    I only read "best-selling" books which gives me a curated, narrow viewpoint.

    HOT! BOOKS 
    This is the key. It’s not just knowledge but implementation. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to realize that many “amazing” books are just repackaged crap. When you realize that “The Obstacle Is the Way” is nothing more and nothing less than an update of Marcus Aurelius’ Stoic masterpiece...

    Great opp? Medical: Mobile IV Service

    This exact service is part of the business model that’s launching in the next 2 to 3 weeks from my clinic

    Ehh....okay fine. Not zero when speaking theoretically. But the infectivity rate follows the normal distribution and 7 days is also where you're going to catch vast majority of people. It's also the number where they're letting health care workers with exposure and no symptoms return to work...

    Right. I've yet to see COVID pneumonia in anyone who didn't have a BMI <35 OR who didn't already have a serious underlying respiratory illness such as COPD. That said, my ER colleague who's on day 20 of the illness with sats dropping to the low 80s is a fitness freak, in his 40s and has no...

    Great question. The closest analog that we have so far is the Diamond Princess cruise ship situation, where a passenger was diagnosed with C0VlD-19 and the entire ship was quarantined. This link gives a nice overview of the following paper: Summary from the link: So that's a 59% positive...

    That's really weird. I have a patient who does that too. We've been troubleshooting and swapped out the pulse ox and that seemed to help. Good luck.

    It doesn't. But the supplemental info and reports from the researchers reportedly support the no child to adult pathway. I'm reading through that early case report from South Korea. They don't mention genetic analysis which would be the gold standard, IMHO. But yeah, what they present is...

    Great question. I did some digging and came up with a very lengthy but excellent article" The Case Is Building That C0VlD-19 Had a Lab Origin link Money quote (for me):

    Agree with all of your points. Have made these exact same points on blog and FB posts. FB posts were immediately deleted. I put it to the public like this: "If doctors and nurses wearing full on PPE (hat, face shield, goggles, surgical mask over N95, gloves, gowns and booties) are all coming...

    5-7 days. If you or anyone is asymptomatic at that point, the chance of transmission to someone else is essentially zero.

    Agreed. There's so much disinformation or willing blindness to information that contradicts what you want to believe. On all sides. If true that's horrible. Take this with a grain of salt, but here is the CDC's own tabulation of "excess deaths" in the US since Feb 1 2020. You can play around...

    It seems to prevent progression to worse illness in those most likely to have bad outcomes. Henry Ford study which I think I referenced above

    You're right. We're fighting emotions and the need to belong to the "in group" fighting against the "enemy," or the "out group" who advocate for opening schools. There's lots of fear and logic almost never prevails in those situations. Also, in my probably unpopular opinion: This is the...

    Couple of thoughts. 1. I do think that tracking deaths is probably the only valid metric at this point. 2. Agreed with the lack of experts on COVID. Because of this, I have a very hard time with claims of appeal to authority. This illness has many unique features that we haven't seen on a...

    Couple of thoughts: The size of the COVID virus is 12 microns (millionth's of a meter). From the above article: So basically, in theory they work. In practice? Not so much.

    One thing re: immunity. Very few viruses convey lifelong immunity. Think about it, not even chickenpox gives lifelong immunity anymore. I'm not very bullish on a vaccine, plus I refuse to be a guinea pig.

    Yes. Remember, the lockdowns were only ever to mitigate the risk of overwhelming hospital capacity. Remember those days? LOL
