Best wishes for a full recovery to the gentleman.
From the article:
“David Lat is in critical condition and has been has been put on a ventilator at NYU Langone Hospital in Manhattan, where his fight with the coronavirus has taken a turn for the worse, according to his husband, Zachary Baron Shemtob.”
Do you think the fact that Lat has a “husband” might say something about his immune system status?
I hope one of the newer treatments makes his symptoms improve rapidly!
The article also says that Mr. Lat has asthma.
If he gets better, I doubt he’ll care whether it was a new treatment, an old treatment, or just time.
Who?
Who the hell is David lay?
I suspect electric ceiling fan drives have the right speed, power and reliability to be used to build ventilators.
There are millions of ceiling fans in the USA.
“... according to his husband”
Pre-existing conditions, obviously.
Wow.
On a Sunday morning.
No wonder people think conservatives are a-holes.
Does God command we dispense with truth, analytical thinking and common sense on Sunday?
Who?
and
Who cares?

Guess ya gotta be a lawyer to know wth this guy is.
Wow.On a Sunday morning.

This virus presents itself in different ways.
I posted an article yesterday saying some of the different symptoms that you wouldnt think of. DOnt remember if it mentioned tingling in the arms and legs but that is one.
It is a perfect bioweapon to cause economic chaos. Or designed by nature and Gods plan. It seems so innocuous in the beginning..like something you have had perhaps dozens of times before in your life
Asthma has definitely been listed in reports as being an underlying condition that can make this worse
