No it isn't.
No mention of zinc, vitamin C, or vitamin D, either.
I agree tube em and send em up. But that is where he fails the sniff test. No ER doc would give advanced MVS advice like this. He is also flat wrong on his sedation statements. There are a whole lotta holes in this post. Some obvious. Some subtle
And it is the same post that has come from
Upstate NY. NOLA etc almost verbatim.
One thing I have noticed inn “the numbers” is they seemingly arbitrarily change the “cut off” all over the place. 7 PM, 5 AM, midnight, 10 PM. Intentionally or not it appears the data inflow was being throttled. That led to an impression that clearly was not true.
My point is that isolating and caring for those most at risk doesn’t require:
Hysteria
Lock down
Spending trillions
Hype
Fear mongering
Generational warfare

Hopefully something like that plays out. Part of a solution should involve the elderly not having to leave their homes. At all. A program announced very LOUD that they can have anything they need (food, prescriptions) delivered would seem like an obvious place to start.
Ok fair enough, but do me a favor. Visit you local rescue squad and ask them if their calls for aid/transport have increased or the volume changed as a result of COVID. Ask the about pulmonary distress ceases. Then get back to us.
That’s because each state reported at different times. That’s been transparent. NY is reporting a few times per day. Other states once per day and at varying times.
I have noticed this too
Any comparisons to Chinese numbers are meaningless.
According to a Mossad and British analysis (made public), the Chinese numbers understate by a factor of 40 and show not only selective data gathering but transparently obvious manipulation after the fact.
Wow.
They will still be in denial.
Good catch. Like I say, my experience was 30 years ago. I was a damn wizard in the ICU. You had to prove that in my day to get a “seat in the OR” in your next year. Some programs surgical interns didn’t know where the damn OR was. Thankfully, not mine. I did a couple gall bladders the “old way” as an intern. That was a reward damn few got.
Today I don’t recognize the names of drugs, the old MA IIs are long gone. When I was a Neurosurgery Resident I set the vent wherever I wanted it and told the Nurse to document the order. When I was a Family Practice resident a number of folks didn’t realize I had done a prior Residency. I vividly recall changing the vent settings on a patient and you’d have thought I had set the damn building on fire. People came running form all corners of the ICU yelling, “What are you doing?”. I realized they were probably right. I never touched a vent again.
I would like all the fearpers to roll the dice and play monopoly. I want them to publish a single number that is their estimate or the number of deaths we will have as a result of this pandemic. No wiggling around it. No qualifiers. I have a number in my mind. Let’s see if they are brave enough to come out and say what they think. Travis is the worlds smarter guy. So I think he should know. And for his gratification I stated he wrote something on a different threat. It was in fact DannyTn so much apologies to Travis. Nonetheless between these two there is a distinction without difference

AND DON'T, I REPEAT DON'T resort to childish names of those you disagree with as part of your argument.
It serves absolutely no purpose except to antagonize and get those basically on the same side fighting against each other.
A day without this cartoon would be like a day without Travis....
Apples and oranges.........
I just knew you had surgical training somewhere. It’s why we argue and disagree but still can maintain relationships. Surgeons and anesthesiologists. The odd couple of medicine.
And I have no idea where the NYT gets their data from but it’s different than what the states are reporting.
Oh, you again .... of course...
I have seen surgeons scream at the gas guy. I always thought it was a little unbecoming. Yes we are from different tribes. But I also did a Family. Practice Residency and had a private practice which was very satisfying because my patients were “friends” so as much as I hated Primary Care it was fun.
There are vast regions that may never experience the exponential phase. Right now they are wondering what all the fuss is.
