I jumped into the middle of this conversation and apparently missed some of the jargon when it was introduced. What are blue people?
Blue people are folks who get out of the ambulance at the ER and they are blue. Fireman says its rare. The seriously ill are blue people. There are diseases that produce blue people, as I mentioned, malaria is one. Dengue fever, I believe is another. This virus, it seems, not only suffocates you from lower airway edema but interferes with hemoglobin function. Like we used to say when I was on trauma teams. Its the second car that hits you that really kills you.
