Renegade7 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 What the actual ****? https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/04/22/coronavirus-blood-clots/ Quote One month ago when the country went into lockdown to prepare for the first wave of coronavirus cases, many doctors felt confident they knew what they were dealing with. Based on early reports, covid-19 appeared to be a standard variety respiratory virus, albeit a contagious and lethal one with no vaccine and no treatment. They’ve since seen how covid-19 attacks not only the lungs, but also the kidneys, heart, intestines, liver and brain. Increasingly, doctors also are reporting bizarre, unsettling cases that don’t seem to follow any of the textbooks they’ve trained on. They describe patients with startlingly low oxygen levels — so low that they would normally be unconscious or near death — talking and swiping on their phones. Asymptomatic pregnant women suddenly in cardiac arrest. Patients who by all conventional measures seem to have mild disease deteriorating within minutes and dying at home. With no clear patterns in terms of age or chronic conditions, some scientists hypothesize that at least some of these abnormalities may be explained by severe changes in patients’ blood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm coming down with something. But yeah, I was wondering about that. Polling companies' entire business model is built around sampling a small (but very carefully selected) fraction of the population, to draw conclusions about the population as a whole. Granted, they said Hillary was going to win, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Good god, Trump now talking over Birx while she’s at the podium. No matter your political affiliation, I just cannot grasp how anyone could like this guy in any capacity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Trump: Quote Special care is, and always will be, given to our beloved seniors (except me!). So is he saying special care won't be given to him, or that he's not beloved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) This is very, very good news: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/22/coronavirus-saliva-tests-could-be-as-accurate-or-better-than-nasal-swabs-yale-researchers-say.html Quote Saliva tests for Covid-19 could be at least as accurate — possibly more so — than the commonly used nasal swab tests in screening for the coronavirus, new research from Yale University shows. The researchers said their findings suggest that saliva samples could be used for at-home coronavirus tests on a large scale nationally. We can ramp up testing by orders of magnitude if it's as simple as having people spit into a cup at home. Edited April 23, 2020 by Bacon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably been told that it will happen by his medical experts, so he's trying to get out in front of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
