Response to the article I shared about COVID, from a nurse friend.
Response to the article I shared about COVID, from a nurse
friend.
Not the flu:
As flu season
progresses during the winter 5 to 20% of people exposed get a viral infection,
3 to 11% have symptoms.
As people get older,
they get symptoms with the flu much less often. Children get ill much more
often from the flu compared to adults who have a more developed immune system.
Flu deaths occur
mostly in children under the age of 2 and in the very elderly (70 plus). Any
age group is more likely to die with the flu if they have chronic medical
conditions.
From onset of exposure
to illness is 24 to 48 hours. A person can spread the flu before they have
symptoms or if they get infected but never develop symptoms but they are much
less contagious. Mostly flu is spread while a person has symptoms.
Flu seems to mainly
attack the respiratory system. When people develop pneumonia from the flu it
usually is in one lobe of the lungs, sometimes it spreads to all the lobes on
one side (fun fact 2 lobes on the left, 3 on the right). It is very rare for
people to get pneumonia in both lungs from the flu.
Some people have GI
symptoms like nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Flu does not attack other
organs like the heart, liver or kidneys.
We know a great deal
about the flu because doctors and scientists have studied it for more than a 100-years.
There are many treatments for the flu and a yearly vaccine.
Covid 19
Doctors have only been
able to study it for less than 4 months. Before that doctors had not even
identified the illness caused by covid 19 as a separate illness. Not clear when
this really started. Some say the end of December some say earlier.
It is unclear how
contagious covid 19 is. It is more contagious that Sars or Mers. It may be less
contagious than flu but no one before this year had developed immunity to it.
Many more people will catch this than the flu in the next 2 years, after that
who knows, but certainly many less.
After exposure to
covid 19 people develop symptoms in an average of 5 days. Some
people have not developed symptoms for as many
as 28 days after exposure. Many
people never develop symptoms or symptoms so
mild they don't recall being sick. On the USS Theodore Roosevelt as of 4/24 678
crew members out of 4,068 tested positive. I don't think they tested all of the
crew. As many as 60% of those tested positive had no symptoms. It is unclear
how contagious people without symptoms are. The population of a Navy ship is
much younger than the general population. Also, one assumes none of them have
major underlying conditions yet one sailor did die and more may die.
It is clear people
without symptoms can spread the disease. It is also clear that the sicker a
person is with the disease the more easily they can spread it. That is why more
health care workers get Covid 19.
I do not trust much of
the data coming out of China but I do trust some of the
data coming from doctors in China. Much of
this data has been confirmed by other
doctors in the world.
China tested many
children, most of the world has not tested many children. Many children tested
positive with Covid 19. China did not have any recorded deaths in children. It
is unclear why children do not usually get symptoms from Covid 19 nor why they
don't die from it. In other countries including the US, there have been reports
that children can get unusual blisters on their toes that resemble frostbite
blisters. No one knows why this happens. It is very possible that a child with
an underlying medical condition could die from covid 19. It is also believed
that children can spread covid 19 so schools need to stay closed for now.
If someone has a
chronic condition such as Copd and gets the flu and dies, we say they died of the
flu. If a person has the flu and died in a car accident, we say they died with
the flu. That example is very clear but it is not always easy to determine
which way it is. My Mother died during the influenza A epidemic in Dec 2017.
She was never tested for the flu nor did she have a chest x-ray to confirm that
she had pneumonia as we put her on hospice first. My Dad was tested for the flu
and was confirmed to have influenza A at the same time. I am 99% sure she died
of pneumonia from the flu but her death certificate says she died of Alzheimer
disease as her doctor had no proof she had the flu or pneumonia.
People who get symptoms from the flu usually
get a high fever (greater than 101 degrees), respiratory symptoms and recover in
7 to 10 days.
People who get
symptoms from Covid 19 often get high fevers that lasts for many days sometimes
as long as 2 weeks. If they develop
pneumonia it is in both lungs which makes this a much more serious disease.
Many people take 10 days to 3 weeks to recover from Covid 19. Some people lose their sense of smell and/or
taste. Sometime that is the only symptom they have. No one is sure why. Does
Covid 19 infect nerve cells? Covid 19 can invade T cells like HIV disease. This
prevents the t cells from working to help kill the virus but unlike HIV covid
19 does not seem to be able to reproduce in the T cells only in respiratory or
GI cells. Covid 19 can cause severe kidney damage including people needing
dialysis. Covid 19 can damage the heart, how it does that is not clear. Some
doctors think that it may attack hemoglobin in the red blood cells but it is
not clear this is so or how this happens. Doctors are seeing very tiny clots in
