You are welcome to come treat these pts with me if you know so much better. By the way you get one mask every 3 days and share gowns. But i’m sure the vast knowledge you all have obtained reading opinions on the internet is superior to my medical school, residency, and 35 years of experience.
Do you still have a link to it?
“Yep, make that link go viral.”
It’s been ‘viral’ for around three days and yet the consensus among clinical medical specialists and researchers seems to be ‘We don’t buy it”.
See this reply on another thread about that video.

What a wonderful catch!
And that happens regardless of the type of cell bearing the receptor.
Nobody says the virus is a trained sniper. Think of analogy to sperm.
"We see that internal fertilization is a losing strategy. How many sperm die / get eaten by white blood cells / go down the wrong fallopian tube. And external fertilization is even worse." Therefore, sexual reproduction is an untenable hypothesis.
Seriously, take a step back and think before -- oh, that's right.
NPCs can't do anything but canned responses.
Can you try please?
Mainly because it didn’t come from a fellow MD.
These are the same world-beaters who opposed handwashing for surgery and childbirth. And mocked the idea of bacteria causing ulcers. Just like Fiddler on the Roof.
Tradition!
Messy disease...
Try post number 4 in the thread, I think...
No disparagement intended for the good Dr’s out there: and there are quite a few.
It’s the newer ones that have been “trained” by the establishment to lose their critical thinking skills.
These up and comers can and should be learning from the “old timers” who went through the school of hard knocks (so to speak), not from a bunch of bookworms who have never dirtied their hands.
It’s been my observation over the years that the very talented Dr’s (especially the ones who specialize) are what some people would consider as arrogant and aloof. When they are in actuality, extremely self-confident and focused. These are the ones that I’d want working on me and mine if the need should arise.
The Dr’s that argue over this, that, and the other need to knock off the BS and remember their oath: Do No Harm.
I’ve seen other things that indicate that in some cases, at least, this virus is basically a heme burglar, latching onto hemoglobin and rendering it useless for carrying oxygen and CO2, either by destroying it or removing the iron atoms from it.

‘And mocked the idea of bacteria causing ulcers.”
Yeah buddy..... wasn’t that guy an Aussie doc?
Took like 5 years, give or take, before he was vindicated.
Bunch of knuckleheads.... couldn’t stand it that some lowly “peon” had figured it out.
This would suggest to me that if you lived in a region like Denver (high alt city)...you’d be in a serious amount of trouble to survive.
I'm definitely not an expert on this stuff, but from what I know of reading of climbers, those people's bodies/systems are acclimated and adapted to those conditions ... so it would all be relative.
That said, I bet if a sea level dweller - say a beginning hiker from New Orleans, caught Corona on a Monday and flew into Denver on Friday for a 3 week camp in the mountains -> that would not be pretty, and would be exactly the situation you're talking about - where they would be doubly screwed. .
IIRC Ginsberg was on one during her illnesses.
Sounds like chemical warfare delivered via a bioagent

Best case, is an experienced doc who avidly reads up on new events.
there are maybe 1-2 ecmo machines in the largest hospitals most do not have one. The required specialized care by a trained perfusionist ICU nurses do not run these. It is a last ditch effort that is usually less successful than the standard hail mary.
I’m wondering how many people have low oxygen in their bloodstream to begin with. How many are shallow breathers to begin with.
