I am growing weary of those who have no idea about the effect this thing is having on our population from a mental or psychological point of view. And I grow weary of those who do not care.
I will say it again - if you never consider different points of view in this situation - a situation that has many sides and angles and "tentacles" that reach so many, you are stubborn and part of the problem. Both sides are wrong about parts of this.
Some people on this board are convinced they are 100% right all the time. Either you are the smartest person on the planet, or you're wrong sometimes.
Outstanding post.
I would like to think we are still a nation of roll up your sleeves and lets figure this out.
After reading this thread for the past few weeks seems more like we are a country of we can't.
Best friends next door are practitioners, Covid testing even. Two ER nurses in large metro ATL hospitals on other side. Care for each other’s children. Taking it seriously? Sure. Worried and petrified from amateur doom preachers? No.
Ive also knew two people (One high schooler) commit suicide during the first lockdown. The other a dad.
@texdawg I’m sensing some positive momentum and welcome back to the thread...ha. Let’s go Dawgs. Keep the train rollin’. Common sense rules.
Canedawg,
No worries, I didn't even see it. I'm focused on getting the main halyard and companionway hatch repaired so I can keep sailing across the Atlantic.
Yale, I am the one who can't think critically?!😂 We haven't even discussed many of the most compelling arguments! But, as I said earlier, I think the Israeli doctor summed the situation up nicely (see below). It isn't just her study. The same strong correlation has been found in other studies (mild cases=high vitamin D; bad outcomes=deficient vitamin D). We'll see what happens as more research is done, but making sure you aren't deficient in D is a really good idea right now imho.
>>“We don’t know the mechanism....What we do know is that people who develop severe COVID and were hospitalized – these people have significantly low vitamin D levels.”<<
Man, I was doing the exact same thing yesterday afternoon...
How do you protect everyone financially if everything is shutdown? And for how long? And then when you open it comes back and you shutdown again? Eventually the medical system fails, utilities etc. People I know work from home or are retired but eventually there company or retirement plan are funded by those working not from home.
Have talked to Doctor mask to mask in the Jacksonville area and they are absolutely using hydroxychloroquine. I hear the narrative the President killed people recommending it. Well yes it can exasperate heart conditions but you don't get this over the counter a Dr prescribes it.
I know doctors are using HCQ. It doesn't work.
People fear what they don't know. I'll insert myself into this for this purpose. At first, most of us were very concerned. But after a few weeks I realized that it wasn't Armageddon. Most healthcare professionals have been desensitized to it now. Or maybe a better way to put it is we are more comfortable dealing with it. Doesn't mean we don't care, we just don't wig out. If you're generally healthy, you're generally safe.
"I’m generally a big fan of epidemiology and epidemiologists."
Why bother to post an opinion piece that starts off with the above statement? Amateurish at best.
When the evidence is overwhelming I guess this is all you got.
The evidence isn't overwhelming. HCQ has worked in patients all over the world. Again, if you're only getting your news from fringe opinion sources then you'll have a skewed perspective on the facts.
That said, HCQ was never more than a stop gap until something better comes along. Based on weekly reports it appears a vaccine is on the horizon.
These Doctors I am talking to say it does. A patient here in Jacksonville at the beginning got it and could barely walk into Baptist South, said his chest X-ray was the worst they had seen so far. The Doctors gave it to him up front and he left the hospital without even going on a ventilator. Must have been a placebo effect