the blood of Covid 19. How or why this happens is not clear and how much damage
this does to a person is also not clear. This does not happen in the flu.
Many doctors are
seeing 2 different types of respiratory symptoms in people with covid 19. One
is like the more usual ards they see in severely ill patients with respiratory
illness. The other seems more like high altitude sickness. Why do some get one
type and others the other? We know how to treat ards but what is the best way
to treat the second type?
When people get
pneumonia with covid 19 they get scarring in both lungs. It is possible that
your body can repair some of this damage but like any scars you get some or
most of the damage is permanent. This could lead to permanent disability in
some people.
The majority of deaths
from Covid 19 are in people over the age of 70. It is estimated that this is
80% of the deaths from covid 19. But 20% of the deaths are under that age,
including some in their 20s. Most of these deaths are in people with underlying
conditions yet some die with no underlying conditions. If you are exposed to
high concentrations of the virus you are both more likely to contract covid 19
and more likely get very sick or die from it. This is why health care workers,
and first responders (i.e. police, fire, ems) are more likely to die from covid
19. If you work in conditions that expose you to many people or work close
together, you are more likely to catch any viral disease. This means people who
live in a city are more likely to get this virus more quickly than those who
live in rural areas. But this will spread to rural areas in time.
The other thing about
this disease that people don't understand is that the infection spreads in an
exponential fashion because it is new. This does not happen in the flu and
after Covid 19 has been around for a while won't happen that way again. That is
first 1 person gets it then 2 then 4 then 8 etc. Why this is hard to understand
is that at first the numbers rise very slowly but later rise very rapidly. If
you let this disease spread unchecked suddenly millions, then 10 of millions
become infected and deaths increase with them.
Now suppose we did not
do the stay at home orders and shut down businesses. Some old people would die
and but our economy would be ok right? Not so. What do you think would happen
when suddenly people started dying of an unknown disease? It mostly seems to
kill old people but your 40-year-old neighbor just died of it. There are no treatments,
this causes panic. Your cousin got the disease and said it was the worse
illness of his life and everyone thought he was going to die. He got better but
only after weeks of being very sick and no one knows how long it will take
before he is well enough to go back to work. You do not know just what problems
this disease causes strange symptoms are happening to people. Suddenly the
hospitals are full and medical people are dying of this disease. The hospitals
are turning people away. Patients are on the floor and in every waiting room
seat. The bodies are piling up and cannot be removed fast enough. (This happened in Wuhan). Many people in a
meat packing plant get sick and some die. Do you really think business would go
on as normal? This pandemic was going to trash our economy anyways.
The question has
always been how to limit the number of people who die from this disease and
limit the damage to the economy. I personally believe we now have enough data
to begin reopen some businesses. Many places which have an increasing number of
cases must wait days or weeks longer before starting to reopen. We must reopen
slowly and take precautions using the information we have learned. Everyone
must wear a facial covering in public. Not an n95 mask but something to stop
the flow of air from your lungs to someone else. My mask protects you; your
mask protects me. This will slow the spread of the disease greatly. We will
need to stay apart as much as possible (six feet apart or 6 feet under).
Restaurants start with 25% occupancy. We see how that goes for a couple of
months then increase to 50% etc. We must test lots of people constantly to
watch if the spread is increasing again. This has not been possible to do in
the US until just recently and is still not possible in some places. The supple
chain problems have caused trouble getting reagents for the test kits and swabs
to do the test. We have just gotten the machines available to do the tests in
every state but that is not enough. As
we reopen up, we must expect an increase in cases but keep the number low enough
to control the spread to stop exponential growth.
If all people wear
facial coverings and social distance, I believe we can reopen all parks,
playgrounds and beaches now. But this means we must limit the number of people
in these places, enforce the facial covering and distancing rules. That might
be hard to do. If we do not reopen businesses using the data, we have we risk
starting all over again with unnecessary deaths to our people and more damage
to our economy.
Please feel free to
share this with all the people you shared the first article with. I would be
happy to discuss this further with you. We should not let politics determine
how we respond to this pandemic but I am afraid with the division we have today
both sides will try to further their agendas. We all need to try and respond as
rationally as possible and trust doctors and scientists to guide us.

