She wasn't dodging the question, she is directly answering the question.

Lots of Covid19 patients have heart issues, or heart risk factors. That's part of why they are in the hospital, instead of having a mild case at home.

The two most serious comorbid conditions to having a fatal case of the Corona virus is obesity and heart disease. The two go hand in hand. More mass means the heart is working a lot harder. Also people with heart conditions and circulatory problems are going to find exercise difficult and become obese. It's kind of a chicken and egg thing.

Obesity causes diabetes, diabetes cause neuropathy making walking painful that increases 5he obesity.

Obviously any patient considering taking that regimen needs to have any form of heart condition ruled out.

If they are already sick, they're already dying, and nothing else is working and you give that to them as a Hail Mary it probably won't save them and it might actually kill them. They and their doctor might consider it worth the risk, simply because that's a doctor with no treatments available what are you going to tell a terminally I'll Covid 19 patient?

Text a flip side. You have a fairly healthy patient with no comorbid risks and so no reason you can't give the regimen and you give the regimen to them and they get better. You and the patient are going to perceive that as having been helpful when it very well me of hadn't know effect at all.

There's a doctor who has seen over 1500 patience and has given that cocktail to all of them. These are patience that he saw in the very early stages of the disease. He only lost three patients. He believes it works. Perhaps all of the other ones would have gotten better without it. There's really no way to know.

But he acknowledged that even though the hospital gives the drug to nearly everyone who is admitted, the percentage of people who end up in the intensive care unit — about a third of those admitted — is similar to reports in other places where the drug is not used.

Trump golfed in public, at his private property in Sterling, VA. and twitted.

He twitted back in 10/23/2014 -

“President Obama has a major
meeting on the NYC Ebola
outbreak, with people flying in from
all over the country, but decided to
play golf !”

Masturbation material for necrophiliacs or those not ready for the real thing.

Sick stuff but some, like bodysong, get off on the numbers. In all likelihood mortality data is a substitute for corpses. Kind of like porn substituting for live human beings.

trump's insecurity fuels his monstrous vanity, and it's his monstrous vanity that prevents him putting forward the right public health message to americans by wearing a mask.

there are people, way too many, who look to him for cues to their own behaviour; they won't wear masks because he doesn't. this president's irresponsibility endangers lives.

 

[jaF0]

they won't wear masks because ...

... it ain't fuckin' Halloween.

I see BBs in masks in stores, I try not to laugh at them.

This is the key point people are missing.

Yes, many people won't die from Covid, but the non fatal damage from the virus can cause long term health issues due to the impact on internal organs.

This is not unique to Covid and should give pause to those who minimize the danger and ignore the future costs of widespread infection. Think of it like carcinogens. They might not kill you today, but they can lead to suffering and premature death down the line.

the number is so large now my brain refuses to imagine what that looks like in gravestones or be able to comprehend the enormous well of grief that represents.

i was deeply shocked at 30,000... now i'm unable to process it

it has become a number more than individuals, and that's dangerous as it distances people from the reality

Which is why Trump and the board Trumpettes prefer to think of it as a number (and to up the number occasionally of what would be acceptable).

You live in the fear of it so deep that you are out of touch with reality. Like you said, you can't process it.

 

[jaF0]

I figure the big scary number freaking people out will be a third or less, possibly much less once they weed out all the fraudulent 'possible' or 'suspected' cases.

 

[Wrong Element]

There have some days recently where the top ten countries for new cases have included just one European country, Russia. The worst of it now is in Latin America, South Asia, the Arabian peninsula, and that old standby, the US of A.

When you remove New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts from the equation, I'm not sure things have gotten more than just slightly better here. I see very little possibility that we can drop below several hundreds deaths/day nationally, in the absence of radical advances in treating the disease. We've decided as a country we just don't want to do it because we don't much care about the kinds of people who are being put at risk.
