled about it, maybe there is a better more...

    No, no available test yet. The test we have right now is a PCR test that looks for actual virus material. Once your body clears that through your immune system the test would show negative. In fact that’s how we know that someone has cleared the infection when their test turns negative. As far...

    I am 100% certain they are correct. Even though the proportions are smaller, we have known for quite some time that people of all ages end up in the ICU. Expect death rates in the <40 to rise significantly when ICU resources fail. I know this because I have seen healthy teens get critically...

    I have been thinking a lot about handing the surge capacity. Needs are air containment, climate control, protection from the elements, and electricity. We saw Wuhan make huge hospitals in 10 days. We can do the same. what about using shipping containers, we can space these out, setup...

    I don’t know if people caught it at the end of trumps conference, but they made reference to New York already running out of ventilators. They also said that there were several previously healthy teen and early 20’s in ICU’s on ventilators. here is an interesting read from evergreen hospital...

    they look legit. The top one is more comfortable to wear because of the outlet valve they don’t get so humid inside. the bottom style is required during surgery or any sterile procedure. But I’m assuming your taking about for consumer use.

    BTW there was a 5.7 earthquake in Utah a bit ago, if anyone has family there. Epicenter 10 miles from SLC. Hopefully that was the big one and not a precursor quake. 5.7 will rattle people but shouldn’t cause much structural damage. Have had several aftershocks in the mid 3’s.
