“Was this woman (may she have a lichtige gan eden) fit as an athlete, averagely healthy, averagely unhealthy or (previously) sickly?”
I like those descriptors, probably “averagely unhealthy” She had asthma but it was “intermittednt” menaing without any regular treatment she did not have regular exacerbations (though did have inhaler at home “in case” _ .
” How long after diagnosis did she start HCQ-Zinc+ treatment?”
At the time or prior to diagnossi. She was started in the Er when she presented with mild SOB being ppregnan tshe was nervous her OB sent her in as she was sattig in low 90’s
” Was she careful when she went out or cavalier?”
I’m not sure, though Im not sure how that would chaneg the course of disease. IF you get it you get it, of course its best not to get it, ie to not be cavalier. But if a person got it, im not sure that it matters if the y got it at a “corona party” or that one time she got to close to te uber eats delivery person
Where on the expected spectrum was her outcome? From probable to didn’t see that coming.”
didnt see that coming. She was young (34) young people werent supposed to die from corona. Though by the time i go called to see her she was quite sick
“HCQ+zinc aside, I’m interested in your medical opinion about the extent the feelings people have about covid (especially for those under 80 and generally healthy and even unhealthy) are being engineered by the media. …”
I’m not sure, I often wonder the same. There was a shift that took place. In March and earl April I was MORE afraid than Covid than the media let on. The media played up vent shortages but In the end there was enough vents , There was not enough staff, and other supplies dwindled. dialysis was a big problem .
Orginaly the “social distancing” was to prevent overwhelming the hospital system. In NYC in several hospitals I had privelges in the hospitals came close to breaking. In some ways they did.
since then B”h , at least here in NY things got better. At this point I’m not so sure what the point of the social distancing is. Corona is never going away. In 100 years it will STILL be around. Are we distancing until there is a vaccine? What if they dont develop one? The media focuses a lot on the number of cases. I’m not so sure why that matters. (incidently those who want to downplay corona also get excited by the number of cases because that makes the fatality rate less) I’m not sure why number of cases maters. to me it seems deaths, even hospitlizations matter if 150 kids in a Georgia camp get it and are fine, what exatly i s the issue? I dont really get it
