Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

What? Since three days ago? LOL. Who is "they"?

Funny we are still treating with it. We only have one death and he was early on. All the rest have done pretty good.

Knocking what down? If it worked, would they spend all this time and money looking for other drugs?

Yes absolutely they will and still do with every virus / disease we know .. it’s all about them Benjamin’s $$$

Yes

So sad

Coronavirus kills 70 veterans at US care home

This is my biggest fear, the elderly not being cared for properly during this.

 

[0nelilreb]

Yes

Once we came up with a test kit for this virus , we should have just stopped there . Smh

 

[NurseGoodVol]

your thinking makes me thing of this for some reason:

The nitrates alone in one can would kill the rona.

The post was talking about the side effects of the drug in question . As you pointed out to bolster my statement , nothing we use is without side effects it’s the degree of the damage vs the outcome of doing nothing that is in question with this drug . To me liver and kidney hits far outweigh death .

You keep missing the point. There's no evidence that death is being avoided by using the drug, there is evidence however of organ damage.

I don't understand why this is that hard to digest.

Also, side effects do not equate to "damage", in fact many drugs are prescribed off label because the side effects have intended effects elsewhere.

They are not cared for properly anyway. A nursing home is one of the saddest places on the planet.

The idea that it time to move past HDCL. Doctors, people trained in medicine, are using it. What is your training in?

Some success does not equal all out cure. So yes, people would still be looking for new drugs and treatments. Anymore stupid questions?

How would you go about collecting that evidence?

You keep missing the point , there are Hospitals currently using this drug to successfully treat patients that are actually coming off of vents and going home . The only difference in administering a studied drug that you can look up the side effects on and this one is the ability of the Drs to acknowledge the effects before prescribing it . Hit to the vitals vs death . Simple choice for me , how about you if you are faced with the choice of taking it or not ?

This guy is awesome.

I know how but they chose to do the study at the VA instead of at the hospitals using it .

Good old Hoad. I'm kidding. I don't know who Hoad is, but it's very similar to using myself and other -self/-selves pronouns in bad writing, then HA...sort of like betwixt
Edit: Some archaic words linger.

Like behooves

Yes. Just be sure to where it like the gimp.

Some people have claimed that that particular drug saved their lives. Here's just one, whatever.

Hoad's etymology gives 'whilst' as a derivation of 'whiles', an adverbial form of 'while'. The 't' on the end is parasitic (cf. among~amongst, amid~amidst, etc.). 'Whilst' started to be used as a conjunction, equivalent to 'while', in the 13th century.
In modern British English, 'whilst' is supposedly a more formal variant of 'while'. It is also, in my experience, particularly beloved of students who write bad essays.

It's a legitimate question. I don't know how evidence that a drug prevents death could be collected.

A guy given the drug might have lived without it so no evidence. A guy dies after taking it does it prove it doesn't prevent death?

 

[FLVOL_79]

Well duh. Lol. I obviously understand it if you're not sick. If you're sick and not sure what it was wouldn't you get tested? If not, why. I'm just curious because I don't get it.

If you're sick and not getting tested on purpose you're a dummy.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Whilst enticing, I’m not taking that bait.

We all gotta make sacrifices for mother earth! I'm using less gas on my weekend bonfires. I'm doing my part.

I know, it was one of my most disheartening rotations. The bright light seemed to be the aides who attached personally to the residents and made sure they were cared for.

Don't be so sensitive.

Thanks, @GordonC

Yeah, he's got some good ones. It's like a live performance of some of the posts from the Q thread

Correct but you know through logic that you would study the hospitals using the drug to cover all data and that a VA is the wrong place to study that drug unless you are looking for specific results .
