Thanks. Our doubling is getting into higher numbers of people now. But the doubling here has leveled off to every 10 days. That is good news. NY is at every 2 days! Hopefully this will slow that down, but there are several states that are just starting to ramp up like Georgia, Louisiana and New Jersey.
From what we are seeing I think death rate will turn out lower here than anywhere else in the world. Just because we will end up testing more and have a larger number of cases. What people need to realize is the death rate in people that are at a risk has not changed. It’s still dealt with underlying problems.
What do you think of the Anti malaria drug that seems to be promising medic?. One doctor claiming out of 350 patients no deaths ,no ventilators.
Same thing here. A group in a rural county had a meeting of 60 people around March 13th. 32 of them now are infected.
Like I said it’s not peer reviewed for accuracy. Medical studies have to be with a grain of salt because they are usually conducted to prove a theory since it’s unethical to withhold a treatment for a placebo. The only concrete study right now is 34 pts overseas.
You are very correct morbid or not. There are multiple cases that died before tests came back and autopsy is revealing the cause of death.
Peer review is an enormous problem across all sciences in modern times, there simply isn't funding or money in repeating and publishing on the experiments of others, a critical step in peer review. I have been dealing with the same issue in my area of study for two decades. But it does appear that the attention and immediacy required by this situation is causing a reversal of that trend, there appears to be a lot of collaboration and organization around research into COVID-19.
A lot of barriers are being broken right now. All medical studies are hard to take in. As I said if it involves a placebo vs treatment it is very unethical to withhold treatment so all studies in the medical field are skewed unless they are looking at historical data.
That I can agree with completely. I must have misinterpreted your other statement. My apologies
unfortunately is looks inevitable, imo people just didn't take this threat seriously over the weekend, many, many photos showing folks out and about on the nice Saturday & Sunday we had, standing at parks together, playing games, waiting on lines close with each other.
In as much as I've never had it and don't want it, only what I read, but by the same token, I personally don't know of anyone who has recovered from it so could be all smoke and mirrors.
Additionally, if you want a first hand (me) play by play account of what it's like to survive colo-rectal and liver cancer, I'd be more than will to share. How would you feel about being told that you have at best a 30% chance to survive and deal with all the pain and anguish and the chemo and the surgery and being on life support and close to death but surviving it and walking away (literally) and being 100% cancer free.. we can tell you about that 'cause I've been there and did that and that is the primary driver of why I take this so seriously. I am and always will be compromised so I sure as hell don't want it.
It may appear that way, but I believe the reason most are removed from the study is that they’re found to have circumstances that invalidate their data, such as it was discovered they doubled up and used another treatment that might invalidate the study results. Those people might feel or claim they are being removed for other reasons, but that’s not likely the case.
