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.

Not good. Plaquenil Is hydroxychloroquine. He’s giving his patients that and the zpac with little or no effect. Hopefully with refined dosage, it’ll kick in. Bookmarking his post to read future updates, if any.

It’s an immune system over-reaction to the strange virus. A massive over-reaction that if it’s in the lung can drown you in antibodies.

The 1918 flu is suspected to have caused cytokine storms in tbe young and healthy. Healthy adults could develop flu symptoms in the morning and be dead by evening. Normal flus kill by secondary pneumonia. Hybrid animal/human flus can provoke cytokine storm.

This Covid-19 virus is largely a bat coronavirus. So I suppose like hybrid flus that makes it something of a zoonotic disease

Would cytokine storm explain why some patients laugh it off and others go critical?

“So does this mean I am in constant mode of a cytokine storm or a storm that is about to hit”

No. A cytokine storm is a massive immune system over-reaction that can damage major organs or even kill you.

Why is this NOT information to base a response on?

His numbers are based one those who presented at the Hospital. For example 80 something % mild symptoms, 5% critical, etc.

What about the untold masses who are symptomless? Which I think is the majority. So then it’s NOT 5%. Lets say they hare missing 80% of the cases (a fair geuss) then they real critical rate is <1%.

IF 5% critical was true, then new would have Tens of thousands dead - a reminder 20-70,000 die a year due to Flu.

Stop with the Hysteria based on Junk Science.

I theorize that Ibuprofen is one reason why some can laugh it off and some dont

Seeing cases of people who reveal how bad it was and they mention taking it for the aches

Anectodal.

But enough that I will not be taking for anything until this resolves itself

It IS a flu. I know a man who went into heart block from H1N1 (swine flu), because of course, the sainted Barack Hussein Obama was “in President” and the media kept the whole thing under wraps.

I have seen the bilateral interstitial pneumonia on the xray of the asymptomatic shoulder dislocation

Could be the lyrics for a hit song.

I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun
And I've seen bilateral interstitial pneumonia on the xray of the asymptomatic shoulder dislocation
But I never seen nothin' like you

Do you, do you want my love, woman
Do you, do you want my face, I need it!
Do you, do you want my mind, I'm saying it!
Do you, do you want my love

Oh wait that one's been done. Never mind.

Believing things posted on the internet by “someone” is an example of poor judgment.

But...

“A considerable number of inflammatory cytokines have been shown to be elevated in lesional psoriasis skin”

And we know that some of the treatments being tried for Wuhan are anti inflammatory.

So anyone who has psoriasis and not on medication could be at higher risk

No, not difficulty breathing.

Patients are coming in hypoxic (even 75%) without dyspnea.

Without means not.

I get this a lot. I'm always asked if I have trouble breathing when I get my vitals read.

Yes, and how convenient coincidental. Bastards!

Except they are trying to intimidate the most powerful street fighter in the world. Kung flu isn't going to cut it.

You old folks are getting scared now that its real. I can smell in on you. After a month of pissing all over us, you are starting to see that its here. And its not the friggin flu.

Come on now, LT. This is not about you or others being pissed on for ringing the bell early. Leave the personal animus out of it.

It's about providing info for people to make data informed decisions and choices. You do a good job in helping provide info.

People make the decisions they make. We all have agency.

It’s sarcasm. By the guy that (mostly) runs the CV threads. You should come visit.

“Do you have any medical training at all?”

I didn’t write it. I don’t ask you how much legal training you have when you run your mouth about Supreme Court opinions.

As if I’ve offered any opinion at all on it (I do have one), I just posted the link to this Dr’s story.

You are Mad, FluBro, and not in the “angry” sense of the word.

“Would cytokine storm explain why some patients laugh it off and others go critical?”

It’s probably more common to go critical through secondary pneumonia. But here’s a Lancet article on Covid and Cytokine Storm Syndrome:
