Hey one question...it may be a dumb question....it would be nearly impossible to die or be hospitalized if a person was "asymptomatic" correct?

The retired super intended of are school system here got it. I pray this is just "just the flu". I'm not knocking anyone for taking it lightly. I myself was at first I still see some funny a$$ memes bout it. The one thing i do know that I'm 100% sure of is. I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH CORONA. She sounds like one evil bi+ch.

You'd have to be crazy to "take it lightly".

I'm totally cutting back on unnecessary spending. Not feeding very much if at all, not renewing any subscriptions, cutting back on utility usage, etc. Retired and depending on 401(k) is stressful.

Mark, there are no dumb questions right now. Valid information needs to be searched out and shared. As to your question, I wouldn't know, but I would think you're correct.

My better half, who was a Parkland Hosp SICU nurse for over 20 years, had to deal with isolated incidents with other extremely contagious diseases with similar patient respiratory issues when she was there. Pt isolation, full medical haz mat suits for staff, etc., etc., and she said it's a horrible way to die. It's extremely stressful for the hospital staff as well. Hospital nutritional staff, bed control, cleanup services, all have their daily routines affected by contagious diseases. 10 pts with gunshot wounds are far easier for hospital staff to manage than a single contagious pt.

Having said all that, we're doing what's recommended, and are attempting to adjust to the new normal. It may be here for a while.

Al, what's with the 'pt' abbreviation for 'patients?'

You going all 'Trapper John, MD' on us???

I wont be surprised if we (USA) goes on total lockdown. That's everything besides hospitals, pharmacies and grocery stores. Now I could be wrong but if I was a betting man I'd put a 1000 on it.

Al...can you ask her a question?

From what I understand the vast majority of corona-virus patients never have to be hospitalized or die, but the ones where it is more serious it usually involves respiratory issues.

So if I can get a doctor to write me an RX for a ZPak and just keep it at home....then if I contract the Corona-virus and I started having respiratory issues I could start my ZPak and not have to go to a crowded doctor's office and/or crowded ER when I am in a contagious condition?

Wouldn't it be helpful to have a "ZPak in waiting" so at the first sign of corona effecting respiratory problems I could start my ZPak?

Maybe. I'm trying to be serious and accurate, and it's proving to be difficult. I can't wait to start poking you with a stick again. Hopefully soon.

She said Azithromycin is for bacterial infections. It might not hurt to have one handy, but she wouldn't know if it worked with this scenario.

Ummm the last time the doctor gave me a ZPak it was for upper respiratory issues and it seemed to work well.

From what I understand with Corona, it is not Corona that is in the lungs, but that it leads to also having the upper respiratory issues.

I dunno...it's above my pay grade...lol

But I just got a doctor after I explained my theory few minutes ago on PushHealth.com to write me a ZPak RX....so I am happy.

Thanks Al

I source my intel from the CDC allowing me to balance it with mainstream media - I personally find it unwise to discount professional advise from those dedicated to creating science and keeping humans alive, you know, Epidemiologists, et al. I read there may be an "easing" in social distancing, etc. by mid to late May...

In other news - I heard reports Covid positive otters and cormorants are amassing at TX borders are [most likely] NOT accurate, so there's a beam of sunlight.

The Governor of Pennsylvania yesterday ordered a "total lock-down"....but of course there are always exemptions. I looked at the PDF of the PA exempt business types and it includes my type of business. Hospitals, Pharmacies, supply trucking companies, and grocery stores need plumbers, electricians, mechanics, HVAC, and many other support type of business that keep them operating.

I hope and pray late April and May bring a decline and I think it will happen around that time.

I agree with listening to professionals, and I usually do....but even the experts many times disagree.

Plus doctors don't spend millions and millions on malpractice because they don't make errors.

I don't listen to physicians in the news, rather scientists. Scientists do not carry malpractice policies.

I just heard second hand news that the PA National Guard has been activated and guardsman were told to be prepared to deploy for (30) days.

Come Monday, once the Army and the National Guard was 'in place,' they would announce closure for ALL business, and in-home lock down. Supposedly, rioting and looting is expected, and they wanted 'authority' in place to handle things...which sounds like Marshall law.

Wow...NBA, NCAA tourney just cancelled 9 days ago and now they're anticipating riots/looting? I'm maintaining hope we don't go "baboon" that quickly - it's been such a short time and sounds as though everything aside from hand sanitizer and toilet paper is readily available at stores or online. CDC predicts mid to late May until policies should be "eased"...if we collectively go to pot that quickly, hard to imagine what things will emerge in 6-8 weeks.

Do you feel it getting edgy out there? What's your gut feeling? Over-reaction?

I get your degree of puzzlement, Zep, and in many ways share it. S Korea seems to be on top of things better than anywhere, the difference appears they had abundant testing available and positive results were quarantined? Tests are a resource still largely unavailable here in Lincoln, NE - which is baffling to me considering we [as a Nation] saw this thing coming months ago.

Tj, to answer ya no I dont feel edgy. I feel what some people dont realize is we dont have a supply problem what we have is a demand problem. The supply is still there. Might take awhile to relish the toilet paper n lysol. But if everyone would just calm down and stay home and just do what you have to. If people would just do this for a few weeks hopefully this craziness will go away. Who really knows it might take longer. But I feel that until most of us dont get on board it will spread like a wildfire.

That's correct. The respiratory issues with COVID-19 are are caused by a virus. Azithromycin is kinda sorta a ramped up Amoxicillin, and both are for upper body bacterial infections.

Hi guys as some of you know our pond's in Boone County but I live and work in Los Angeles. We're on shelter-in-place. I shut down my lab and sent my staff home for two months (with pay). Stay safe out there, stay clean, and stay home if you can, please.