Fauci says leak concerns fueled his White House revelation of Gilead drug results
Excerpt: Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is running the trial, said he took the first opportunity to get the word out that patients taking a dummy treatment or placebo should be switched to remdesivir in hopes of benefiting from it. He expressed concern that leaks of partial information would lead to confusion. (...) "It was purely driven by ethical concerns," Fauci told Reuters in a telephone interview. "I would love to wait to present it at a scientific meeting, but it's just not in the cards when you have a situation where the ethical concern about getting the drug to people on placebo dominates the conversation." An independent data safety and monitoring board, which had looked at the preliminary results of the NIAID trial, determined it had met its primary goal of reducing hospital stays. [Another little bit of encouraging news, but note they’re being very conservative in claims of benefits from it. Ron P.]

Why Is It So Hard to Understand Competing Risks?
Why Is It So Hard to Understand Competing Risks?
Excerpt: I don’t think that Harris is accurately defining moral relativism, but even beside that point, he glides over the fact that people will die if we are to continue the lockdown, too. “Pediatricians across the U.S. are seeing a steep drop in the number of children coming in for appointments right now — only about 20 percent to 30 percent of the volume they would normally see this time of year.” This means kids aren’t getting the vaccinations that they normally would. Cancer patients needed to postpone most non-life-and-death treatments for about seven weeks: “The new order comes as a relief to cancer patients, many of who had to either postpone surgeries or find alternative treatment options for the time being. While some more urgent surgeries were allowed to proceed following the March 13th executive order, such as surgeries to treat particularly aggressive cancers, many patients — notably, many breast cancer patients, who are able to treat their disease temporarily with hormone-regulating medication — were forced to delay their surgical procedures.” That spiking death rate in major cities reflects the spread of SARS-CoV-2 — but it also could reflect people who would otherwise go to a doctor or hospital staying home out of fear of catching the virus at the hospital, and paying the ultimate price:
Canada is proving how bad “Medicare for All” would be
Canada is proving how bad “Medicare for All” would be
Excerpt: Even with a drastically smaller population, Canada’s government-run healthcare system is failing its citizens spectacularly. While the LA Times fancifully imagined that a U.S. Medicare for All program would have prevented the federal government from having to send emergency aid to hospitals and overrun state health facilities, that is not the evidence we find in Canada. There, the federal government has also committed billions upon billions of dollars to bail out struggling hospitals and medical institutions throughout their provinces. And their situation is actually far more urgent. Why? Because long before COVID-19 arrived on the scene, Canada’s government-run health system had already created the singular feature of all government-run health systems: mass shortages.

Climate Attack Dogs Target Michael Moore for Exposing Green Energy Myths
Climate Attack Dogs Target Michael Moore for Exposing Green Energy Myths
Excerpt: Leftist leaders of the environmental movement are attacking far Left filmmaker and Bernie Sanders supporter Michael Moore, trying to destroy the progressive documentarian for honestly pointing out the green energy scam is nothing more nor less than crony capitalism disguised as the planet’s salvation in his new film, “Planet of the Humans,” released on YouTube for free viewing on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Produced by Moore and directed by his long-time collaborator Jeff Gibbs, the film exposes the facts that green energy can’t prevent climate change, and those saying it can are profiting handsomely from government green energy subsidies and mandates. The movie shows, for example, solar panels are made with metallurgical coal and require 16 times more materials in the form of cement, glass, and steel than do nuclear plants, and create 300 times more waste.

