I am an ER MD in New Orleans. Class of 98. Every one of my colleagues have now seen several hundred Covid 19 patients and this is what I think I know.

He never claimed to be a doc. He clearly stated he was not the source several times, yet you continued to badger him as if that somehow refuted the content of the post.

If you had a real argument you would have been able to refute the post rather than attack the messenger.

Go to page two, about a third of the way down. Guy named "DifferenceMaker Ag" added lay language in parentheses and bolded which is very helpful for non-medical people...

Which will peek in the final week in June.

It will be the 28th, around 4PM, just after the rain stops. There is no basis for that statement.

Since you only dish abuse and never any actual facts or even reasoned argument, I can only conclude that you are an actual Village Idiot.

In relatively small areas of China, any elderly who are ill are being shot by local governments. In somewhat larger areas, the elderly who are diagnosed with Wuhan Virus are shot by local governments. In the vast remainder of China, all the elderly who ill are either denied hospitaliztion, or only the elderly diagnosed with Wuhan Virus are denied all care. This is not a good time to be old in China.

Mass testing for Wuhan Virus has ceased and is done only for diagnostic purposes when the ill report to hospitals, or for the politically connected. The latter are hospitalized when necessary but not ordinary people, who get only out-patient care. Right now the Chinese medical system has allegedly broken down because there are just too many desperately ill to care for.

RummyChick,

you have written much about the cytokine storm...Is that what you think is happening with these patients?

Seems I have read something about Zithro and zinc too...

And I have elderberry, garlic, ginger, and some other things too...

I find it hard to believe that ignoramuses like you still exist.

I'm not. Their life is purely a warning to others.

Thanks.

From https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20150207:

"Azithromycin induces anti-viral responses in bronchial epithelial cells."

From the abstract:

In conclusion, the results demonstrate that azithromycin has anti-rhinoviral activity in bronchial epithelial cells and, during rhinovirus infection, increases the production of interferon-stimulated genes.

Of course, that doesn’t exclude it from having anti-coronavirus activity.

Up thread he said he knows medicine because he cleans toilets at a doctor's office. Claims he has a really really really smart daughter. Funny, intelligence is usually matriarch inherited. Thank goodness his intelligence genes will die out.

The normal ER patients were staying away.

Wow, amazing that happened. "Normal" ER patients deciding "I'm not so bad after all - I can tough it out at home." How many needless MI deaths occurred at home?

“And there is some reason I take Vitamin A and Zinc together but I cant remember what it is.”

Vitamin A and Zinc together have been shown to help fight infections .

The forum is also verifying credentials and tagging them as doctors.

I think that makes it more likely. Perhaps what works against rhinovirus also works against coronavirus.

Your own immune system fights back and goes on overload.
