The FDA and CDC completely fricked our entire country with this testing fiasco.

People are rightly pissed at China/WHO but the FDA and CDC are right there with them.

I would suggest picking up a bloodox monitor from CVS/Walgreens and monitor it. I would not go to hospital right now unless it started reading out of the normal range. There is nothing they will do for you at the hospital unless lung function is deteriorating.

Way more important news piece from today:

FDA Approves Plasma Treatment

LINK

quote:

The Food and Drug Administration approved new emergency protocols Tuesday that will allow doctors to treat coronavirus patients with plasma donated by those who survived the virus, according to NBC News.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that the state’s health department would begin using the plasma treatment on critically ill coronavirus patients.Known as convalescent plasma, the treatment is centuries-old and was used during the 1918 flu pandemic. It involves harvesting antibodies that fight viruses from the blood of those who were previously infected. The method was also used on some patients during the 2002 SARS outbreak.The FDA cautioned that convalescent plasma has not yet been proven effective for the coronavirus and that researchers should apply for permission before beginning a trial that uses it.

These mother frickers are the biggest debbie downers around.

Everytime something positive is found they pull out their 'Acktualleey, it isn't proven effective'

Half must post on TD as wishcasters.

Why wait till someone is critically ill to try these treatments? Their lungs are fricked by then. They are very likely to die in a vent. Treat people when it can help.

If someone is high risk then they should be able to request it before they become critical.

FWIW, like thermometers they're in short supply.

We got one last week off Amazon and it was basically the only semi-legit looking product left. Maybe it's gotten better, but I doubt it.
