The state of New York has approved the use of one ventilator for multiple patients during a surge or crisis. Dr. Seheult discusses some of the implications and challenges of this practice. Dr. Seheult also builds upon the research he explained in Update 16 (https://youtu.be/qqZYEgREuZ8) and Update 17 (https://youtu.be/wlbM6VVkVZM) about important connections between sleep and immunity.

Coronavirus Pandemic Update 44: Loss of Smell & Conjunctivitis in COVID-19, Is Fever Helpful?
There is new evidence that loss of smell (anosmia) may be an indicator of COVD-19 infection. New reports also suggest that COVID-19 may cause conjunctivitis (pink eye), and be potentially spread through contact with the conjunctiva. Dr. Seheult discusses evidence about how untreated fever may be beneficial for fighting viral illnesses such as coronavirus.

NYC
Lack of information in the projects is putting citizens at risk. We were just saying the other day, let’s mobilize the youth and give them some self value. Distribute hand sanitizer. Clean the elevators, make little toothpick thingies to use on the buttons. Let’s go, NYers!! Solve the problem, Save some lives. (everywhere !)

New York City Public Housing sits like a ticking time bomb as the spread of Coronavirus continues. As COVID-19 cases in the city increase exponentially, New York’s poorest residents are left with little information or support from NYCHA.

Nice find. Pink eye. Yes. That’s the weird redness I saw develop in the eyes of someone sick with something. That was about a month ago. Now we have covid in town. Although that was inevitable. My guess is people who are infected through the eye, will develop the pink eye long before other symptoms. Those infected through nasal cavity may develop it later in the disease progression.