Dem VP shortlisters condemned Kavanaugh: Here’s their response to Biden accusation
Dem VP shortlisters condemned Kavanaugh: Here’s their response to Biden accusation
Excert: Nine U.S. senators who have gotten buzz as potential picks to be presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's running mate were in the Senate in 2018 when Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation process was roiled by accusations of sexual assault. They did not hold back in their condemnation of the court pick and in their calls for the accusers' claims to be fully investigated. Now, Biden's presidential campaign also is grappling with a developing accusation of sexual assault from the 1990s -- which aides have adamantly denied. But most of those same senators have not commented on this allegation, or have downplayed it.
Biden, Trump, Amash, and 202(4)
Biden, Trump, Amash, and 202(4)
Excerpt: did not vote for Trump in 2016. I voted third party. When I announced I could never vote for Trump that year, I had people show up at my house and threaten my family and me. My children were harassed. People called my radio station to try to have me fired. My wife had a woman at church confront her. I had people at church confront me. It was a terribly unpleasant experience, but I held my ground. The chief objection is that a vote for anyone other than Trump would get Hillary Clinton elected. That did not turn out to be so. So I will spare any of you analysis on whether voting for Justin Amash will help or hurt Trump or Biden. My sense is that Amash will take votes away from Trump and Biden. There is a class of reluctant Trump voter, of which I am a part, who decided they would support Trump because the Democrats have lost their damn minds and the policies from the Trump Administration have been far better than any of us expected.
Tara Reade and Joe Biden
Tara Reade and Joe Biden
Excerpt: he story of Tara Reade and Joe Biden is not a story of a woman sexually assaulted by Joe Biden thirty years ago. On the surface, that may seem to be what it is. But it was thirty years ago. The story is of a media that only two years ago used a nearly forty-year-old story with no witnesses to try to destroy a Supreme Court nominee and, after demanding the public “believe all women,” is changing its standards for a Democrat. The reaction to Christine Blasey Ford is “believe all women.” Ms. Ford had no witnesses, no corroboration at the time of the incident, a fuzzy memory of the incident, and all the people she claimed might be witnesses turned out not to be. She also coordinated with a partisan Democrat attorney who in turn said Ford came forward out of concerns over Roe v. Wade. Nonetheless, members of the media treated Ford unskeptically. We were to believe all women. We were to treat the accusation as importantly as the truth. After all, talking heads from the New York Times to CNN assured us that this was about a powerless woman standing up to a powerful man and we needed to have her back to encourage more of that.

‘Reopen America’ Is Not a Synonym for ‘Ignore the Coronavirus’
Excerpt: If you tune in to the latest episode of The Editors podcast, you’ll notice intermittent notes of impatience in my rants. The United States and the world have to make a series of difficult decisions, choosing from a menu of bad options that all involve considerable risk. I quipped that this is a time for the grown-ups to make a decision. The metaphorical children in our national debate, the folks who cannot handle nuance or grasp different degrees of risk and who instantly demonize any position that isn’t theirs, ought to be quiet. Most of the country is in week seven of quarantine, lockdown, shelter-in-place or other restrictions. These rules look different on April 28 than they did on March 28. The country enacted a set of rules that were designed to help hospitals to continue to operate safely; in the process, they cut off most of the revenue for hospitals. I cannot think of a more spectacularly ironic headline than “Mayo Clinic to furlough or reduce pay of 30,000 employees” in the middle of a global health crisis.

Authoritarian Regimes Are Not Your Friend.
Authoritarian Regimes Are Not Your Friend. By JIM GERAGHTY
Excerpt: Even by the Chinese government’s own numbers, they’re producing jaw-dropping quantities of medical equipment that aren’t up to the right standards: “As of last Friday, China’s market regulators had inspected nearly 16 million businesses and seized more than 89 million masks and 418,000 pieces of protective gear, said Ms Gan Lin, deputy director of the State Administration of Market Regulation, at a press briefing.” And that’s just the stuff they’re catching before it goes out the door. Almost every country that is dealing with the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has ordered masks, tests, or personal protective equipment from China, only to open the boxes and find that the deliveries are unusable. In some cases, the equipment was distributed and used before the poor quality was discovered — offering false protection to medical personnel and exacerbating the spread of the virus instead of mitigating it.

Worth Reading: The Other Problem
Worth Reading: The Other Problem
Excerpt: The solution is simple. Media institutions need to do far better jobs of covering the full facet of stories like COVID-19. So often the media is in a left of center bubble that it never even knows about right of center concerns until those concerns have hardened. Then the reporting on those concerns often sounds belittling and partisan. Likewise, we need more reporters willing to be honest brokers. Consider Nancy Pelosi just yesterday suggesting she would have taken a harder line than the President in stopping travel with China in January. Numerous reporters just regurgitated her statement. Few pointed out that in January Pelosi voiced her opposition to the President’s travel ban and wanted to block it. Thankfully, some did, but they were in the minority. On the right, there are not enough willing to just deal with the facts of the virus and the data. Instead, rightwing voices are more often giving credibility to pseudoscientific hacks like Dr. Oz who will tell them what they want to hear. Likewise, you may want to watch this video from Dr. Dan Erickson (no relation). I have had literally dozens of people send it to me and he provides good information on why he thinks it is safe to reopen Kern County, California. Erickson says the local and state health directors agree with him....We are looking at the collapse of integrity in public institutions and the press and the rippling effects in society the collapse of integrity and trust are having. Sadly, instead of the media daring to be self-reflective, they are increasingly becoming partisan. Likewise, the alternative outlets stepping up too frequently start out lacking integrity.
