Hyperferritinemia in Critically Ill Patients*

https://journals.lww.com/ccmjournal/Abstract/2020/04000/Hyperferritinemia_in_Critically_Ill_Patients_.3.aspx

Maximum ferritin of 9,083 µg/L showed high sensitivity and specificity and, therefore, may contribute to improved diagnosis of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in ICU. The inclusion of ferritin into the sepsis laboratory panel is warranted.

Well this the situation kiddies. They have been able, the Chicoms and the Stupid Dutch, to create a completely artificial virus from base organic matter. The finished virus is 100 % exact copy of a natural one, with absolutely no way to distinguish artificial from fake. You know what that means right ? Absolutely no way to tell natural virus from fake. That is where we are right now. And the chinese are threatening to unleash more artificial viruses. Whether you realize it or not yet, the old world is dead.

“Perhaps it lingers in the system for years and can pop back up like Ebola.”

I have been thinking that might be possible like HIV.

Or maybe similar to Chickenpox/shingles. You catch the virus while you are young then later in life when your immune system is not as strong it comes back to get you.

This might change(lower) the average life expectancy of the Human Race. Instead of 71 it could be as low as 61 because this virus kills older folks and people with heath conditions.

That right there is about the worse form of government possible. Force a private business to house people it does not want on its property. Next they will be forcing homeless into your home. The city needs to build its own shelters.

The Xinhua article made a point of noting that China has leverage over the U.S. and Europe because it can restrict the supply of medicines that were unwisely outsourced to China in the heyday of globalism.

Truly sickening...that we EVER became dependent on this evil regime for our vital meds.

Thanks, ClintonBush0blama 😡

Our man-child Surgeon General should have been fired long ago. He daddy must know important people to get him to this rank because he sure didn’t do it on his own. Peter Principle to the fullest.

He got a full ride college scholarship. Wiki - “The Meyerhoff Scholarship Program is noted for its success in increasing the representation of minority students in STEM.” Also, a free ride as a Eli Lilly scholar at medical school. He completed his residency in 2006. After two years of practice, he became an assistant professor at Indiana Univ.

In 2014, Pence appointed him Indiana State Health Commissioner. In 2017, Trump appointed him Surgeon General. That’s a meteoric rise.

With all his appointments, it doesn’t appear he’s had much hands on experience. Sorry, a residency followed by two years of practice doesn’t amount to much. No wonder he can’t figure out whether a mask helps or not and explains all the fumbling folding a bandanna.

I am reusing N95 masks after a single use. Only after being wrapped in a paper towel for a week and then left to dry for 3 more weeks. You need to have a decent amount on hand for that rotation. But 4 weeks should kill any virus in the mask. Yes that is overkill and a doctor was rotating 7 through a single weeks rotation.

Parts of this virus, the most lethal ones, have been completely redesigned. The scuttlebut is the RATTG virus that magically appeared on January 20th from the bat lady, was a poor attempt at creating a false close natural virus to SARS COV-2. Or perhaps RATTG was the blue print for the artificial virus version. Kinda strange that some codon strings never changed or even mutated lol. While other key ones did change drastically in bad ways.

So, using the portal exposed other info of your’s - or rnot ?

No. It was my patient record at the hospital. I just never knew I could access my records and didn't even know that CT record existed. The portal is secure. It meets PII/PHI security standards.

Antibody blood test sent through the mail. All sorts of wicked medical stuff is sent through the mail. That was part of the reason it was taking the actual CV tests results taking so long. Yeah, those CV samples bouncing around mail trucks right along with Aunt Betty’s birthday card and your phone bill. What could possibly go wrong?

A cell phone camera on a gooseneck would do fine. A clean table with even lighting will help the results. I've been telecommuting since the mid 80s. Technology improves. It was 103 modems with rubber ear cups and a swapmeet acquired HeathKit H-19 in 1983. Good enough for the mainframe then. Employers today expect a bed scanner on the computer and ability to use Adobe Acrobat DC with a PKI card to digitally sign documents OR a signed paper scanned back into PDF for transmission via e-mail. That has been a condition of my employment for the last 20 years. My employer only provides the company managed laptop. The rest is at my expense. Printer, scanner, routers, cables, internet service and cell phone are not covered by my employer. My employer does pay for postage and shipping to move packages and documents.

I have many worn out multi-function ink jet printer/scanner/copiers. The printers wear out fast and the ink is expensive. I would recommend a good HP color laser printer/scanner/copier as money well spent. I still use the bed scanner of the old Epson device today, but I'm not putting any more money in the ink jet printer.

The Everly Well genetic/metabolic tests use a finger prick on filter paper. Good enough to get blood type and do DNA typing. There's no reason that means of collection wouldn't work for COVID-19 antibody testing. The active test for presence of viral particles needs a blood draw that goes right to the analytic machine quickly or the sample may degrade sufficiently to make it useless.

IHIOGA that a major hospital in Houston has seen the same thing. To the point that they think they’ve figured it out. But not really going public with it until they follow the proper protocols, etc. whatever that means. I’m not in the medical field.


probably along the lines of what Medcram is figuring out

It looks like this technology has been available for years in China, Europe and the US.

While the virologists will claim they are just “studying viruses”, their motives are ultimately irrelevant.

They have created labs full of monsters that could be unleashed intentionally or accidentally, anytime, anywhere.
