Any I will listen to them over a nutritionalist on any of them.
So I assume you did not watch the interview.
He has a very solid resume but you make him sound like a street food vendor. In case you did not know, a lot of states are relaxing the measures so up to a point CDC does concur.

You did not tell me though why you do not think that isolating the vulnerable and opening the economy for everyone else while respecting social distancing is a good idea.

I watched it friday....so wrong again

and which state has had 14 days of declining numbers again.

And your next reply will be the last word. I directed nothing to you so not sure why you had to start another argument.

my question was: "You did not tell me though why you do not think that isolating the vulnerable and opening the economy for everyone else while respecting social distancing is a good idea."
I am unsure why telling us what you think about it is starting of an argument.

In Ontario -........Currently :
Ontario Covid deaths 835 - (April 26- 2020) Population - 14 .6 million
Canada Covid deaths 2560 ( April 26 - 2020) Population - 37.6 million

******
Canada has not done a great job preventing nursing home deaths or the spread of Covid 19
into meat processing plants .

From news reports I read this evening - it appears that over 700 of Ontario’s deaths so far from Covid 19,
have been from spread within - nursing homes - long term care homes - senior residences .(Toronto Star articles )

Quebec has reported many deaths in similar circumstances.

British Columbia had Canada’s first large cluster of public transmission and deaths in a seniors residence .
That event was close to 60 days ago.

Very sad

Yes, this has been the case since this all started. Nearly all (90+%) of deaths are those who are old and some form of institutional care.

I mention this about hydroxychloroquinone, because if it is as dangerous as portrayed, why didn't these problem show up over the years? It has been used for decades for treatment of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, with no history of large number of side effects.
It appears it was dosage mostly-the "trials" were shots in the dark anyway. And the RA and Lupus patients are closely monitored.

The blood clot in young people has had a paper published that was peer reviewed. It is known that illness can bring on clots anyway; the CV19 ones appear to be more alarming at this point due to how fast they form, and they are forming in BOTH veins and arteries. One of the symptoms of more severe disease is the clotting factors go nutso. It wasn't known before that this also can happen in mild cases as well. One of the articles also mentioned that at one of the hospitals the 5 (? think it was 5 patients? may have been 7) young people who had strokes also waited to seek care-due to fright over "catching" CV19. Strokes do have a protocol for treatment and are very successful if started within a certain time period (within hours-3? 6?) so waiting to seek care may have worsened the stroke too.

prior reports did indicate outbreaks and deaths in long term care facilities in Ontario , Canada ; but if a patient was moved to a hospital and later died - it would not be specifically noted . The Toronto Star did extensive tracking and published data on Thurs. April 22 .On the weekend this data was basically confirmed by the ministry that regulates all long term care homes . Individuals information is private but the regulatory numbers would be public (sooner or later)
{ I only read this last night (Sun. April 26)}

If trials are being stopped for 10+% fatality rates, why wasn't that seen in lupus and rheumatoid arthritis prescriptions? And how would they know who was "at risk"? Any drug with that level of potential risk would have been banned decades ago.
And if anyone is wanting to go into the medical profession, they can save a lot of money. Instead of spending it on an 7-8 years of college and 3 years of residency, they can just come here and get expert advice from you. they don’t need no stinkin’ education and training.

Yes there are way too many personal attacks on this thread by numerous posters. Stick to expressing your personal opinions in a respectful way.

For those who may be interested, I have a degree in micro/molecular biology. I have studied - virology, pathogenic microbiology, epidemiology, immunology, microbial ecology, mammalian physiology at molecular level, multiple courses in biochemistry, and histology (with a little statistics thrown in). I make a living as a computer programmer, because that paid better. I try to keep as current as I can in molecular biology - intellectual curiosity.

I am not an M.D. and there are vast parts of medicine I have no opinion on. But on infectious diseases and their physiology, I know enough to ask meaningful questions and have opinions. And I look up the raw papers and read them. (and yes, I can read the language.)

And most importantly, I know how little we really know about COV-19, and how it attacks the human body.

Thank you, for your intellectual honesty. You are not alone we are all slowly gathering needed data and learning best practices as we go.

Cuomo estimates that 24.7% of NYC has already had Covid 19. The number actually went up from last week when it was 21.2%

Hi Danny, I appreciate your posts as I find them informative. But I do not think most Tuggers want to hear this stuff.

Stocks soar after positive Gilead news on potential coronavirus treatment, Dow up 500 points



Tread carefully Danny. Coronavirus a/k/a Covid-19 has become a sensitive issue here. There is additional information out there regarding this treatment though. ;)

I notice that the Drs Erickson and Massih interview was removed from YouTube for "Violating the terms of Service". I watched it before it vanished and am clueless what terms they violated. I thought it was an interview by reporters.

Cheers

maybe the news service the reporters work for have exclusive rights to broadcast it.

we have to listen to the medical professionals... but only those that support a certain narrative ;)

Yes, the powers that be are taking down various interviews by professionals because it doesn't fit the narrative they desire. It's a violation of the 1st Amendment.

But of course I know there are people who think we should all stay in our homes for 18 months.
