"Clinical course is predictable. 2-11 days after exposure (day 5 on average) flu like symptoms start. Common are fever, headache, dry cough, myalgias(back pain), nausea without vomiting, abdominal discomfort with some diarrhea, loss of smell, anorexia, fatigue.
Day 5 of symptoms- increased SOB, and bilateral viral pneumonia from direct viral damage to lung parenchyma.
Day 10- Cytokine storm leading to acute ARDS and multiorgan failure. You can literally watch it happen in a matter of hours.
81% mild symptoms, 14% severe symptoms requiring hospitalization, 5% critical."
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.

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.
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...
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.
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.
