I wish I was in perfect shape like you. But alas, I may die cause I'm not. You in the master race will make it though.

OVID
A week ago, Wednesday was describing COVID-19 as “a bad cold.”. Apparently, all it takes to take this virus seriously is a near-death in one’s own social circle.
Winning the message board still remains vital, even in times like this.

Ed Aschoff was posthumously diagnosed with lymphoma, if I’m not mistaken. He was immunocompromised.

It's all or nothing with you people.
The risk is exponentially higher to the aged and infirm. And inversely, it much lower for those younger and in good health.
A friend of mine nearly died from pneumonia in his late 30's. Picture of health and not overweight at all.
It happens.

My mother somehow ripped it out when she was in ICU after her heart attack. They think she got her leg/foot up there to do it as her arms were restrained.

More likely the vent tubing was fixated and she yanked or turned her torso away from it, extubating herself in the process..

Doesn't seem like it was but it's been three years so I can't really say. I know the nurses said they'd never seen anyone do it before.
Her voice was kinda rough for a couple months after that.

I’m pretty sure he is taking paralytic meds to keep his body from fighting the ventilator. When you are on the ventilator they force the alveoli open which increases your blood CO2 and you react by wanting to exhale. Paralysis prevents that. You need to be in this state until the inflammation between the alveoli and the capillaries subsides. His lungs are not necessarily relaxing. At least that is my understanding.
It depends on how sick the pt is and how they’re ventilating him. If he’s in severe ARDS, they’re probably ventilating him with Airway Pressure Release Ventilation, which they worry more about his oxygen levels as opposed to co2 levels.
This is what I do for a living. Being a respiratory therapist, fighting a pt with ARDS is rough. Hope he makes it out of this tough predicament.

If that’s going to be the unhealthy type of person at high risk then holy frick, this country, especially the Midwest and the south, is going to see a lot of people merc’d by this virus.

They are often the result of nursing/RT oversight, and they can be quite dangerous when they occur. Hence RN reticence, perhaps, to be fully transparent with you. In defense of the staff in your incident, though SE's are not frequent, they are not exceedingly rare, even in the best of units.
I know the nurses said they'd never seen anyone do it before.

Are you serious you fricking douchebag? S/he righteously and indignantly accused me of "taking away" from her post something insensitively when I simply asked her how she knows the virus doesn't survive in "warm."
How the hell is that righteous indignation? Ironically your bitch post is also righteously indignant.
Or do you have something besides false information to tell us about the virus and "warmth"?
frick off.

Wonder if and how annual pollen apocalypse might also be a factor in some way?
Uneducated opinion here, dj...but in worst cases inflammation leading to anti-biotic treatment can not be good, if accompanied by CV.
We'll know A LOT in about two weeks, as it spreads into the general population.
Good luck. Or God speed. Natural world is a crapshoot and a dogfight.

Wednesday is just back from her weekly grocery shopping trip where she washed her hands before she left, kept 6 ft apart while she was there, and after she came home where she picked up some extra crow and nonperishables; bc it appears she may be home for a while.
The crow went with her acknowledgment in the OP that stopping the spread is the reason for the freakout and that Trump and JBE did the right thing by shutting shite down, and having someone so close to her age and occupation really brought that home. Sorry I can’t be as altruistic as you, Hank.
I still say frick the media and Democrats for spreading panic and causing a toilet paper shortage. They could have spent the last 2 wks saying that we should shelter in place bc it will prevent the spread to at risk groups, and focused on that instead of whether Trump sounded presidential enough and touched a microphone. Would have been way more useful.
As for those of you who think that somehow someone who isn’t an Olympic Athlete at 45 deserves to be in ICU quarantined from his family. Well. I got Nothin. I’m going to go on a jog instead of mass, and I’ll pray for your souls and the Frilot Family while I’m on it.

I ain't no doctor of medicine, but I've got it in my mind that there are probably many possible "lesser" causes of one's immune system strength to be just low enough or compromised just enough at just the wrong time, coming into contact with the virus, even in cases of younger people who don't necessarily appear to be unhealthy. A series of unfortunate events.
Not that this doesn't happen in the case of the "flu bug" as well, but I guess in the case of the latter there are treatments immediately available to help head off a worst case scenario. And yes, even then there are deaths of the "young" from flu bug infection. But in the instant case, there are no tailored treatments.

1) Pretty much 1% of my post had to do with warm weather, I found it weird that someone would focus on that detail which was only included out of good faith desire to spread a little hope.
2) I changed that minor detail, when I realized that it may or may not be accurate, bc false hope, while still hope, isn’t healthy.
3) the sole focus of my post (and which it still
Is) was to suggest to my fellow PoliBaws that we (and definitely me) may have let our distrust of the media cause us to tune out EVERYTHING they said, even when such was against our better interests and, and to express that I hope y’all all stay safe.
Even dumbasses like you McLemore.
PS thank you Burd

Does that assertion mean no high blood pressure? High blood pressure is a co-mortality factor with COVID-19. Because being on an ace-inhibitor, like lisinopryl, is raising concerns due to its ability to change an aceI receptor into an ace2 receptor
COVID-19 is shown to enter target cells via the ace2 receptor
