In particular, anything that lowers your CD4 count...
Wow!
Many don't remember the early days of that other virus, before it was controlled by anti-virals.
A local (CT) radio talk show host (who is a pastor) slipped into dark humor this morning—he said he was glad that states like Georgia, Tennessee and others are starting to open up—so we can learn from them.....
Then he said something like—”better them than us....”
And weird lung infections caused by fungi that the MD’s had never seen before.
Wow, the hate. The whole world is turning hateful.
Left verses Right
West verses East

Not good at all.. I saw the video where they rounding up blacks in China. Not good
Right. But there are many viruses and other pathogens that weaken the immune system. Secondary infections are responsible for a lot of the deaths.
But one, in particular, nukes the CD4 count.

Abstract
COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease-19) is a zoonotic illness first reported in the city of Wuhan, China in December 2019, and is now officially a global pandemic as declared by the World Health Organization. The infection is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 infected patients can be asymptomatic carriers or present with mild-to-severe respiratory symptoms. Imaging, including computed tomography is not recommended to screen/diagnose COVID-19 infections, but plays an important role in management of these patients, and to rule out alternative diagnoses or coexistent diseases. In our multicenter case series, we outline the clinical presentations and illustrate the most common imaging manifestations in patients hospitalized with COVID-19

“I realize these figures are a bit lower than both JHU and worldometers. I feel that worldometers is getting a little too far ahead in NY and the numbers are not supported by official releases. JHU also includes 357 deaths in Veterans hospitals - are those double counted as state deaths too? Both also include 23 deaths from Federal prisons, 22 deaths of US military personnel and 3 deaths from the Grand Princess. Again rather than possibly double counting these, I’m setting them to one side for now.” - RK

That is the kill shot for the US. Mexico border hospitals collapse and thousands of infected head to US for treatment
Of the 14,828 deaths in New York since the first mortality on March 14:
60% were men, 40% were women
84% of the deaths were age 60 and older
No matter the age, COVID-19 is a serous illness for many people with underlying chronic disease.
13,197 (89%) of those who died had at least one chronic disease, with the top three identified being:
Hypertension - 65%
Diabetes - 42%
Hyperlipidemia - 23%

France with 6% immune from all 8 strains?
Is it your husband who’s staying in the RV? “RVs for MDs” during CV were a topic on FNC this morning. You started a trend.
Singapore’s contact tracing of covid19 cases is second-to-none.
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/grace-assembly-coronavirus-mystery-solved-mega-cluster-linked-to-2-wuhan-tourists-via-a
There were two mega clusters of covid19 cases that they couldn’t figure out how they were related. One was at Grace Assembly church/Missions Singapore (Jan 19) and the other at a Chinese New Year party (Jan 25). Turns out an asymptomatic tourist couple from Wuhan came to the church on Jan 19. One of the church members got infected by just sitting in the same seat(!!), spread covid19 at the Chinese New Year party on Jan 25. Two people at that party got infected and spread it back to church members (Jan 29-Feb 9). One church woman died. See the fascinating contact tracing diagram in this article.
Where the article ends is not the end of the story. One of those church members is a missionary. He travelled across the world to preach in at least 2 churches in a city. He was asymptomatic. In his wake, 34 people were infected. A few of them ended in icu, one was on a ventilator. How many did this missionary really infect? No one knows. From what I can tell, he’s still alive. They think the original wuhan infectious couple is also alive. Very sobering story.
