Your breath smells like Panda Pollen.

I don't think so. If he was an anesthesiologist, he would be pooping his PPEs now at the potential avalanche of ARDS patients.

Every MD I know at the moment is subdued and worried.

Medical license and three certifications is meaningless dribble.

Heck. My wife is board certified, a NIH fellow, acknowledged as literally top in her field internationally and domestically, well published, a board member on numerous committees, director of a health system center, top and best doctor for over 25 years and more.

You wouldn't know it if you met her. If you asked her what she does, she would simply tell you a doctor. Nothing more.

Our research team is both international and domestic from multiple top universities. You would have to ask them where they work and what they do.

That is why I call BS. I think our poster is just a medical technician without a gossamer of knowledge beyond that.

Thank you for your reply. Once again, I agree with your analysis. And I pray you are correct.

The California Governor said all bars wineries and brew pubs should close, and I’ve gotten at least two or three posts on Facebook of local pubs that proudly say that they are staying opened.

[calenel]

Calling me an idiot won’t make you not one.

Explain how more or fewer tests affects the case fatality rate.

[LilFarmer]

I tried to keep the thread on topic, but I’m out. Y’all stay safe.

[RummyChick]

No, they are not suppose to do that as LICENSED professionals.

[gas_dr]

So you are a member of the echo chamber of pearl clutchers? Good luck with that.

[gas_dr]

I am not making definitive diagnosis, I am providing the data as you have given it. Is that the best you have? Really. It is amazing how your arguments wilt in the light of logic and stats.

The problem is severe illness requiring hospitalization or the use of the ICU, in previously healthy people.

Like the 38-year-old half marathon runner in Italy, or the Ivy League (Penn) pediatric cardiologist.

Sod off, vermin.

[RummyChick]

What does “panda pollen” mean.

I can’t even being to figure that out.
I was thinking CHinese propaganda but dont know

Well, God Bless your wife. She probably went through a lot of heart ache , stress, and money to get the Drs degree.

Those on the front line have got to be taken care of or we are screwed.

Figure out why you’re treated as a fool.

[DEPcom]

The cat is out of the bag in the UK.

I told you that two NBA players had tested positive for the virus.

You mocked it and said they had a cold,,and then proceeded to brag about your certifications and your knowledge to give you more gravitas.

ALthough FR sometimes is hard to find posts in the database...they can be found

[Thud]

That's a proper objective. Another is delay until an effective treatment is found. The remdesivir trials should be over in a month. If those are successful, it depends on how quickly its production can be increased.

"What makes me mad is that I’m not in denial, I’m vigilant about being prepared and staying safe, but I’m almost certainly going to get just as sick as the Flubros.

Hopefully I can push it out to the end of the parabolic slope, though, where I have a good shot at a ventilator if I need one."

[Jane Long]

[RummyChick]
