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.

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.

Does God command we dispense with truth, analytical thinking and common sense on Sunday?

There was a delay in getting him tested by the hospital, for some reason. The article says he was given one of the anti malaria medications but it doesn’t say at what point it was given to him.

Wow.On a Sunday morning.

I was taught that God allows defiantly sinful people to reap the "rewards" of their sinfulness. How about you?

Asthma is probably a strong comorbidity factor. Many parents are highly concerned for their asthmatic children.

I saw a doctor who is on the front line mention three big ones...hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. I am sure asthma is right up there with it.

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
