Excellent graph on coronavirus
This is a simple and excellent graph that illustrates how the response to the coronavirus issue is being handled. The idea that it can be 100% contained is unrealistic. It's going to spread .... as it has. The goal is to control as much as possible the rate that it spreads so the healthcare facilities and systems are not overwhelmed. The peak (in orange) is what happened in China. The goal of the CDC is the second peak. Despite all the hype, fears and finger-pointing (political) this graph is spot on. https://funkyimg.com/i/331q1.jpg -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

It is like pulling off a band aid. Do you want to do it slowly or just yank it off and get over it. I think we will all get it eventually. The current prediction is that this sill slow down considerably in the summer and come back with a vengeance next winter. |

Of course, those facts don't assist in Trump-bashing, so not mentioned. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

Literally across a parking lot, LabCorp has a pretty big lab it uses to service various health facilities in the area, so the practice I see gets results the same day if the tests are taken in the morning. There are a lot of medical practitioners within a mile or two miles of our regional hospital. |

The first was a NP who got the symptoms and facts. Then the doctor came on and discussed the problem. 99.99% flu.

A smart watch already gets most of your vitals anyway. I could draw blood, I imagine, if they would send me the kit with the hose for the bottles. I am not squeamish about poking myself. We have done the teledoc a few times, mostly my wife and as long as you just want a prescription, it seems to work OK. I may be doing it myself with my regular PCP if he will play along. I have some questions but I don't want to go there. This may be a good excuse. ;-) |

I was notified that I can opt for a video appointment at my next scheduled visit to the VA.Â* Normally I pick up "slips" at the VA clinic and take them to Quest for blood to be drawn and analyzed. Quest electronically reports back to my primary care with the results within a day. For the video appointment option, the VA will contact Quest authorizing the blood work to be done.Â* I just go to Quest, give the blood, then sign in for the video thing when scheduled. My Primary Care person wanted to do this a few months ago just to see how I was doing with some medication she prescribed.Â* I told her I'd have to take the electrical tape off the camera on my computer. She laughed and said she'd just give me a telephone call instead. LabCorp has a small office and a registered nurse stationed within the offices of the medical practice I use. Literally across a parking lot, LabCorp has a pretty big lab it uses to service various health facilities in the area, so the practice I see gets results the same day if the tests are taken in the morning. There are a lot of medical practitioners within a mile or two miles of our regional hospital. My plan covers both but I prefer Quest. That may just be the staff here tho. I see a day real soon where Quest/LabCorp is just a glory hole. You drive up, stick your arm through the hole as the positively pressurized room exhales on you. They hose your arm down, take the blood and you drive off. |

I do have the regulators and flow gauges too. Better have some strong friends for a 300 tank. It is about 140 pounds empty, more with the cap and gas but I have a hand truck.

That is 1.444 liters so even at 6-7 L/M that is over 1000 days so I may be overshooting a bit ;-) My 80 should last a couple hundred days. |

But look at the percentage. 34 million cases with 20 thousand deaths is .05%. cOVID-19 is 1-8% deaths. 34 million at 2% would be 680,000 deaths. You don't know the actual denominator. There are many covid cases that don't have enough symptoms to see a doctor or get diagnosed as a carrier. “Early estimates of the coronavirus death rate from China, the epicenter of the outbreak, have been around 2 percent. But a new report on 1,099 cases from many parts of China, published on Friday in The New England Journal of Medicine, finds a lower rate: 1.4 percent. The coronavirus death rate may be even lower, if — as most experts suspect — there are many mild or symptom-?free cases that have not been detected. The true death rate could turn out to be similar to that of a severe seasonal flu, below 1 percent, according to an editorial published in the journal by Dr. Anthony S. Fauci and Dr. H. Clifford Lane, of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Dr. Robert R. Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” https://www.cato.org/blog/covid-19-d...-who-estimates -- Freedom Isn't Free! |
