An emergency room doctor at EvergreenHealth in Kirkland is in critical condition with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.

The hospital at the center of the coronavirus outbreak in King County confirmed that the doctor was ill Sunday afternoon.

“EvergreenHealth is providing care for one of our physicians who has a confirmed case of COVID-19. He is in critical condition but stable. Out of respect for our patient’s privacy and that of his family, there is nothing more we can share at this time,” says a brief statement issued by the hospital on Sunday.

This is why people are being asked to social distance. Health care workers are front line We don’t want to over load the system

I think this is what shutting down Vegas is about.

You can see a lot of people are FR would walk around willy nilly not worried spreading it all over the place...and you can quickly become overwhelmed like Italy.

People aren’t taking it seriously. YOu see it in post after post.

Shutting down forces the situation.

Do strong breathings exercises starting today. And keep them up every hour if you get any symptoms of Covid. The illness won’t kill you if you don’t get that pneumonia, and breathing exercises can prevent pneumonia.

But cytokine storm is healthy people getting overwhelmed by their strong system...as an example

not saying weak people cant have it...

just that it is strong people who get taken out..like teenagers and young people

I understand Just reporting what papers (Medical) are hypothesizing. Not saying it’s true. Essentially they say that instead of shutting off as the patient gets better it ramps up into overdrive.

It will be the subject of many papers to come I am sure

Evergreen is the hospital in Kirkland, WA that is associated with the ground zero nursing home that had the majority of fatalities. Not really surprising other than that it took this long.

Some people spread it like crazy and are super spreaders...others dont

Cpac person doesnt seem to have done much spreading

"The illness won’t kill you if you don’t get that pneumonia, and breathing exercises can prevent pneumonia."

Plus I found 10+ years ago when I got pneumonia from the Flu that an Albuterol Sulphate HFA inhalator was key to timely recovery for me.

I insisted that I get another one of those in Jan 2020 when I had some kind of non-flu flu. Definitely helped recovery w/o any pneumonia.

This Doctor...may have some chronic illness...That we will never know of...unless he dies. But probably not even then...will we know.

He may..just be unlucky.

Does seem odd to me..that he is rather young..and supposedly in bad shape.

I've worked with Doc's that had and have unhealthy lifestyles.....

Hope this Doc gets better...
