Politics And Current Events

I know people want this to be something...but there is a high likelihood it’s benefit is minimal. Pharmacologically it doesn’t make sense. I hope it has significant benefit but I’m not optimistic You said it was promising only two days ago, did something change your mind? There is some promise in t...

The only reason people are against this cocktail of drugs is because Trump said he liked it.
No. It’s because he has no **** clue what he’s talking about and his pushing this cocktail as an imaginative cure to COVID.

“Im not a doctor but I have common sense”

People who don't understand why General Motors hasn't turned in any ventilators this week. I just think the whole thing is a marketing ploy. Yea they might make some vents, but do we really think they are even put a dent into the need. I don’t. It was a way for Trump to act like there was a handle ...

Some people on here. I questioned companies like GM making vents without partnering with companies who already make vents. It sounds great but doesn’t make tons on sense to me.

The fact that Washington was able to get ahead of the virus and prevent mass outbreak is evidence enough that had the US taken appropriate action, we would not be the new epicenter of the virus. I don't understand how pointing the finger at failures in Europe deflects from the failure of our respon...

Just asking. He said it was promising, so I was wondering if they started using that as more of a standard is all.
Yea it’s still tough to gauge because honestly, we have not seen a huge surge yet in Pittsburgh.

Trip, how are patients reacting to the hydroxychloroquine in their battle with the virus? And is azithromycin being used alongside?

To add to my last post: viruses are very tough to treat medicinally in general. You have to remember that. Most antivirals in most cases really aren’t very effective

I asked her about vents, since it seems like that’s the big story here. The news almost makes it sound like if you go on a vent, you’re as good as dead right now. I’d like to see a breakdown on everyone who went on a vent. This is wildly incorrect. There have been many patients on 1+ week of mechan...

Also, since hydroxychloroquine is back in the news, I’m curious to know a) how many hospitals are trying that route, and b) at what point that is being used in a patient’s status. My assumption is that it’s only being used for those who are past the breathing difficulty stage and actually have a co...

He's guilty of diarrhea-chowder speak. Standing next to Trump talking about bibles? Good for him not doing crack though, Trump probably would have offered a bump after that molasses.
