I’m getting tired of “iconic”.

I knew there was one I forgot, and that's it. Thanks.

how about adding “ out of an abundance of caution” to the list...

Yeah, and also "at the end of the day," although that seems to be more a "thing" in Canadia.

please, only go to the ER if you have fever and a bad non productive cough, or shortness of breath.....people should stay home for anything less....there is no cure...just rest, and fluids, etc....

this story is silly because if one is sick , one knows it, and getting a positive test does not mean you get a free admission to the hospital....you get to go home and feel sorry for yourselves...

Israel is so far ahead of the stupid FDA. They approved several drugs for multiple treatments. They have over 500 cases and ZERO deaths.

Colloidal Silver: Antibiotic of the Future

The Antibiotic of the Future

Antibiotic-resistant germs are now considered epidemic in the United States, accounting for a growing number of serious infectious disorders. While most antibiotics disinfect about a half dozen or so germs, silver has been reported to disinfect hundreds. Most importantly, unlike conventional antibiotics, germs cannot build a resistance to the action of silver. A properly prepared colloid of silver is a special liquid preparation of this trace mineral that is extremely safe to use, even with children and pets, without many of the negative side effects of prescription antibiotics.

I just went back and read my post to you. My take on the presser which I did watch was wrong. In fact the “off label” prescription is only as a last resort as you said.

I apologize for my boorish post.

I was listening to a medical call-in show today and a snowflake called in and said he had heard that global warmming is making people come down with a fever and causes them to test positive for covid 19. What was more nonsensical was the doctor responding that global warming was a serious problem and takes away from our ability to deal with covid-19.

Why the obsession with being tested? We are becoming a nation of big babies with no common sense. If you start to get a fever, you can stay home without being told, and, if Corona symptoms develop, you can call public health about any of your contacts. Only during the Trump Presidency is all this testing being demanded. Nor is testing required to determine whether to administer a specialty drug for a cure — because there is presently no such drug— only recuperation.

How many people do you think unnecessarily went for testing??”
..........
Since one cannot get tested without an Rx from a physician, I would say none.
*********?**
Most doctors don’t want to get sued, so they are not going to say, “No, I’m not going to prescribe a test for you.” They’ll hand-out prescriptions for tests like they overprescribed antibiotics, without worrying about whether the prescriptions can be filled.

Common sense instead of fear of being wrong or hidebound.

Funny, I never hear of places like Israel making huge mistakes and causing lots of problems by being practical in things like this.
